Oh Hubs...What To Do With Thee?

So I was sitting here minding my own business when my phone rings at 6:57 this morning. It's Hubs...ya know the man who has to be at work at 7:00 every morning.

Well he was calling to inform me that he forgot to shave before he left the house in such a hurry this morning.

I laughed and said "Good for you!"

He asked me very politely to bring his razor up to him.

I say "Ok, be there in a few minutes."

Things I have to do before I can leave the house....put on clothes (that cute nightie I had on would have been a little much to show up in), find said razor, wake Little A up, load everything into car.

Wait...where's the car???????

Cussing and throwing things I pick up the phone and call Hubs to ask him what he did with my car (we only have one...but I like to think it is really mine).

He says, "Oh, I brought it this morning, I didn't feel like walking."

We live on base, so I load Little A up in her stroller and start walking, it's exactly 2.7 miles from my house to his shop....

My phone rings again at 7:08 and it is yet again Hubs asking if I'm almost there....

"No honey, it takes me longer than 6 minutes to walk almost 3 miles."

So I get to the shop at about 7:30 and he is already out on the flight line.

Lucky for me Burger was still inside so I gave him the razor and told him to go get my keys...I was taking my car home!

I am now sitting at my house with my car parked in the driveway...out of spite....and HE can walk home!

Oh, and I also get to see the fruits of my labor tomorrow....all that stuff I did for the Burger Burn Fundraiser will pay off tomorrow. The Squadron picnic is being held (it's an all day event) and as of now they have 6 Kegs and the jumpy bouncy things for the kids. And of course burgers, hot dogs, and chicken. I hope it goes over well, and people actually show up. I think the beer is a bribe really.

Pay Off's Can Be Amazing

That's right...all that hard work I put in for Hubs's squadron and you know what I get in return....enough hamburgers to eat for a month and not 1, not 2, but 3 sexy shirtless men cleaning my house!

That's right Hubs and two other friends came over to say thanks for the help. My house was military cleaned from top to bottom while I sat on the couch and sipped a glass of Blackberry Wine.

I'd say all in all helping out was worth my time!

Today is also d-day the day the in laws get here. I had a mental break down last night and told Hubs just how much I was dreading this weekend. He completely understood and gave me the keys and told me to drive as far away as I wanted. I made it to the city limits and got to tired so I came home. I told him I would sleep on it and decide what I would do today. I have decided to suck it up and go hiking (and now camping) for Little A's sake.

Speaking of Little A.............

This morning while I was trying to change her diaper before breakfast...which of course if you have read this blog at all...you know it's a nightmare....she got up and took off again. This time peeing all over my nice clean floor that was so graciously mopped for me by Burger last night. And since the child can't sit still for longer than 2 seconds, she peed all the way down the hallway.

I'm going to need to make a trip to the gym tonight and hit a punching bag for an hour or so, I think maybe I will feel MUCH better after that!

Well, it's time for last minute preparations. Hopefully everyone can make it through this weekend in one piece and I will have awesome pictures from hiking.

Burger Burns Make a Girl Tired

So, Hubs's squadron is having a picnic in 2 weeks. So they need to do fundraisers...right? RIGHT! THEY being the key word there. But it has definitely turned into a ME type of effort. Like I don't have my hands full already.

In the past 3 days I have been to Wal Mart 4 times....it's back to school time....that is the LAST place I want to be!

I got enough hamburgers, chips, plates, drinks, napkins, and buns to feed 200 people. And I spent 16 hours yesterday baking cookies...peanut butter, chocolate chip, sugar, and white chocolate macadamia nut to be exact. 600 cookies! I am flipping TIRED! But I am not done yet.....I still have to get everything for the grill to get it up there.

But I guess that's what I get for being a super awesome person who can't say no! Or maybe I'm using it as an excuse to not clean for my in laws...either way I am flat out worn out.

Do any of you help your husbands with stuff for their jobs? Or am I just completely crazy?!?!?

