Well, I forced myself up and out of the house today for a mommy and me type meetup group. It was nice. Cletus was too small to partake of the activities, but it was nice to get out and meet some other moms in the area. I have a full weekend planned, since hubby is away for military duty for the weekend. I'm going to my best friend's house tonight, for wine and possibly Uno. Tomorrow will be spent in the Houston area, with my friend and then later on my dad and stepmom. Going to a family friend's surprise party at Saltgrass Steakhouse Sat. evening (Yum, big bloody steak for me) and then home again Saturday night. Sunday, I suppose, will be spent running around the house trying to get it clean before the hub gets home Sunday night.

I'm really trying to be out and social, with the deployment hovering over my head, I really have a sense of urgency to create a network of people I can be around to help me keep my mind off of it. I've kind of been a bitch the past week, and I owe my man a special apology for it. I'm just so fucking angry about his deployment, and I don't have anyone to be mad at. At least, no one that I can look at and say the horrible things I want to say to. He is going to miss a year out of the baby's life, and that is what angers me. And for what, really?

*sigh*

So am I cheerful, or what? I'm hoping a glass of wine and some good company tonight will ease this stress knot I feel building inside of me.

On another note, the weather has been beautiful. I have the windows in the house open, letting in the sunshine. Took some more pictures of the baby, and I know you all haven't had nearly enough of him yet, so here goes!

First, though, my doggie.
