I've mentioned a few posts back that Rico's sched is kinda wacky right now. He works 12 hours from 6PM to 6AM three days a week then he'll be off for two days then work two more days then off three days. So this weekend he is working. He is suppose to be home today a little early because we're going to go watch Disney on Ice tomorrow. So it does not feel like a weekend to us because he is working and we're stuck in the house as always. UrgH!. At least we'll go out for a little bit tomorrow then he'll be off to work again. On monday he will be sleeping in, gunshot in the evening so one off day wasted once more. Then Wednesday of course they'll be on the ocean once more till take this after Valentine's Day. Yup so Valentine's Day will be spent with the girls. Oh well I just need to ramble about this but I'm used to it. Being a military wife you get used to it or you'll make yourself crazy hehe.
Scrapping news...
I have gotten myself so many duties that I think I'm going to burn myself up one of these days haha. Thank God I'm a fast scrapper. I have about five layouts that are almost done. They needed either a title or journaling then it'll be off to the gallery. I have so many goodies that I can't help but scrap. I just need pictures to scrap hehehe. But the girls have been so cooperative they'll even pose for me for no apparent reason and tell me to take a photo of them. I tell you they are as addicted to pictures as their mommy lol.
Mommy News...
Their bdays are coming. Jelynn is turning 5 next month and Jewelle will be 3 on April. They are getting smarter and smarter for their mommy. I asked Jelynn what she wanted for her bday. Guess what she said a vacation to Hawaii. Ek! Yep she wanted to go to Hawaii she said because she wants to swim in the ocean. I told her we have lots of ocean here in San Diego but no she wants Hawaii lol. I guess I need to save money for that gift. Maybe next time I will tell her to tell her dad that she wants to go to Europe hahaha. We'll be moving to San Francisco in a couple of months because Rico's deploying so Jelynn will be going to school there for the meantime. Of course if they are spoiled now they will become more spoiled because of their grandparents. They get away with almost everything with my dad. Jewelle, my little miss Independent. Yep she wants to do everything her own way. So irritating sometimes. I put on her pants she takes it off because SHE was suppose to be the one who will get from the drawer. Then pretends to go get it then gives it back to me and then I have to count 1, 2, 3 Jump so she'll wear it. lol And she wants mommy to change her diaper, to get her milk, get her food, read her a book,etc. And when I tell her to ask Daddy, nope she said only mommy. Yep a mommy's girl in the making. Poor Rico, the girls are just too close to me that they usually don't ask him to do anything with them lol. I think because he is always away that's why. Because when he was here with us all the time Jewelle was a Daddy's girl. Well not anymore. I think that's why he wants a son. We've talked about having another baby. Because even if he doesn't tell me I know he wants a son. We decided that we'll have the baby next year heheh. I know this is going to be the first time we're going to plan lol. The two girls were unexpected but very much welcomed. Hopefully I don't get pregnant anytime soon but I do please make it a December baby lol.
