Interruptions

Yesterday was a long day.  I was just plain restless.  I had everything set up on my computer, countdown clock, e-mail, flight status for both of his flights all set to go.  The kids were napping and I had just finished my last post, I went to put my laptop back on the counter and somehow missed it and dropped it!!  I quickly turned in back on to see what the damage was, the screen came up all white with cracked lines all over it!  I was so upset, I just closed it up and couldn't even think about it.  But thanks goodness it didn't happen last week or before while N was gone, I really wouldn't have been able to handle it!!  But anyway, I have been able to hook it up to an old monitor so at least I am able to work on it.  So N and I are looking at the options.  We may just turn it into a desktop and get me a new laptop, or to go ahead and spring for a new screen.  But that will be almost as much as a whole new laptop, so we'll see.  It sucks!  I am so mad, why oh why didn't I get the extended service package!!!???

But enough about that....N's flight got in early last night.  I was lucky I was at the airport in time.  :)  There were a few guys from his squadron there to greet him.  It was so wonderful to see him!  :)  We got all his stuff and headed home.  The kids were completely asleep, but N got to tuck them in.  It was sweet.  N started to unpack a little, he brought back some beautiful sea glass jewelery!  It didn't take too long for him to get sidetracked from the unpacking and on to the "other business" of the evening.  It was after all reunion night.  ;)  But we kept getting interrupted!  First the friendly neighborhood cat came around to rile up our cats, so we had to go close all the blinds or else they would fight all night.  Then we set off the fire alarms in the whole house (they are all connected) with the candles in our room!  (Scary that the kids never even flinched or woke up!)  We couldn't figure out why they were going off for a while, then they stopped and started again in a few minutes.  It was funny!!!

This morning was cute.  K came in our room just after 7 to tell me that the TV wasn't on her channel.  "Mommy, my tv isn't set...... (pause, looks over at the lump on the other side of the bed), Mommy, my tv (pause, looks again).  Mommy!!!!  I see daddy!!"  I said, "Well go get him honey!"  She ran over to the other side of the bed and jumped up to him.  :)  It was very cute!!  About 10 minutes later M woke up, and K went into him room (we turned up the monitor to listen in on the conversation).  "M, Daddy's home, come look!  He's in Mommy's room, Your daddy's back.  Come on!!"  Too cute!!!  The kids have been playing all day with him.

It's been a great day.  He will be home tomorrow, then at work for a half day on Tuesday for in-processing, then start his two week vacation.  It will be great to have him home full time for a while.  :)
