Feeling a bit better today

I have been able to talk to Kale everyday now. Mostly on Windows Live, the phone reception sucks and he is deaf so it's a lot of "WHAT?" and me yelling. And I am not a fan of everyone in the house knowing my business. The guys who live with him suggested we buy webcams and microphones and talk through Windows Live. So today I braved going back to Walmart with Judy to purchase said products. I found a middle of the line webcam that came with a headset to talk with and it works with Windows Live. I had to buy two, he said there aren't any to buy in Cuba which I am surprised. Our PX (like Walmart) has them so I figured the NX (Navy's version) would have them too. Especially since he said the NX has more than our PX, but oh well I bought them anyways. Now I just have to send it to him and wait for him to get it, about two weeks.

We spent 4hrs out and about today. We went looking for something to keep Delilah confined to a certain space. Judy's vacuum is broken and their dog loses a ton of fur daily. After she's been on the floor for awhile she is black from dog hair, YUCK! It grosses me out. We wanted to find a play yard you sit on the ground so we could lay a blanket down under it and she'd have room to crawl. They live in a small town and variety is not an option. Instead I found a relatively cheap walker to put her in. She gets upset with it though, she can only make it go backwards right now. We'll see how she does later. She has had to have a bath every night since we got here because of the damn dog fur. I almost bought a vacuum instead, but she says she is getting hers fixed and until then we can use Nanny's (Kale's grandma, she lives with them).

We took the girls to the library today. It was the smallest library I have ever seen. It was one room for all the books. Lilly found 8 that interested her for now and Aidan found 9. Sophia checked out 2, a board book and a Max and Ruby book for us to read to her. We don't let her have paper books alone anymore, she ripped two of them to pieces during her nap. They were ours, but still. After lunch Judy and I went to town and were there for FOUR hours. This is our trek:

1) Walmart 1hr 30mins: We bought many things.
2) Dollar Tree 10mins: Judy ran in.
3) Lowe's 20mins: They didn't have what she wanted, we knew it after 10mins but still looked around for 10 more.
4) Consignment Shop 20mins: Looking for baby playyard or walkers. They wanted $24.99 for the walker I bought brand new at Walmart for $33.99.
5) K-mart 20mins: To see if they have a cheaper walker. I did find swim diapers that were Delilah's size and only $2.99! I took the huggies ones back and got my $7.50 back, they weren't her size anyways they didn't have her size at Walmart.
6) Big Lots (same reason) 15mins: Old ladies were gushing over Delilah so it took longer than it should have.
7) Back to Walmart 15mins: To get the walker and my ice cream.
8) Carwash 15mins: To wash the bugs off my van.
9) HOME to make dinner, bathe children, and put them to bed.

It's a wonder why I am not that tired right now. I got some sleep last night, it was in 3-4hr periods but for most of the night. Teething babies are the pits. Hopefully she will sleep better tonight. Tomorrow we are going to the Flea market and for Father's Day we are taking my FIL to an Aquarium, because 85 degrees is "too hot for the zoo". Whatever! But it's not my day so I will keep my trap shut, except to bitch to you and my husband.

Have a good weekend!
