A Normal Sunday Vegetation

Today was Snookums' last day at home with the family
before he does his pretend deployment next week. We just
spent it sitting around the house doing nothing. I read
the book I've been trying to read for the last 3 weeks (a
page here, a page there) and Snookie watched football.
Even though I hate football, it was nice having a normal
Sunday vegetation before things get thrown out of whack
next week and the week after.

Snookums said he might get to come home Wednesday or
Thursday evening and he'll be home next Friday night for
sure. So, I will get to see him at some point over the
next 2 weeks. I'm thinking it might be easier on me if he
just stayed gone. I know that sounds bad, but you'd
understand if you had to deal with the one you love coming
and going all the time. I sometimes wonder if it would be
easier for the family to accept him being gone for 6
months and home for 6 months, over this popping in and out
thing. At least then we'd know what to expect. Right now,
I don't know when he'll be home and when he'll be gone.
Annie is taking this particular deployment harder than the
last. I'm not sure why. Kiki is blissfully oblivious to
anything, at least for now.

I wish I had something I could occupy myself with while
Snookums is gone, but I can't think of anything to immerse
myself in. Annie has a couple of school functions I'm
planning to attend; a multi-cultural pot luck (I'm going
to make German chocolate cake, I think. I'm not sure yet)
and a Santa sing-a-long (not looking forward to that, but
it's something to do). Since Gen's husband is gone right
now, I'm sure we'll spend time together, too. The rest of
the time I'll just work out and watch tv. The only
difference with Snookums being gone as oppose to him being
here is: I won't be having sex and I won't have anyone to
talk to after 7pm (the girls are asleep). Wow, my life
sounds like it's about to get pathetic. Well, Ciao until
tomorrow.
