Day 9: Busy, Busy, Busy!

Goodness, today was a long one, late night, early morning and STUFFED full of activities! I feel quite accomplished and think my wonderful husband would be quite proud of me. Took a little doing to get me on my feet this morning, bright and early, but thanks to my Via, I was able to actually keep my eyes open long enough to make a full breakfast and that gave me scores of energy. Today I made the first real meals we've had since Jayson left. We had scramble eggs and toast and jelly with chocolate milk, and it was delicious. Got three loads of laundry done, folded, and put away. Cleaned the living room and vacuumed. Peanut butter and banana sandwiches for lunch with carrot sticks. Then off to run errands. I picked up the RV lot key, went and got a temporary pass for the jeep, and went to the commissary for a few essentials (you know, milk, bananas, ice cream...). AND because Annabelle was distraught over the state of our current pumpkins (they've gone soft, black and fuzzy, and just kind of droopy...) we got a new pumpkin to carve with Daddy in mind. Picked up the mail on the way back home, took the groceries in and went to the park. After some awesome slide time, we went back home to carve our pumpkin. I put dinner on the stove and we started de-goopifying the pumpkin. Finished the pumpkin, it turned out GREAT, and dinner was ready! We had "Daddy-style" pasta again with corn and Annabelle ate really well and didn't throw anything on the floor, it was awesome. Banana milkshakes were the perfect ending to a great day. We didn't hear from Jayson today so that was a bummer but we're still riding the wave of joy from our skype video chat yesterday. Anyway, tomorrow promises to be pretty busy as well so I'm going to bed to try and catch up on some Zzzs. Goodnight everyone. Until tomorrow my love, Jayson, love you and miss you like a turkey misses it's legs at Thanksgiving. Kisses and hugs from me and the girls!!!
