Millie's first day.

It was Autumn's second day, but Millie's first. I wasn't sure how things were going to go and

As you can see, Millie doesn't look so happy.

Autumn really loves these flowers and I have to admit, they are really pretty. I don't remember there being so many flowers on it before. It has more than all the other trees combined.

Photobucket
She says, "Miss Keri is going to think I am so pretty."

So now Millie is happy and Autumn is not. Cannot win for losing around here!

For all the busy bodies out there, yes, Millie wore her glasses to school.

We dropped Autumn off at 8 am and ran into a ton of traffic. Today was the first day of school for Harris county. Miss Angie said that the traffic would be bad the rest of the week, but it should settle down after that. Millie and I headed out to the trail to do my run. I decided to only run 2 miles since I only had 50 minutes to get there, run, and get back. I did my run in 16 minutes.

By the time we got back to school, Millie had to use the restroom, so I took her in. Then I dropped Millie off to her room, kissed her hand and told her to have a great day at school. As I was leaving, I could hear her shrieking down the hall. I cried. I kept walking though. Miss Angie told me they would call me in a little bit. About a half hour later, I was working really hard on the things I needed to work on when the girls are not home

when my phone rang and it was Miss Angie. My heart skipped a beat I think, but Miss Angie said that Millie had cried off and on for the first half hour, but really settled into things and was beginning to play. That made me feel so much better.

I got dinner prepped, in peace and quiet, fixed my hair, read some, listened to the rain and thunder, then headed to walmart. I needed some milk and a few items for Autumn.

I got to school about 20 minutes early and just waited. When the girls finally made it to the car, Millie looked happy. Miss Angie said that she didn't cry after that first half hour! YAY! Success! Wonder how tomorrow will go.

We left school and headed over to your mom's house. Your mom read Autumn a book about a bear that changes from brown to gray with a blue nose. It has two stuffed bears that goes along with the story and when the bear went through his transformation, from brown to gray, your mom hid one and pulled out another, but Autumn was not buying that. She said, "where is the other bear?" So your mom showed her both of them! Autumn then verified who the bears belong to... That girl!

After PB&J's and cupcakes, we headed home.

Photobucket
We had to watch for a downed tree in the road. These storms have been nasty. I wonder when I will ever be able to mow the grass.


The girls singing a song. Of course I'm not holding my phone the right way!

For dinner tonight we are having Turkey breast with white wine gravy over egg noodles. I will have a glass of wine with dinner too!

I showed Autumn your Walden photo and this one totally blew her mind.

Photobucket
She said, "How did Walden get on that bomb? Is it a real bomb? Will Walden be OK? Is Walden going to deliver bombs too?"

So I answered all her questions and then showed her this picture.

Photobucket
Which she wasn't very impressed by. Got to love them!

I love you and miss you much.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

The count: 46 days without Sean the bomb.

Snowzilla.

Autumn and I began the day shoveling the driveway. That is much more work than it sounds like. I had to get us both suited up for the ten degree weather, put her in the backpack, then head on out. It took us about an hour to finish the driveway and when we came back in, poor little Autumn's face had frost nip on it. She has now had frost nip twice. Later today, we went to visit Snowzilla. Frosty the Snowzilla man is huge!!! The local government is trying to put a stop to Snowzilla citing a building code violation. Well, I say down with the man!!!! Keep Snowzilla up. He isn't hurting anything. Anyway, here is a photo of Autumn and me with Frosty the Snowzilla man. Here is a related article in the Anchorage Daily News.

I hear clank, clank, clank in the kitchen. This cannot be good, grab the camera first though- for proof. You never know what you might find. Uh huh! AUTUMN!! What mom? I wasn't doing anything! So I've moved the knives for now, but it is only temporary. They need to go in a locked cabinet. I took Autumn's step stool upstairs to our bathroom so she could brush her teeth. I think I'm going to head back to Target and buy another one. I'm lazy and do not want to drag one up/down the stairs. Autumn really enjoys brushing her teeth.... with MY toothbrush! Say AHHHHHHH- checking to make sure she did a good job. She is so funny. Autumn and I are going to head downtown after nap time to see about the ice sculptures and check out the Christmas lights. Remember that house in South Anchorage that does the Christmas lights to music over FM radio? This year is the last year, he is moving and his new neighborhood cannot support the traffic. He may set them up somewhere e

I've gone back in forth in my mind a million times as to whether or not I should even write what I'm getting ready to write. When I think really hard about it, the truth is, I need to write it. I need the essence of who I am to be preserved somewhere. How I came to the decisions that I did, where my mind was at, where my heart was at in it. I need something that my children can look back on and try to understand me, or at least the essence of me. This tale begins about a month ago. I found a lump in my left breast while I was in the shower. I always do my breast exams in the shower. I'm pretty faithful about it too. About once a month or so, I check around and make sure I don't feel anything weird. That isn't easily done, you see, I have lumpy breasts, so I really don't know what I'm looking for. Lumpy breasts run in my family. This one particular day, about a month ago, I felt something that felt weird to me, but I was unsure about it.
