It's Finally June....

It's finally June! I never thought it would get here. I must say I am very happy to see the ass end of May. Without a doubt, May was the longest and worst month so far. It felt like it was never going to end. Four months done, three more to go. It didn't help that Dan was extremely busy, and we only got to talk to him twice this month (and the last time the phone got cut off so the girls didn't get to talk to him). The kids are scared they can't remember what Daddy's voice sounds like. How sad is that? Hopefully, he can call this weekend. Did you hear the Daddy?? Finally, today we can say we are going to see Dan this month!! It's about time. This deployment feels like it started in March 2006 when Dan got posted here. It's the deployment that never ends, but never mind. We only have three more weeks to get through until our vacation, which means three more long painful weekends. Oh God help me! The highlight of this weekend is going to Pembroke after swimming lessons tomorrow. Connor got an A on his math test, so we're off to Walmart for a reward, and than I'm going to take them out for lunch. And if we're really feeling adventurous, we'll go see my buddies at Home Depot afterward. How exciting is that?

By the way, today was Pinch and Punch day. Poor John, I got him fair and square this time. There was absolutely no question of the winner. Maybe you'll do better next month Poppa. You'd better write yourself a note in that book of yours, so you won't forget. So for those keeping score, so far this year, I'm ahead 4-2!! Oh, in case you are wondering, we did have more Severe Thunder Storm warnings tonight. No tornado warning, though. How disappointing! Crazy Kids! It did hail up on base, but not here though, which is less than five minutes from the Base. Told you the weather in Petawawa was crazy.
