March 26th and it is a nice warm 27° outside. Gotta love a Midwest winter that just doesn't want to end. For that reason, no 10k for me today. I donated my money to the Wounded Warriors. I am sure they don't care if I got out there and froze my ass off. Plus, I can't justify taking B and M out in this being that their sitter is sick. So, it was definitely a win for everyone, well except Dave. He thought it started at 8:30 and was there by 7:30 -- because I mean everyone gets there an hour before start time right?!? Around 7:45 I received the phone call that starts "I am such a damn idiot, the race isn't until 9:30 and I am the only one here. Oh, and its cold to boot." No comment on my end as I was loving the warmth of inside the house:)
Tonight I am hosting a party for Dave's female Marine Options. Personally, I don't think he grants them the attention they deserve so being we are exiting this duty station I am doing something for them. An Italian dinner and a massage therapist that is coming in to do a foot pressure point massage on all of them. I suppose it's my way of saying "Sorry you were treated as if you had a penis the past three years." Joking, I know Dave provided amazing training to them (as they idolize him), but I am yet to meet a female Marine who is a grunt and I know he did not touch on any other MOS's (job specialities for those civilian readers). Hopefully they enjoy it. I mean I am starting the meal with Lasagna soup, whats not to enjoy?!?
I am off to DC tomorrow for a week of training. This is the first time that Dave has ever been left alone with the kids without my mom around to assist. I have already sent Matti's teacher a note apologizing if she shows up in the wrong uniform on the wrong day, forgets homework, lunch, and hasn't had her hair brushed. I have left Dave a 3 page list of items that needs to be done. I am certain come Friday he will have Welcome Home signs hanging along the Toll Road for me:) Keep your fingers crossed for him.