Dear So and So,

Dear Little A,

4:00 a.m. is not play time, it is also not time to go outside and run around like a crazy child. I hope you learn this and soon...I'm not so sure I can go through another night like last night. Mommy and Daddy love our sleep....you should too!

Needs Her Beauty Sleep,
Mama

Dear Hubs,

Thanks for trying to get Little A back to sleep...even though I know you did it for your own selfish reason. You know I can be the queen of bitchy on only 3 hours of sleep.

The Queen Bee,
Your Wife

Dear In-Laws,

I am not your personal slave. I do not do things to meet your every whim. If you want to come visit I will pretend it is all good. But call the hotel and make your own reservations with your own credit card instead of mine.

The Pissy Pants,
You DIL

Dear Brain,

Please start functioning, I have thing to do today that require you to work a little.

Still Sleeping,
The Rest Of My Body

Dear USAF Finance Department,

Thank You. Yes, you heard me....I said thank you. After 3 and a half months you have FINALLY figured everything out and we received our first "normal paycheck" today. Thank You also for admitting that your group is possibly the stupidest the Air Force has and it would be better if it went to all civilians (I'm not kidding the Chief said this). Whatever you managed to do finally worked and I am very appreciative and will now stop calling and harassing you.

I Got My Money,
The Dependant

Pillow Thieves and Bed Hogs

So last night as Hubs and I were going to bed we had one of those arguments that you spend the entire fight laughing your ass off.

We have a huge king size bed...I'm a whopping 5'3" and 102 lbs. Hubs is 6'4" and 175 lbs. So, this king size bed should EASILY hold us both at night. It doesn't to say the least....I wake up every morning hanging on to the bed for dear life so I don't fall and die. Hubs is sound asleep on MY SIDE OF THE BED! (And it doesn't matter if we switch sides of the bed he still ends up on my side.) And last night we figured out why this is....

Pillows...I'm a HUGE fan of these wonderful things. I sleep with 4 a night, leaving Hubs with 2. Well, apparently I like these pillows so much that I also take his while we are sleeping. Right out from under his head. I don't remember doing this, I think he is full of it.

Turns out he is not. I woke up at 4:30 this morning with 6 pillows and him on my side of the bed. All the poor man wants is somewhere nice and soft to lay his head. And here I am for the last 4 years blaming him for taking up to much room!

Looks like we will have to super glue pillows to his side of the bed so I can't steal them and maybe he will stay put just for one night!

Annual Base Picnics and a date all in one weekend!

Friday we had the Annual Base Picnic and had a blast. Not only because we won a few things from the raffle, but because Hubs didn't have to go to work and we got to spend the day as a family at the park! That NEVER happens!!

Aside from that one of Hubs's friends wanted to come over and watch the UFC fight on Pay Per View on Saturday and offered to watch Little A while we went on a date. Now, Hubs and I haven't been on a date with no baby or other people tagging along for at least a year. Part of that is because I am overly picky about who I let watch Little A and it doesn't even include most of our family. Oh well, I GOT A DATE WITH HUBS! We went and had sushi and steak and then went to see The Proposal!

And Hubs and I had a heart to heart about another baby while on our date. We have both decided we are ready....we are going to start trying for another one! We both also agree that after 2 we will be done though.

Well, I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, it's time for a crappy Monday and a long rest of the week.

Where did my weekend go??

Our entire weekend was spent volunteering. And partying it up. Well, kind of....

Hubs does AADD (Airman Against Drunk Driving) every weekend and it has been pretty peaceful until this weekend.

Really Airman, REALLY? 4 of you in one night all at different bars all between the hours of 3 a.m and 4 a.m. I am super glad you called the hot line to get a ride, but excuse me hot line....there were like 5 other people on that list you could have called.

