So day two was pretty uneventful, and I am very much okay with that! The girls and I stayed home and actually did things on the "To Do" list! Now the house is clean, except the girls room, that only lasted about 5 minutes. But it was clean at some point today! And that is what counts! I guess Hans- who is usually an intelligent dog- getting his head stuck in the rat's ball was exciting. It was at least funny. The girls were cracking up! Poor Hans, it took awhile to get it off. :)
I got to talk to Brian again this evening! A little bit earlier then last night, but for only ten minutes again. He is still doing well! He said it was actually easier today then it was yesterday. Which makes me worry that it is the calm before the storm! They started a couple classes today, did a few drills, had people come talk to them. He is still happy with his- really mine- decision to take his boots in to have them stripped and shined back to black. It has made it easier to shine them, but according to the boot shining seminar, he needs to be most worried about the toes being super shiny. I asked him how his speed eating is going, and he said that he just makes sure he is not at the back of the line. He just can't be the last one eating. You do not want to be last at anything. He said he has only been yelled at in a general manner, but not directly. So that is something. Overall, he sounded like he was still excited. He got their schedule for the week and it looks like he will not get tomorrow night off. :( He said he is still hopeful that he will be able to call. We will have to wait and see.
He did asked how the girls and I were doing. Whether or not the girls were driving me crazy. I informed him that we were doing great. I told him about how many messages I have received in the last two days. How blessed I feel and how God has really answered our prayers. So even if the girls are driving me crazy- which they totally are- it does not matter. I still got this, and if I don't, I know I have help. So that is what I told him. Shoot, no one has taken the laundry basket for a ride down the stairs yet! :) Again, I am very grateful for all the support!
There was a couple times today when one of the girls would talk about
missing Daddy. Especially this evening. "A" cried a little. "M" kept asking if Daddy was coming
home to eat dinner. "H" just said, " I miss Daddy," then she was on to something else. I didn't tell Brian about these things. I also didn't tell him about the biting and screaming that happened today. Have I mentioned how excited I am about school starting next Wednesday? :)
When things are getting a little stressful, I have "A" say the Bible verse she learned during AIS Soccer camp. I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. (Psalm 121:1-2 ESV) For some odd reason this helps. ;) She also learned Joshua 1:9, also very great! I am extremely grateful to the people who do the AIS soccer camp. "A" had a great time and on the last night she came and told me she had decided to ask Jesus into her heart. She asked me how and she did it! It was a great moment! I know she is young, but she knew what she was doing. She was so happy after! When she left the room I cried like a baby! The only thing is: I would have liked to be somewhere other than the potty. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers. :)
Well, I think I rambled on long enough. Time to get to bed. :)
Blessings,
~Cara
