Two Days Off
My dad is in town visiting. He's been her a week and a half, and will be leaving Sunday. I took today and friday off, but have to work Sat night. That's all I have to say about that.
But what do I do for my two days off. I feel like I'm wasting a lot of time and have many things running through my head that I would like to get done at work. Oh well. I just have to learn to relax.
Other then that, everything is wonderful. Leslie is getting married next year, Kim is getting married next year. Alex is teething, which isn't really bad, she's a bit cranky here and there, but I can usually make her laugh amidst her crying, she doesn't take crying very seriously, never has, and it's pretty easy to convince her she has nothing to cry about. Meanwhile she shoves anything she can get her hands on, including my nose, into her mouth and chews on it. If she can't get something she wants in her mouth correctly, she growls. It's really adorable. She's such a happy baby, Joe and I really lucked out, like I said before, she doesn't take crying very seriously, and she rarely does it. She's smiling when she wakes up in the morning, smiling before she falls asleep at night, and of course my favorite is her smiling as soon as I walk in the door from work.
I want to go home though, I want to go to Michigan and be around my family. I grew up very close to my mother's side of my family, and pretty close to my dad's. I want Alex to grow up knowing her grandparents and aunts and uncles as well as I knew mine. BUT it's really scary knowing that in one year and 7 months I have to make the decision whether or not to reenlist. I can't just extend anymore. I'm not sure what to do, and I know if this CHP thing doesn't work out for Joe, I'm going to HAVE to reenlist, as horrible as that sounds. The bonus would be nice, and I need to have the security of knowing I'm getting a steady pay check, and have health insurance, but I want to be home so bad. There is nothing to do in Michigan though, no jobs. Whatever... we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
So that's about it.... OH, Joe is leaving a week from today, he's taking my little girl all they way to Louisana to visit her godfather Cole. He's only going to be gone four days, but I've never been away from her nearly that long. I guess it'll ease me into my TDY... if I get picked, I'll be going to Virgina for 6 weeks.
That's all... I'm getting in the shower.
