Random things

We're back on for DC! Dan will be working for the Inspector General in the Naval Annex by the Pentagon. So, we'll still be going to Washington DC and the report Date is mid-June. So, only the boss part is different now. Dan is pleased. I was actually hoping to go somewhere that we could live on base. I know, big picture! Once we get settled, I'm sure I will love it. Its just the hassle of moving, getting a home and getting settled. But.... we'll be near a Temple and a major airport (or 2!), plus we'll be close to just about everything possible! So that is exciting.

Its been a rough week for me. The wait and see thing was hard, and we had Dan's car in the shop till Tuesday, and Joshua is home for Spring Break, and it just seemed like things kept going wrong. You know how you try to have a positive attitude, and little dumb things keep happening to create negativity? That was my week. Lots of dumb things, like I forgot something important at Walmart and had to take all 4 children there again, and preschool had the water shut off so I had to get the girls early instead of going to the commissary, and we went to pick up Dan's car, but they hadn't finished with it, and we had to wait till the next day... Of course, there was also a big lack of communication issue with our YW organization that led to some very angry feelings (in me), and to some very angry words (from me), and a great deal of frustration. And I thought, is it me? Did I really miss something? But then my very sweet husband looked at all the information I had and said nope. The facts were not presented and with the information I had, I had every right to feel as I did. What a great guy!

Allergy season is in full swing here. Yellow pollen dust is covering everything. I got my bike out tonight, and after being on the screened in porch for 3 days, it had a layer of yellow all over it! Ick! By the time we went in after exercising, I was rubbing my eyes so much Dan freaked out at how red and bloodshot they were. I hate allergies.

Oh, and Marian's birthday is tomorrow. I mean, her birthday was yesterday, and her party is tomorrow. It should be interesting. I perhaps should not have let her have so much planning input. We're having an Easter/Bug Party. She wanted a bug cake, but Easter activities. I made the cake today and it is really cute. I have all the activities ready and I reeeealy hope they last for more than 10 minutes! We have like 200 eggs for an egg hunt as well. This is Marian's very first party and only my second one for the kids. You may recall that Joshua had a Captain Underpants Party for his birthday. At least that had a workable theme!
