It's adding up

The house is a mess. Piles of new stuff cover the dining room table, towels, bath supplies, notebook and envelopes, shoe polish, and so much more. New uniforms are piled behind the couch, boots litter the dining room, empty bags lay in piles. All signs a change is coming. Coming way too fast.

The last week has flown by. Got the kids some fish. Or as Stinker calls them, fiff-fees! They were a hit, sat Stinker down at the table and she spied them and started waving her hand madly in her attempt to sign 'fish' was quite cute. As with anything new she doesn't really notice them as much now a few days later. That's okay. I think they were more for me anyway. Yesterday we started back up at a local play group. Mom watched Little Man so I could just take Stinker, she had a blast! Not often that we can do things just us. Thankfully we are trying to remedy that. In a few weeks we will be able to go back to story time. So nice to have the summer over and get back to our routine. It will help with the husband away.

With all the good there has been some worrying things as well. Well, mainly one thing. Stinker has always played with her hair and tugged on it, recently though it's gotten worse with it becoming noticeably thinner on one side. Little Stink is pulling out her hair! So today we are adding a haircut to our very long to do list. I have mixed feelings about it all. Her hair is far from long and we are about to cut it all off, think this might be harder for me then for her. For now we are just going to have them even it up a bit. If it keeps happening we will have them cut it really short, I might cry. Just saying.

So much to do today, and then tomorrow! It all adds up to one thing and is becoming very real. We can do this though, and will. First things first, change Little Man's diaper and go get Stinker from bed. Wish us luck today!
