Uneventful day!

So- Friday has been pretty uneventful. I have learned to appreciate these sort of days though. I drove Hais to school and got some paperwork that I needed signed by the Principal for the PTA. Then I ran downtown and had some coffee before hitting up H&M for a little shopping. Gosh- there was like 100 things I could have bought!! Instead I just got one thing- the cutest little dress shirt and vest for Carter for daddys welcome home. I really wanted to get snow stuff for him and some adorable hats for Hais... but they do not need them:)
I came home with the intention of going back out later but honestly- now that I am cozy in my house- do not see that happening. I have a box on post and also need to go grocery shopping. But I will probably wait until later to do that. Maybe on Tuesday...
For those that have not had to deal with deployments- you have no idea how hard the end is. You would think the end is the easiest- after all- they are almost home. Instead- it is HARD. It is like my body knows it is almost over- so it is in shutdown mode. I am tired and worn out. I am physically and emotionally drained. Then to add to the difficulties- there is no internet contact right now with Lee. His internet is shut off now. So- wishing for a phone call but I know he is crazy busy right now. We are getting close but there is a part of me wishing I could close my eyes and go to sleep! Sleep the next little while off- so I could wake up to him being home. I am super excited!!!
One big piece of news- I am officially down a pant size. That is exciting cause I have not seen big numbers of the weight loss journey- which can be a little defeating. But everyone keeps saying I must be losing inches. Well- it is official. I am down to a lower size than before I was pregnant!! Yeah! I wore a pair of skinny jeans last week to a dinner- they were the new size. But they were super stretchy- so I felt like I was cheating when I counted the size. But I had ordered a pair of trouser pants for the welcome home in the new size- they are not stretchy. When I put them on- it was amazing! They fit and comfortably!!!SOO exciting!!!
Well- on to getting some homework done while lil man is sleeping- before Hais is home!
