I feel like I'm missing somebody. Let me know if I am. I also just wanted to say thanks for all the wonderful comments that everyone leaves and for the emails I get. I have been AWFUL at commenting myself and responding to emails as of late so I want you to know that I appreciate it very much.
If you must know where I've been, I've actually been going to bed early. So no late nights at the club as usual (sarcasm there)
We've also been fixin' our place up a bit, and I've been cookin' a bit so I don't have to cook everyday, and shoppin' and so on. I've also been doin' a bit of gardenin' too. Here's some pics of what's on my balcony (I don't usually leave the g's off of my words, just feeling a little bit country tonight):
please don't pay attention to our busted balcony
mostly everything looks like this, but still exciting
This weekend my HF's baby brother and his wife will be visiting for memorial weekend. We have a jam-packed weekend of fun waiting for them (fingers crossed) It's also the last week of school for Daisy.
I'll be back tomorrow with a very important question for all police wives/spouses. I'm trying to make you all curious so you'll really come back tomorrow. Did it work?

Oh I dislike those WET nights. Mr A has them and it really sucks.. and some nights I too dont change the sheets and just put towels down just to get him back to sleep asap cuz if he is awake too long Its over we are up the rest of the night :/
your garden looks great! I will be waiting for your question tomorrow
yes, it worked. :) That is so awesome about HF coming home. BTW, I NEVER change sheets in the middle of the night, I put a towel over the spot and you gotta live with it. I guess that makes me a mean mommy.
Guess what? We got a strawberry plant too!! Not sure how to protect it, tho... or make it grow for that matter! :O
re: wetspot. You're nice. My sister used to just crawl in bed with me.
re garden, you can get inexpensive apartment netting. it goes over/around your balcony. Stops larger birds and other creatures from getting at them, but still allows insects to pollinate them.
@KD: To grow strawberries, lots and lots of sunlight, water when it's cool (aka evening/first thing in the morning) and just leave them alone!! protect them using netting. for slugs set out a small dish with some beer in it!
good luck with the gardens!!

I'll be back with or without the suspense of the question. :)
The kids have been more to handle for us lately as well--my post today is on blackout blinds.
I hope things improve, and I just saw some wild strawberries growing in a nearby field. Reminded me that it is time to do some picking at one of our local farms.
Love the moving to another bedroom to trick the kiddos! Heh heh.
Can't wait to hear your question... :)
Don't worry about anything, you sound like you have your hands full this weekend. I'm sure I will too. I have some friends visiting and a party planned.
take care and thanks for including me on your list.
You got my curiosity up! Can't promise I'll be back to read tomorrow exactly, but I can try. My world is a bit rocked these days too! I SO feel you on the wet beds, and will try the blanket solution :o) I have a friend who puts a mattress pad, then a sheet, then a mattress pad, then another sheet in case she needs to change the bed in the middle of the night. I love that idea, but with three kids I don't have enough mattress covers. We have 4 that rotate constantly! Maybe it will work for you though.
Mmmm. Strawberries? Send some my way! Sorry, no advice on that. My thumb is orange, not green.
I love the flower boxes on the balcony! :)
Thanks for including me in your list of new police-wife blogs. I'm new to blogging, so I'm just getting the hang of it, but it's neat to see the police-family support!
