Aggravated

Today started good.

I woke up and I cleaned the kitchen. I did the dishes. And I started dinner in the crock pot. I was so proud of myself! We were going to have a wonderful home cooked meal.

I was on my way to Julia's house to hang out and that way I would be close to the base for when Matt is ready to be picked up. Matt called me on my way to Julia's and he said he won't be done until after dinner tonight and all week! So there goes my dinner plans.

I am depressed and so pissed off. I hate the Navy.

Well, I have a couple pet sitting jobs starting this week. I am excited to get back in the swing of things with my pet sitting job. I really enjoy it. Thursday morning through Tuesday morning i am checking in on two cats. And Saturday through the end of the month, I am checking in on a dog and a cat in the evening. It's such easy work for the money.

I also am planning to post more items to my etsy shop and get back into that. I would love to sell some of the pages that I have made. I don't know how this scrapbooking is going to take off or not. Who knows, I may end up just selling what I have and just keeping scrapbooking as a hobby of mine. That would be okay too, but I definately want to give it a good try first.

I am also thinking about starting a Passion Parties business. That would be something fun to do for a party once a week. Just to make a few more bucks. Plus we would get discounts on the products. ;-)

Another thing on my list to do, since I am bored out of my mind wating for my husband to come home and our house to be ours, is to make a new Home Management Binder. I might make more than one because I think I want a couple smaller ones rather than one huge one. I'm thinking of making a general household binder that includes cleaning, menu planning, schedules, and other things. I also want one for home decorating and organizing. Also, I have a book I bought for my budgeting. It is frustrating because I am trying to get my mind in order but I'm having a hard time because I'm in such a transitional state right now.

When I get my binder, or binders, put together I will post pictures and updates.

sitting alone at night
missing you
wish you were here
to hold onto

seeing you in my dreams
leaving me
crying out in my sleep
my heart aches

reading your emails
it just isn't the same
you're there having fun
i'm here pouting

squeeze my eyes shut
screaming "take me away!"
i wake up alone again
i hate myself today

TO WIVES LEFT BEHIND

TO OUR WIVES WHOM WE LOVE,
WHO ALWAYS GET LEFT BEHIND.
PLEASE KNOW THAT YOU ARE THOUGHT OF,
YOUR ALWAYS ON OUR MINDS.

AS WE SAIL ALONG THE OCEAN,
AND PULL INTO DIFFERENT PORTS,
THE FIRST THING WE GO HUNTING FOR,
ARE TRINKETS OF ALL SORTS.

SOMETHING TO SURPRISE YOU WITH,
ON THE AWAITED HOME COMING DAY,
TO LET YOU KNOW WE THOUGHT OF YOU,
EACH PORT ALONG THE WAY.

SOME DAYS WE BARELY GET A BREAK,
AND WE WORK UNTIL DAYS END.
BUT WHEN WE LAY IN OUR RACKS AT NIGHT,
PLEASE KNOW, OUR LOVE WE SEND.

OUR DEPLOYMENTS MAY BE LONG,
AND THE END IS HARD TO SEE,
BUT SOON DEAR NAVY WIVES OF OURS,
IN OUR ARMS YOU SOON WILL BE.
