I wonder if anyone is reading this? I have kinda put my socks to the side for now. I am in a rut and just don't want to deal with it at the moment. Probably because my DD#1 is sick with some kind of stomach bug. She went to the doctor today and he said it was a 24 hr virus thingy. I hope so, she's so skinny naturally that she doesn't have any poundage to lose.
I am kinda down lately too that I haven't heard anything from my husband in the last few days. I pray he's doing alright. I always get down when I go for an extended period of time not hearing from him. It's so hard, esp now at the end of the deployment. I just want him home already.
Well, my SmallVille episode is over so I should hit the rack (as my dear hubby would say). DD #1 has a dentist appointment in 6 hours! Yikes! g'night!

still here...
Well, my friend is telling me to update this thing. Maybe soon huh? LOL I am sitting here watching more "Small Ville" and finishing putting together a toy organizer I bought today. I am really trying to get things organized and put away before my hubby comes back from the sand. I have kinda let the house go.... :-(
Tomorrow I am making some welcome home banners with my FRG (family readiness group). I am excited for that and being with my hubby again. But I am a little sad that my life as it is now will end. I really enjoy hanging out with my friends and will miss the closeness and the time I spent all of them.
I have re-done the heel part of that sock I am still knitting. I am stalled out right now...I guess just unsure of how to proceed. I am sure I will figure it out sometime.
i just bought some coffee from www.freshcoffee.net and it's making my house smell SOOO nice! My friend made me some real cappuccino tonight and I was in heaven. She and I have been discussing opening our own coffee shop in the states. I don't know the first thing about opening a business so if anyone has any suggestions I would be more than happy to hear!
Anyways, it's like 2:46am here so I'd better hit the hey

Rhianna's birthday!
Today Rhianna turned 2! My baby girl is growing up! Sniff sniff!! The party went great, I had invited all of her little friends from the nursery at church and some of Malayah's friends. We had 6 kids and 2 babies. If I could find my camera I'd post a few pictures. :-) Rhianna had a lot of fun, decorating cupcakes and making necklaces with Fruit Loops. And now I am sitting here playing with my blog instead of cleaning the disaster that is my house! ;-) ah but there's always time for that...
I am still working on those socks for Rhianna too. I got stuck on the heel and instep. It takes me awhile to figure things out so I will get it eventually! LOL I will post a pic when i get them done!
I heard from my DH (dear husband) this morning. It's getting really close to the time when he comes back from Iraq. I am excited and nervous and scared at the same time. My FRG (family readiness group) is making welcome home banners this weekend! It's so nice to see "welcome home" instead of "good-bye"
Well, my friends invited me to Burger King for dinner so i will go for now! :-P

My first post...
Hello! I have never had an online journal before so this should be interesting! :-) I had a "game and movie night" with a few friends over and it's really late so I won't be doing any knitting tonight! I am in the process of working on some socks for my middlest daughter, Rhianna. Her birthday is this Saturday and I had hoped to finish them by then but it's not looking very promising! Well, I will post more when I can! G'night!
