Waking Up To Snookums

Today was a less than exciting day, but it was good none
the less. It was so wonderful waking up to Snookums' warm
body this morning, instead of the channel 4 news. We got
up at 5am, while Snookie got ready for work, I made him
breakfast. Scrambled eggs with colby jack cheese and lump
crab meat, 9 grain toast with Smart Balance spread and
Smucker's strawberry preserves. I don't think he realized
I snuck "health food" in on him. He'll be getting more of
it, too. He packed on at least 5 pounds while he was gone.
I love him just the way he is, but it's no secret that I'm
the reason why he stays within military standards. I just
consider it one of the many facets of my job as wife and
mother.

I dropped the girls' off as usual and since Snookie only
had to work a half day today. I packed as much into my
morning as possible. I made Kiki's 12 month well-baby
checkup (Friday at 8:15am). I hit the gym. Stopped by the
Exchange for a new sunglass case, socks and a yellow
homework folder for Annie. Then I did my "Snookums is
home" grocery shopping. The trip I have to make for the
things the girls' and I don't eat while he's gone
(tortilla chips, cheez whiz, ketchup, various types of
cheeses. Anything and everything I strive to avoid, pretty
much). I put gas in the car, touched up the cleaning job I
did on it this past weekend, put the groceries away,
showered and dressed in time to greet Snookums at the
door. He likes that :)

In the mail today, there was a coupon for lunch at
Sizzler. $7.99 for an 8 oz steak and unlimited salad bar.
Snookie and I decided to do that, instead of going out to
dinner. Even though Sizzler isn't the epitomy of healthy
eating, I still did okay because I didn't have breakfast
and I'm not having dinner, so from what I calculated at
calorieking.com, I'm still way under my requirements. I've
been trying to enjoy myself, but still keep my goals in
mind. So, when I step on that scale, I can feel good about
myself. So far it's working.

After Sizzler, we stopped by Costco. Amazingly enough, we
actually didn't go there to buy anything! Last week we got
new Costco American Express cards and we had to stop by to
have our pictures taken. The card doubles as a Costco
membership card and a credit card with some really great
cash back bonus awards. 3% for gas, 2% at Costco, 1% for
everything else. I probably won't be using it very much (I
don't much like credit cards), but if I do, it's nice
knowing I'll be getting a few bucks back :)

I'm pretty sleepy. I think I'll go put jammies on and
relax a bit. I have to work tomorrow. I'm sure it'll go by
fast, but It's going to be hard working when I know
Snookie is sitting at home waiting for me :( It's okay
though. Just one more day and then I'll have Friday,
Saturday, Sunday AND Monday to spend with him :) It's good
having him home. Even if it's only temporary. Ciao.