Saturday we did Meals on Wheels with a few other people from Hubs's shop. After that we all decided it would be fun to have a BBQ with the entire shop (or whoever showed up). So in the matter of 3 hours we picked a house, got all the food, called and invited everyone, and started prepping for the evening.

The BBQ was held at Hubs's closest friends house (he just closed on it a week ago) so we decided to help him get everything ready. Oh...and this friend will from here on out be referred to as Burger because that is what Little A insists his name is.

So, Burger, Hubs, and I got what we thought would be enough for the people we assumed would be coming. 45 people showed up!!!! We have never had that many people at a BBQ! It was so much fun!! Little A got to play with the puppy and all the other kids that were there. And the teenagers who showed up all watched the little ones. I got a break from being mommy for a few hours and got to enjoy adult conversation!

By the time we were done, the teens had made a HUGE tent and filled it with blankets they took out of Burger's closet and all the kids were asleep. They fell asleep watching Beauty and the Beast. It was the most peaceful moment any of us had seen! How THEY got our kids to fall asleep we will never know....but I think I'm going to bring one home with me next time.

Sunday, we went and helped out with Habitat for Humanity for about 6 hours. And then had some serious grocery shopping to do.

And somewhere in all that I found time to apply for MyCAA and get approved and get my FA set up and I am going back to school! I am going for Medical Transcription and can do it all from home, online.

So again I ask, where did my weekend go? I thought I was supposed to get to relax at least 1 day!

How was ya'lls weekend?!?!?

Becoming A Pretty Little Housewife.

I am not what anyone would call a wonderful housewife. I try, really I do, but sometimes I just fall short. Like, dishes...those things SUCK! I believe that the dishwasher should be able to take everything off the plates and bowls.


But something I have gotten better at is baking. I love love love cupcakes. They are by far the most amazing things in the world. So last night I decided it was time to learn how to makes homemade cupcakes. I did it! I made homemade peanut butter cupcakes and they are to die for delicious!! Hubs fell in love. But sadly Little A doesn't even get to try them....no peanut butter for her. But here are is my mater piece.

They are nothing fancy, and you can top it with what ever you like (I of course picked milk chocolate).

I am trying to learn to cook "real" food, but Hubs is a super picky eater. If it looks like a veggie you can forget it. Luckily Little A would rather eat her veggies and fruit than anything else (as long as she gets a waffle for breakfast). And needless to day Hubs's bad eating habits are making my 30 DAY SHRED a bigger pain in my ass than it already is!

Oh, and yesterday we found out that Hubs's family is coming out for a visit next month. Ask me later and I will let you know how I feel about this I can't wait to see them and entertain them for a full 7 days! I will keep you updated on what type of crazy activities I plan for there trip here. Oh, and did I mention Hubs can't take leave then and will be on 7 12's that week. I could kill him He works so hard! Oh well, I will get through this just like I get through everything else!

I'm so behind!

On movies that is! I don't get out much. Little A keeps mine and Hubs hands tied so we live off of Netflix and the base library movie. Last night I got around to watching "He's Just Not That Into You" and I for whatever reason adored it! Maybe it's because I have a secret crush on Justin Long (what can I say I love skinny guys) but I could seriously watch that movie every night!! And the good news...Hubs didn't absolutely hate it like he hates almost every other chick flick known to man kind.

Oh, and after being in this house for 2 months I finally got the last 2 boxes unpacked. It is sad, I know but Hubs has been slacking on his "Get This Shit Done" list. I needed the book shelf put together. My thoughts...Hubs is a mechanic, putting together a bookshelf will take 5 minutes. I was wrong. Without a TO this crap was nearly impossible!! 2 hours later my bookshelf is together and everything is put up! I finally feel like I have a real house!

And I did my first day of the 30 DAY SHRED yesterday and I would like to say these words in the nicest way possible. Jillian Michaels, I hate you, I hurt, and you made me feel weak! Screw you! That was a nice as I could put it. I am going to make Hubs do it with me this evening so he can see why I'm walking funny.
