Getting the hang of it

So, we seem to be falling into a decent routine. The girls aren't asking as much about Todd in a sad way, but really enjoy talking with him when he calls. For me, it's the highlight of my day for sure! It actually works out well that he's getting up when I'm going to bed and he's going to bed in the middle of our afternoon. Thank goodness he's in a place that he can contact us!

Talking with him today made me feel better. He was telling me more about how safe he feels where he is and the security that is surrounding his building. He told me about the sirens that go off when they are about to be fired upon (the green zone, NOT his building), and the bunkers that are around for them in case they are out and about at the time. WOW. It's still pretty crazy to think about it all.

The girls and I had a good day. I wanted to take them to the zoo, but they wanted to go to Grant's Farm again to see the things that the missed the other day. We hung around home to get some things done and then went there for lunch and the afternoon. It was very cool spending time with them there....so relaxing. They really enjoy it and that makes me happy.

Betime was decent tonight, though I think that I need to be sure to keep on top of things were Kara is concerned. If she's not sleeping by 7:30 on the nights that she hasn't had a nap, it won't be pretty. Leah is having a hard time falling asleep....she's just like her father! I'm realizing that 9:00 is pretty much her bedtime, so we might find some extra books (maybe some fun chapter ones) to start reading with the extra time between when Kara hits the sheets and she gets tired. It needs to be something low key like reading for her, or she won't be able to settle until midnight!

Okay...of to finish watching IDOL on the dvr. Hopefully, I'll hear from my hubby before he starts his day! It would be nice to talk with him when the kids aren't bugging me for the phone!
