Having one of those whinny army wife moments

We are nearing this dreaded month long training. I just have to say, I am not ready to give up my husband!! I know he has to go and I want him to be more than prepared for deployment and I fully understand this, but it NEVER gets an easier saying "see ya later". It feels like yesterday that I just got him back. I guess when the Army calls he must go. 


I want so much for this to be over with already, I know the month will seem like it is going by slow but in all actuality it will go by fast. 


I am worried that when my husband leaves that C will act out like he did the last time, Mr.E left for a long time. Both boys have been getting better each time daddy leaves for the field, but I am not sure if I can handle that all over again by myself. I know I will just buck up and push on, but the stress will eventually start to weigh on me. 


Although I hate to see him go, I am very excited to hear about all the things he will get to do. 


Ok, so now I have all the whinny-ness out of my system,


We have been having a great week so far. I am planning my big coupon shop for Monday. I am very excited about this. I started couponing back this summer but never saved all that much, but now I have been really doing my homework and I think or more like hope that I have it down and I am going to put it in action Monday :)  


If I am not on before Monday 
Happy Halloween to everyone!!! 

A turns 2!!

 Friday was Mr.A's birthday!! He had a blast! We are so grateful that nana and papa could be here to celebrate his 2nd birthday. His party was low key, just some cupcakes, presents and some grilled food. 


The weekend was very bitter sweet. Mom flew in Thursday night and headed out this afternoon. I hate seeing them leave but knowing that we will be going home in a couple months makes everything a little better. 

Birthday Boy!!

This is ridiculous! When we take our children to school we expect them to be safe. For a school not to even notice that a child is missing is uncalled for. I know this probably happens a lot but maybe the school systems should do something about this! Taking head count every 30 minutes or so would probably help with this. What are the teachers doing that they did not notice a child missing for as long a he was?

If this happened to me, I would be extremely upset. And definitely remove my kids from there and into another school. These are our precious babies and the one place we thought they would be safe at they go missing from. What if someone had picked him up while he was walking home?

Trunk or Treat

This past weekend was Trunk or Treat at my husbands unit. This is such a great idea. Since the daddies/mommies won't be here for Halloween, some people volunteered to decorate the trunks of the cars and let kids go "trunk or treating". My boys had a blast and they did pretty good on candy too!
