just more ramblings

so here I sit, 1 am thinking how great, yet trying, it has been the last month or so. LB's job and him working from home has been AWESOME...when he is home. The first week on the job, he spent it in San Diego, then some other trips, then some more. He is due back Thur night, flies out Sunday, then so on and so on. I get it. I understand all this traveling. it's our 9 YO that doesn't. I married him when he was in the navy, stationed on a ship, I did the Military wife thing. Daddy is her hero and gets upset when he leaves. I have tried explaining to her why he is doing this, she still doesn't get it. Although I think it's getting a little better.

So, a couple days before President's Day, LB, Becca and I went to Hooters for dinner. LB has this addiction to their wings (so he says) and I swear I am gonna wake up in the middle of the night to hear him nibbling on his fingers...or mine Becca saw that gum ball machine that if you get a black gum ball, the wings are free. She must have tried like 5 times! She popped one gum ball in her mouth and out popped a loose tooth. A couple days later I took her to her 6 month dental cleaning. New dental tech, no older than 23. As Becca is in the chair and the DT is getting ready to start on her cleaning, the following conversation started...
Becca..watch out, I lost a tooth the other night chewing on a gum ball at Hooters
DT..Who took you to Hooters? (laughing)
Becca..My daddy.
Me..sitting in the chair in corner not sure who to laugh at more...the big eyed DT or what Becca said

Becca will be 10 on April 10th. Ugh! She is growing so fast. We are having her party on April 12th. Finger food plus Hooters wings  Time sure has flown. After one more year in elementary school it's off to MIDDLE school! ACK! I am so not ready for this.  She is doing much better this year. I like her teacher and I believe the teacher from last year has resigned. Hmm, imagine that! Becca has made the B honor roll this past semester. We are so proud of her!!
