Well, as you all know, I was HORRIBLE at updating the blog once the MAN of the house got home. Im sorry, really I am! But by all this blogging im doing now, im sure you've come to conclude that yes, in fact the MAN is gone again. No, he hasn't deployed. Yet. But he is off training his behind away up at Camp Shelby for the lucky number of 18 days (give or take a few. gotta love the military!)
I dont want you all to think that when he is away, all I do is sit at the computer. However, it is the only way i have contact with him (which is VERY important for me, as well as the kids). I dont know what it is about my personality, or those of my fellow military wife/friends, but honestly the routine doesn't ever really change. When the boys are home yes, I cook more food, I wash more laundry, and I have more interactions with people in my daily routine. Both with the hubby himself and several, sometimes MORE than several friends at a time. I do however spend less time on or even near the computer because i tend to be the 'hostess of choice'. Im no chef, im no cook, but booooy do i love to entertain. Our motto in the Bane home is, you bring it, we will cook it! And people always know if necessarry, the house is open to a crash station. Making a long story short, we spent a LOT of time washing sheets and blankets this summer! I had a HOUSEFUL of Seabees-weekly! The routine may not change but the number of people involved in the routine certainly do.
Once the people started to subside, and the boys (and girls ahem) started getting used to the new crew and family of the Fearless 74 (Nathan is in battallion 74 btw) the training and classes took off~ Leading us to today. Nathan has had several new classes and several more repeat classes but needless to say he has been busy these past few weeks. And now. FTX. AKA- Field Training Exercise. 18 days of training to him, 18 days of 'extra' deployment to me! Especially since this little 'hostess of choice' was kind enough to say, SURE id LOVE to watch your 2 1/2 yr. old Beagle for the ENTIRE FTX. Luckily, she is the worlds calmest, laziest and most LOVING puppy EVER! Great with the kids, lets me know when she has to potty (btw her name is Lily) and even sleeps at the foot of the bed and keeps my sweet lil tootsie's nice and warm! lol UNFORTUNATELY...when her happy little owner comes to brisk her away, he may not hear an answer to his knock. Im trying hardly not to fall in love with her, but boy let me tell you it is hard!
Good night friends and family!
The Bane Family
