Good times, where did you go?

If it's not one thing it's another. My grandmother died about a month and a half ago, then hubby had to leave to go back to Afghanistan, then my stupid 14 year old niece got caught drinking at school and is suspended for 5 days and will spend the rest of the year at the "bad" kids school, and then my granddad died last night. With my granddad's death it feels like I'm losing a lot more. They lived in the country out on their farm. This is where I learned to shoot a gun, would practice pitching and hitting in their old pole barn, had family get to togethers, and some of my last memories of my brother were there on the farm. No one in the family wants to keep the farm or the house so it's being sold. If we knew this is where we would live we could buy the house and do the renovations needed but who knows where the army could send us.

I'm Back...

I thought after my husband left I'd be right back into the swing of things in bloggy land, however, my husband managed to get numerous viruses on my computer. It's finally been fixed and I've informed him he's only allowed to use his computer when he comes home! This is the third time after all!

I know I promised pictures too...well I cannot for the life of me find the cables to upload my pictures. I haven't really gotten a chance to look either. With all the bad weather we've been having I've been living at my parent's house. That way I can ride to work with my mom. The weather is looking better and I've moved back home finally so I should have the pictures up soon. I would say tonight but practice has officially begun so I won't get home until 9:00, just in time to watch Castle. So maybe during commercials if the cable can be located.

But I'll leave you with a question. Has facebook or myspace or any other social networking affected your relationship? Or thoughts on these networks???

Getting Excited

Hubby will be home in less than 48 hours!!! I cannot believe it's already that time. I didn't get anything done today in preparing for his arrival except for buying a new camera battery charger. I ended up sleeping til 10 this morning because I spent 3 hours emailing with hubby during the night. I got my long run in for the week...5 miles with 2 enormous hills! Watched the UK game...way to stay undefeated! Then spent 5 hours at the hospital. My granddad just doesn't want to live without my grandma. He's stopped eating and won't hardly get out of bed. He passed out today (the 2nd time this week) and started having something similar to seizures. I can completely understand him not wanting to live, he'll be 94 in a month and they were married for 71 years.

Busy day tomorrow! I might be MIA for the next 2 weeks :)

Failed

When that alarm went off at 5:15 this morning I could not drag myself out of bed to hit the treadmill. I wish I was back in college when 6 AM workouts were mandatory. Or if my running buddies actually lived near me instead of 2.5+ hours away. I know if I had to meet someone at a certain time to get my workout in I'd get up. I just like my sleep too much to get up on my own. So it looks like I'll be hitting the treadmill as soon as I get off.

I can't believe it's been 12 days since I've heard from hubby. The days are flying by! He could be home this time next week!!! With everything that's been going on with my grandma the house is a wreck...it's going to be a busy weekend with getting everything in order for his arrival plus I have to squeeze in a few hours of work.

I need some advice...I can't decide if I want anyone to go with me to pick up my hubby from the airport. Part of me wants him all to myself those first few hours, but then the other part of me who loves pictures wants someone there to take pictures those first few minutes (you all know what cute pictures come from those moments). What should I do????

Unmotivated

I feel so run down after these past two days of being on my feet, hugging every single person that came to the funeral home, making small talk, being on kid duty, etc. I wish I didn't have to go back to work tomorrow but I'll get some time off next week when hubby gets home! On my agenda tonight was a 3 mile run, but I was feeling so unmotivated. I managed to get a good 15 minute run in though and I felt really good. I wish I would've continued and pumped out the 3 miles but I had to get back upstairs and watch the 2nd half of the UK game (let's hope they stay undefeated). Speaking of UK Basketball...I got hubby and I tickets!!! Now let's just pray nothing changes with when he's suppose to leave Afghanistan and that he makes it here on time to go! I'll be so disappointed if it doesn't work out after everything I've gone through to find us tickets.

I'm going to try to turn over a new leaf tomorrow by getting my run done before work. I've got the alarm set and plan on passing out as soon as the game is over...Go Cats!!!

1 more week!

My hubby will be on his way home in a week! I'm so excited but so nervous at the same time...I'm just so worried that it's going to be awkward. I'm sure it will at first but then hopefully we'll jump right back into the swing of things. I'm working on trying to surprise him with UK basketball tickets one of the weekends he's home and Breaking Benjamin tickets the next weekend with his sister and her fiance.

Got a great workout in this morning...five miles! My right calf bothered me the entire time and it was swollen afterwards. It better not start acting up! I've got goals to reach and I don't want to get too far behind in my first month.

Got two long days ahead of me with the viewing and the funeral...and tomorrow is my dad's birthday...wish it could be a happier one.

The fight is over

My grandma's fight is finally over...no more suffering for her. She is now pain free watching over us with my brother.
