Life with 2

I'm starting to panic. As my due date gets closer, my anxiety is getting worse. How am I going to handle 2 little girls? Am I going to have enough love for both of them? How about time? Or even energy...

Can you tell that I'm panicking? I've been staying up late at night. Because I just don't know if I can handle all of this. What a time to start stressing. I know. But it's here. And it's real.

How do other parents of multiple children do it? I mean when we had our little one, I'm not going to lie, it was a little overwhelming. My hubby works in the military. It's not like he can just call in sick to hang with me and the kids. So I need to be able to do this.

Especially, if he gets sent over seas again. I'm just stressing. And hoping that I can do this. I know I can. Millions before me have. I just need to get some confidence. And any wisdom, knowledge, and tips are more than welcome!

Missing Daddy

I've been a bad blogger. I all but abandoned my blog. My husband joked with me the last time we talked. So I'm going to try and do better.

Do you see this picture? Yesterday when Laney woke up from her nap, she was missing her daddy. It was something fierce! So I got one of his tshirts out, and one of the videos he made her. She wrapped herself in the tshirt and she got so excited to see her daddy on tv. My girl was so excited! I'm glad that we made all those tapes before he was deployed.

Laney kept running to the tv and kissing her daddy. She was talking to him. My girl was so excited! And it made me cry. Being a military family, you live on the brink all the time! You just never know what's going to happen. You know, I stress out that my husband's going to get hurt. But you just never know.

After the video ended. And my hubby had "read" Laney her favorite book. She was all better! But she wanted to make her daddy something. We try to send him a few letters and pictures every week. And every couple of weeks we send him a care package. I know he enjoys them. And I just want him to know that we love him and think of him every single day!

I found this picture. I don't know where. I just did a google search for a picture, for Laney to color. I wish I would have scanned it before I put it in the envelope. It was so cute! I'm sure my hubby is going to love it. Just because his little "daddy's girl" made for him.

Welcome...I'm Cassie

And I'm a military wife. Sometimes a desperate housewife. Sometimes I worry too much. And I miss David when he is fighting for our country. We have a beautiful baby, Laney, that reminds me every single day that what David does...is good for all of us!

I decided to start a blog. I read tons of them. It seems like a nice community to be involved in. I need that! For both Laney and I. I would like to learn how to be a better wife. To be a better cook. To manage our finances better when David is gone. To make our military home feel more like...a home.

I would like to connect with more military wives and moms. I want to know that I'm not the only one that feels crazy at times. I can't be the only one that cries myself to sleep when David is gone. There has to be other wives that feel completely empty inside, when their husbands are deployed. That clean the kitchen 4 times a day to stay busy. Because when you sit down, it becomes to much to think about.

But more than anything, I want to document a bit of my family's life. I want for there to be a place that I sit and write about the simple things. Like new teeth, trips to the mountains, and Saturday mornings watching cartoons. Ya, that's what I want my blog to be about...family. And family times. About the smiles...and occasionally, the tears.
