I'm a little MIA these days. Naturally, Jonny has been away, because when is he really here? (Does that sound bitter? I might be a little bit bitter.)And now he is home but works crazy hours and we are lucky to see him for a few minutes each day. I am proud of him and his hard work! The kids have been having a really hard time though. I can tell they just never know if he is going to be here or gone and they cry for him a lot and that breaks my heart.
So in addition to managing the household and the munchkins I am trying to pack up for our big move which is just about 8 days away. By myself. Our last couple of moves were completely handled by a moving company and I am thinking that is definitely the way to go! However, since this one is just across town we are doing it ourselves. It kind of pains me to think of how many piddling little loads I've driven across town to my parent's house. Certainly not the most efficient, but it's what I can do right now!
My sweet parents. I am worried about adding more gray hairs to their heads as we descend upon them once again. They are empty nesters and here I come with my three little wild animals! How great are they for always taking us in? But, as the title declares, at least I'm not knocked up this time!
The first time Jonny left for training Emma was one and I was pregnant with Matthew. We still had our house but I stayed with my parents until we moved to California. Then when we moved back from California and Jonny left for training again Emma was 3, Matthew was 1 and I was pregnant with Sophie. I swear my parents' neighbors must think Jonny is some kind of dirtbag...gets me pregnant and runs away every time! =)
Hopefully we'll be settled in happily in a couple of weeks and hopefully I will not be as crazy as I have in times past as my cute parents will be there to lend a hand and hopefully help fill some of the void for my little ones while Jonny is away.
Hope.
The word of the day...

Hate moving, love being moved. Good luck and good babies.
i will hope right along with you...
luckily for me, colin has leave for the next month, but he will leave in late july again. maybe i will make it to utah and then we can hang out...we can only HOPE!
I enjoyed seeing the pictures and hearing more about your trip. Cute little monkies you have. I hope that all goes well this week. You will be in our thoughts and prayers as Jonny gets ready to leave. We will be counting down the days until you get to come and visit. Love you!
manders always makes me laugh. nothin wrong in being a little knocked up... your parents will cherish every. single. second. :) now i look forward to emma-isms with your mom. you're a trooper and jonny's a keeper. xo
Oh I wish I was there to help!!! Seeing you last month was so so so great. Wish I was closer...
I'm glad you're not knocked up because I still have your maternity clothes. They are sitting on my floor waiting to be packed in a box and sent to you.
Hey - I was lloking for you and I never saw you - talked with Reade and Camille didn't come - talked with Judy - saw Cindy - but I was looking for you - so sad that I missed you - did you bring the kids? Did you stay the whole time - I did - got back to the hotel forever late - Bryce did cry when daddy could come back and saw good-bye one last time.
The day they leave is a sucky sucky day. I hope you're doing well, as well as can be expected anyway. It gets better, not because it gets easier but because you get used to it. Yuck. Sorry.
Hahaha, you seriously crack me up. You're probably not trying to be funny, but you just keep it real and I love that. I so wish I could be there to help you out. It sucks, everything about it, but I know I'm thankful for all your sacrifices. This is one of the reasons it really irks me when business give military discounts to only the active duty member. They just don't realize what sacrifice and pains the dependents go through in support of that active duty member. Love ya Amanda!
I was thinking about you today and wondering how you're doing... I love to read Emma's hilarious comments. She kills me! 20 days until baby.. or less I hope!!
Your title had me worried for a minute. I wish I was there to help you pack. I'm glad to hear you will have your parents there with you.
