100 Days!

Yesterday marked the 100th day of deployment!  We are now 1/4 of the way done!  It has definitely been far from easy but we've survived and grown immensely over the course of the last 100 days.   Lets recap some of our adventures:

• I had to replace practically every bulb in the house and got pulled over.

• I had to call a friend to come fix the leaking kitchen sink.

• We made a visit to the ER.

• I dealt with some inconsiderate comments made by a co-worker.

• I went through my first IEP meeting at the school - where they made me feel like I was crazy.

• I dealt with HUGH spiders - on more than one occasion.

• I finally called the exterminator and dealt with dead bugs EVERYWHERE!

• We had a stabbing in my neighborhood.

• No family called my 3 year old on his birthday - except his Daddy. 

• My oldest son was covered from head to toe in poison ivy.

• We finally got a diagnosis on my oldest son (which I have still yet to blog about; but will when the time is right).

It's no wonder really why I posted this yesterday - especially going back over everything that has happened in the past 100 days.  But in light of it all, I still managed to get out today and celebrate the passing of 100 days.

So what did I do?

(Can you read backwards above the doorway?)

I took myself to the spa for an hour long massage and a spa pedicure.  It was AWESOME!  I get on average two massages a year and this one, was by far, the best ever!  Maybe I valued it that much more because I needed it so bad - or maybe it was that it was just that good.

Needless, it was a much needed and deserved day at the spa.  I'm feeling rejuvenated and ready to face the next 100 days!  The good and the bad!

P.S.  Please don't get me wrong - there have been many good days as well in the last 100 days - but they'll be coming in another post all of their own soon!  As well as another special surprise.....
