Very blah!

My life has become very blah! My mother-in-law bought me a car new key (thank you mommy-in-law). So now I can go place which is nice, I went and got DD some baby friendly food (big adventure I know). I haven't be able to talk to DH for a few day and it's really getting to me emotionally. I got an email yesterday from his and I cried. While I'm happy I got an email it was only a sentence and it didnt really help me feel better (other than knowing he's ok). Tonight I was taking a bath and was listening to music and Mr. Mom by Lonestar came on...oh man I lost it. Now my husband is by no means a Mr. Mom since he works and I don't but he is just such an amazing dad and I'm still not use to him being away from me and DD. While this is his 4 deployment in 4 years! and we have been apart before this time is just totally new. I HATE HATE HATE that he is missing out on the little things. Like tonight DD had ravioli for the first time and she loved it!! To some it's just dinner to me it's DH missing out on DD's first.

So on the 20th I took DD to the play place at the funspot. It was the first time all day she didn't scream at me.  Literally she was pissed off all day, even my friend was amazed at my DD's actions. I am blessed, believe me I know I am. I have a DD who has slept through the night since the day she was born, she is a happy baby, well behaved...but DAMN was she cranky!! I think she had realized that her daddy was missing. Anyways I took her to the play place and she was in heaven! It was totally padded so I didn't have to worry about he falling over (score!) She loves moving and grooving....but falling over is currently part of that. I think we will be making more trips there this deployment.

DD was so proud of herself. She knows how to pull herself up, but this was the first time she did it in her pack n' play. She's played the up, down, up, down, up, down game ever since! But sometimes she puts her arm out and falls on it and in my mind I'm screaming OMG! You are gonna break your arm! Oh the stress of being a mommy!

mmm, dinner! DD's favorite time of the day is FOOD! I mean we go through a box of Ritz crackers a week! (not gonna lie I help eat them but still!) For dinner I made her noodles, she was loving it! I finally got smart and bought noodles I dont have cut or pull apart!

They were the perfect size for her to eat without help (clearly I was close by and watching her!) But she loves using her new tuffums (thats that we call teeth in our house, we're strange I know)

One Happy Hubby

So DH didn't get a lunch break today. I texted him around 4:30pm asking when he'd be home. He told me "soonish" so I started the "what should I make for dinner" inner monologue.  So I looked in our pantry and found a can of Progresso Soup. It was Rich and Hearty Chicken Pot Pie Style. It got my wheels turning, I looked in my fridge and saw Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. I knew then what I was going to make. I dug out my quiche pans, placed them on a cookie sheet and got working. If you leave 2 crescent rolls together it creates a rectangle. I took a rectangle and placed it in the bottom then spooned the slightly warmed soup in. Then I placed another rectangle  pinched it closed. I cooked it at the the time and tempature on the crescent roll tubes (350 degrees and 13 minuets) 2 tubes of Crescent Rolls and 1 18.6oz Rich and Hearty Chicken Pot Pie Style later I had 4 "pies".

These are 2 of the 4 pies. They look a little gross but my quiche pans have removable bottoms so it leaked a little bit and the blob on the right is the dough that I pinched off. DH ate 3 of 4 pies plus the blob of dough
