Busy Bee

I haven't written in awhile, but to say I have been busy would be an understatement. BUT the end is in sight. This weekend is almost over and soon this week will be almost over and then MAYBE Brad, Emma and Tyler and I will get to spend some time together. It is just that Brad has been gone a lot and when he has been home we have spent that time running around all over....The last few weekends that he has been off have included...An Astros game w/ the kids, a Rangers game and weekend in Dallas w/ Brad's cousin, a weekend in Yoakum for my brother's graduation plus Tyler's birthday party and most recently a trip to San Antonio that included about 12 hours at Sea World and then a trip to the zoo. In between all of this Brad has had 4-5 day trips to Alvarado and a 5 day trip to Pearland for school and this weekend was spent all over the place...first a trip to Yoakum to drop off Tyler and Emma, then in the SAME day a trip to Austin then the next day spent dress shopping in Austin for my sis-in-law's wedding dress..then back to Yoakum for her bridal shower then to College Station w/ Brad's whole family (plus the delivery of new furniture thrown in there SOMEWHERE). Now this week Brad is gone again and I'm so bummed...It could be worse I know...he could be stationed in Iraq for 15 months (which I could NEVER handle by the way) but I am feeling a little sorry for myself...if you couldn't tell. But on the other hand...the kids are doing good. Tyler is talking up a storm and it just seems like he gets smarter EVERYDAY! Emma is still my little drama queen. She is such a comedian without even trying. She says the funniest things. Today she decided she wanted to go to Zimbabwe (don't think I spelt that right)...within an hour it had turned into Zimbablin....So we went to the mall...which she now thinks is Zimbablin....
