Trip for two

Alan and I leave tomorrow for Tampa to get some things done and spend some time together as well....woohoo. Meemaw has been here since Sunday so things have been a little crazy although sleeping in has been nice. Anyway, not much to write about. 4 weeks left in the Army pretty much. It doesn't seem like we have been here 2 years and soon Alan will be a career man...told him I might miss the uniform a little so keep one for me;)

Back to "Mommy"

As I have learned in my new role as a mom, nothing is ever dull. I got back from Florida on Monday after having a blast(will post a couple pics after my yacking). Alan and I went to dinner and then came home. Reis had been running a fever earlier that day and by the time we got home, he felt really hot. Well, being a new mother, I took his temp from his armpit and it was 103.8 and I freaked the you know what out. We immediately took him to the hospital and waited with about 20 other people....typical. When they finally called us back, they took his temp from his butt and it was 102. I knew I should have done that at home, but did not think about it during my freak out episode. They said it could be an upper respiratory infection or teething. He and Alan went to Colorado while I was in Florida so it could have been the millions of germs he was exposed to also. Anyway, he still has a temp and is not on his normal sleeping schedule but he appears better. Note to self...take temp from butt as I did this morning.

I had so much fun at the wedding and seeing all my best gals. Sarah looked beautiful as ever and we had a lot of fun. I enjoyed so much hanging out with my family and just being able to "be."

All by my lonesome

Alan is in DC at the Armed Forces Foundation Dinner which is an organization that helps out injured soldiers and soldiers in general. Supposedly, Ron White from the Blue Collar Comedy Tour is going to be there. I decided not to go because it doesn't start until 7 and won't be over until 10 or 11, and I can't exactly put Reis to bed during a dinner. I went last year and trekked my fat, pregnant butt all the way to DC so I am just hanging out with the baby and having a glass of wine. I thought it might be nice to hang by myself but I am a little bored. Is it 8 yet so I can get my Big Brother fix? One week until Florida and I am sooooo ready...need to see my momma and ladies. Well, just thought I would post my boredom....little man is screaming for a bottle so I shall go....duty calls!
