Week from H E Double Hockey Sticks!!

This week really has been pure craziness for all of us. Jackson has been cutting his first tooth and The Man had reserves this weekend but instead of the typical Saturday - Sunday drill they made it a 4-day, Thursday - Sunday.

This is how Thursday - Sunday looked for us:

Thursday: the Man left for reserves at 6 a.m., the babysitter got here at 9:30, I got home around 2, the Man got done with reserves at 4 and went directly from there to class and got home around 10 p.m.

Friday: the Man left for class at 7 a.m. and then went directly from class to reserves, he got home around 5:30, we packed everything up and headed to the Brewer/Nationals game more on the game later, we got home from the game around 11 and went to bed.

Saturday & Sunday: the Man left for reserves at 6 a.m. and then went directly to work afterwards, he got home around 11:30 p.m. I do realize that Sunday is not over but it will be the same as Saturday


What these 4 days have taught me is that I do not think I could be a stay-at-home-mom! well maybe I could be a stay-at-home-mom if the Man would have been home more than just the 5 hours he was here sleeping and the little man isn't cutting teeth  Nothing around the house got done & I am exhausted in every possible way I know the Man is too...I also have a ton of work that I needed to do from home over these 4 days and have not started any of it, so it looks like as soon as the little man goes to sleep tonight I will be working. It is days/weeks like these that make me wish we lived closer to our family and friends!! And I am so so so thankful that the Man is no longer active duty I can't imagine him deploying for 8 months or only being home for a total of 15 weeks of the year (like 2011) now that Jack is in our lives and that reserves only happens once a month and 2 weeks out of the year!

Love for Wisconsin

In case any of you did not know I happen to LOVE Wisconsin.  Now all the awesomeness happening in WI sports just makes me love it even more.

Let's recap the past couple weeks in WI sports:

- Brewers are in the playoffs and I must say they are doing AMAZING only 1 team stands between them and a trip to the World Series!!!  And to top it off I actually get to watch these games and can see the Crew in BEAST mode!

- Badgers are now ranked #4 after destroying Nebraska last week...another amazing game I was ecstatic to be able to watch!

- The Packers are 4-0 and currently leading Atlanta in the 4th so I am making an early prediction of 5-0 


I hope all of you are excited as I am about how well the state is being represented right now. Just wish I could attend one of these games.  Sorry if that was not as good of a recap as you were hoping for I was distracted by the Packer game and really wanted to finish this post!
