It has been a week without Michael and I feel already done with this whole single parent thing. It actually feels like hes deployed again and i have a year of this. The only difference is the kids are older and they can talk back now.
Michael and I have really only talked about 3 times which all three combined calls have totaled 10 mins. He doesn't have signal out there in the "California sandbox", so we've used his friends phone. I feel like i do better when i don't actually hear his voice. It makes it easier on me some how.
The kids are doing fine too. Maddy of coursed had a hard three days in the beginning but shes is just fine now. Payton the other night had said the cutest thing. It was his turn to say grace and he had started off like all the other times but then he said "dear heavenly father, I ask you to help my daddy come home faster. I know hes teaching the boys how to fight, but i need him home to help my with my psp game. He's the best player and i really need his help. Please please make sure he doesn't get hurt cause I need him to be the best daddy and help me win. Amen". I said Amen but Maddy had just started to eat and he yells at her "if you don't say Amen then god wont hear us and he wont make sure daddy is safe. You have to say Amen". Maddy yells "Amen, Amen, Amen. There Payton I said it three times so he will hear us". It was so cute to hear them talk like that.
I do have to say that the house stays much cleaner and I don't know if its cause I have nothing else to do but clean or if its because I don't have a man taking all my attention and me not really wanting to clean when hes around. Whatever the reason is I love it!!!!!!!!
