Day 87

Did a whole lot of nothing today

At least it felt like it since we didn't leave the house

I did do some cleaning, laundry and have the dog a haircut

Also made a pretty awesome castle with big blocks

So I guess we did do SOMETHING today

My 3 year old had several tantrums

In the middle of one he started crying and saying "I miss my daddy"

Talk about breaking your heart

I felt terrible

And instead of continuing to tell him to stop crying or go to his room until he could

(if you knew the ridiculous thing he was crying about you would say the same thing)

I scooped him up, hugged him and said we would try to see if daddy was on the computer

Our luck would have it that he was

Hopefully this isn't a new ploy that he's figured out to get mommy to baby him and feel sorry for him instead of mad

Either way, it was hard to hear

And its harder for him

It's gotta be hard to try to understand all this craziness

Today we also heard of 31 US soldiers that lost thier lives in Afganistan

So hard to hear news like that

Our soldier is in Iraq but its just way to close to home for my comfort

So tonight we are praying for those families and the terrible journey they just began
