619

****

I stayed up until 5am this morning. I don't know why. I
just couldn't sleep. I paced around the house, checked on
the kids a million times, watched hours of mind-numbing
infomercials, until finally I thought my brain was going
to die. By then, I was so tired, I couldn't fall asleep. I
was about to give up when sleep finally descended upon me.
Then I got rudely awakened by a hungry Kiki at 9am. So,
I've spent most of my day in a sleep-deprived stupor. Will
I go to bed early tonight? No. It's already after
midnight. But, I definitely won't be staying up until 5am.

Snookums called tonight :) One of the unfortunate side
effects of being a military wife is that you're
inseparable from the phone. It goes everywhere with you.
Maybe to places most people wouldn't take their phone. To
the bathroom, in the shower. A deciding factor on what to
wear is whether or not it has pockets for the phone. It's
sad, but when it rings and I see a 619 area code I know
it's Snookums and I get that giddy little light-hearted
feeling in my stomach. E-mails are nice, but hearing his
voice is so much better. One of my favorite quotes is:

"They say you only fall in love once, but that's not true.
I fall in love all over again everytime I hear his voice".

I don't know who wrote it or where I read it, but it
speaks to me. As time goes by I fall more and more in love
with Snookums. We've been through so many trials in such a
short 6 years. They've tested our relationship, but we've
always overcome. We're meant to be together. I truly
believe that. Now if only the Navy would see it my way and
let us be together... On the same continent would be nice.

One of the best things I could have done was put a gym in
the house. It's so easy getting a little workout in here
and there. Instead of spending half my life in the gym. I
love working out, but dragging the kids to the gym, using
up the gas and time, just aren't my idea of fun. Even with
the cost of gas going down, I still don't see the point in
burning more if I don't have to. I'm doing my part for my
butt and the environment :)

I had a little chocolate craving tonight. I firmly believe
that you should NEVER deny yourself something if you have
a taste for it (it will only lead to feelings of
deprivation and maybe even a binge). So, I broke out the
Halloween candy and helped myself to a mini Twix and a
mini Butterfinger. Now I'm good. There used to be a time
when that bag of chocolate would have been done for. My
how times have changed... For the better! Ciao.
