Day 1 of K Deployment

so today is officially day 1 of James's deployment to a place we will simply designate as K. i'm not that good at opsec, but i try. 

this morning was rough, but we sucked it up and went to Jerra's house to play. came home at nap time, had dinner, then went for a walk around the block to the park. we took tiki with us; a new interesting experience. i just wrapped her leash around the stroller handle and my hand and she pulled the best she could with her muzzle halter on. she's starting to figure out how to pull forwards with her face pointed to her left. go figure, can't train the sled dog out of her. got to the park where we encountered a helicopter mom in full hover mode. her poor son, had to be a little older than pax, could not step a toe out of line. that boy could not play the way he wanted to like all the other kids were. i usually yell at pax a little bit, things like hey don't throw that! and don't push that kid off the slide! but today, i just kept my mouth shut to prove a point. that and i was mad at her, she wouldn't let all the kids at the playground near tiki cause "that dog has something around its mouth don't touch it" like my tiki was some sort of violent dog that would eat their faces off. then she pulled pax off the slide because he was trying to climb up it when her kid was trying to go down. i was like, woman don't make me kill you! but i suppose its  a natural reaction for helicopter moms to want to control all the other kids too, and as long as she didn't get mean with pax i let it go. 

i have a goal to walk/run/whatever one mile a day (at least, more is good) while james is gone. today i did 1.4 miles. i also need to fix my diet and lose some weight and wake up early every morning and all kinds of stuff. go me. i usually go into kick-ass mode when james leaves. i am going to kick this deployment's butt! 

love you honey!
