Today was a rough day. The reality of Josh being that far away hit me hard and Zoe decided to hardly sleep at all all day and wanted to eat every 1-2 hours. I think she is going through a growth spurt, but that makes getting anything done extremely hard. I think this whole daddy being gone thing has hit Emily today as well. She kept mentioning him and saying she wanted him to come home and that she missed him. She isn't quite old enough to understand how long he is going to be gone. I think that is why I need to really get this deployment kisses jar done. I think it will help her understand how long he is going to be gone for.
But both girls are now down for the night and I am staring at a whole counter full of dishes. I hate doing dishes with a passion!! I don't have a dishwasher where I am living and it is killing me! Come the begining of November I am going to go buy a countertop portable dishwasher because I really, really, REALLY don't want to wash dishes by hand for a year. I am thinking maybe I should stay up and do them so that I don't have to do them tomorrow and take time away from my girls. I know it is going to take me a while to do them. I think that is one reason I hate doing them so much is it takes so much time. I would have to stand by the sink forever and I couldn't spend it playing with Emily and Zoe.
Speaking of playing, Emily and I played Candy Land today. She was tired so she wasn't as focused as she usually is but she loved it. She kept saying that daddy was the blue one and that we had to save that one for him. And then we played princess dominoes and she is actually really good at it. ;) Played with Zoe during tummy time while Emily made us some soup in her princess outfit. It now has become soup that she makes because we watched The Princess and the Frog today. And she loved it of course! She is a princess fanatic!
How does David Blaine do all his magic!?!? I am watching it while writing this and he just did a trick to the camera for the "home audience" and I picked a card and he got it right!! How can he do that if this was taped??? He amazes me!
Okay I am going to do some dishes until the hot water runs out because I know it will before I am done. Hope everyone else had a great day!
Does anyone have any ideas on how to let Emily in on how long and far away daddy is? Or do you think I should just leave it at that he is at work?
P.S. I love you babe! Glad you got there safe and I hope that you got some rest and I will talk to you soon. <3 Emily says she loves you too.
