TGIF

This was my Friday night.

                                             Pzza, Wings, Ranch, Beer and my favorite movies

                                                         

Plus I got to talk to this guy! Yup this is my perfect Friday night.

Dig that fine ass!!! (excuse my crudeness)

So in my previous post i talked about wanting to get in better shape before my husband came home. Sort of a welcome home gift to him. In my personal opinion i think every returning soldier should be welcomed by a person with the sexiest of bods, whether he/she had to pay for them to be there is none of my concern. Again i'm joking on that one....maybe. I was doing just Insanity for a while (the workout and not the mental state, although the whole time i'm doing this i am thinking that i must be insane.....so never mind on the mental state) but i thought "I really want a sexy booty". I wanted a firm high ass, not the one that i was currently rockin (flat ass). So i found a workout plan on Pinterest and oh how i love my Pinterest. Its the Brazil Butt Lift work out combined with Insanity. I have completed a week of this workout and i LOVE it. here is what it looks like.

 I personally choose not to rest on the rest days, instead i do the tummy tuck or insane abs workout. Note: Please do not scroll down to the very bottom if you are uncomfortable with viewing bikini snap shots. I plan on documenting my progress and plan on posting photos to show that. I will always warn before i do though so no worries. And keep in mind this is only week one. As you can see in the first photo of me and my husband, I was a chunk (my own opinion, no one else)
 

Run Run as fast as you can

Since my soldier has been gone I have made it a point to get my body back to where it was pre-babies, maybe even better! I enjoy the fact that we are a pretty active family and that our little misters enjoy running their little hearts out. So i thought "why not do two 5K's in one day"? couldn't hurt right? It honestly wasn't that big of a deal for the kids physically but our last run went past their bed time and it was also in the dark with really loud techno music and people running fast and throwing neon paint all over you, well needless to say it scared the shit out of them. On a side note i would also like to say that they specifically noted in this night run that it was "not a rave". LIES!!! At the end of the race it was most definitely a rave. I was a good mom though and made my kids go into the mosh pits and take their tops off. Totally joking by the way! We headed strait home.....to a series of unfortunate events. More to come on that later.
The bubble run that we did in the AM was a full on BLAST! we had so much fun and plan on doing it next year when/if it comes back to our area.
 

Month 4

This month i am doing the Survivor Mud Run with my good friend. She made us each a shirt that says "supporting my man one run at a time" with our last names on the back. So cute! FYI if this is your first EVER run, don't sign up for the mud run. But apparently i am an over achiever or i think i'm invincible, either way though, i was cursing my self half way through this thing. It was COLD and the weather was crappy! half way through i'm pretty sure i was chanting "i'm never doing this again" and "why did i do this to myself" over and over again. My sweet little baby turned 2 on the 11th of March. I was really sad that my husband couldnt be there to celebrate the day with us but i know it was 10 times harder on him then it was on me.

Month 3

I don't think deployment mode has really set in with me because my husband hasn't left the states yet. I am still able to talk to him every day with no worries. His unit is being allowed a 4 day pass and were given permission to travel back home on their own dime. I guess that it doesn't usually happen that way, the soldiers families are the ones that need to travel if they want to visit for the 4 day pass but they were being extremely generous. My husband rented a car and drove home with 4 other soldiers. I swear i sent him a "where are you" text every 5 minutes (i'm not joking, the time frame is probably very accurate). I was SO excited!! The time that i did get to spend with my husband on those 4 days went by fast and i hated that. I was so thankful to at least get those days but i wish we could have drove off to mexico and said "See ya B*tches". Hes to moral for that though, im not, but he is.

Month 2

Classes for school start on the 19th! Thank goodness some of my professors posted their class a few days early so i could get a jump start. I go back and fourth on whether i think i made the right choice to start school while my husband is deployed. Some days i feel like "i got this" and others id like to run away. My husband is now in Texas with his unit preparing for their year long vacation (JOKING). I have been a Pinterest addict, looking up different ideas for care packages. Honestly i haven't found any that i like so i'm just going to wing it. Before my husband left, his unit had a going away ceremony. I have never been to one since this is our first deployment but i thought it would have been a bigger deal to most of the families and such that attended. It didn't seem that way, very laid back and casual. Is that how they usually are? maybe i was reading everyone wrong and they were actually just trying to stay strong for their loved one. Seeing my husband in formation standing behind the American flag really hit a soft spot for me. i couldn't help but have this sense of pride for what my husband was about to do. I thought "What an amazing man he is". I just wanted to scream "Hell YEAH, that's my MAN. Go baby WHOOOO" but that would have been extremely inappropriate (I did it in my head, along with a chest shimmy).
 

Month 1

(I am writing these late, i didn't get the brilliant idea of keep a blog journal until 5 months after my husband has been gone) This month wasn't very hard for me. Things still felt semi-normal in my house hold minus the husband. He was out in the field with his unit doing training and they were not able to come home those nights. To keep my self busy i signed up for college! I am either really motivated and have my shit together or i'm insane and should expect a melt down in the near future. Either way, here we GO!!! My mother in law took the boys and I to see a movie. We had a blast and the boys did amazingly well. I went through my Facebook posts and found some of my posts about how life was while he was gone. Apparently this month wasn't as easy as i thought it was, i blame my mental state on my heritage :) December 5, 2012 I have started to realize i'm probably crazy (i know, it took me a while). Every night while i'm in the shower i SWEAR i hear someone breaking into the house and at night i SWEAR someone is about to bust down my master bedroom doors and smother me in the night. conclusion: i need Patrick in bed next to me so i'm a sane person. now ill just sign and notarize this and send it to his commanding officer. That should do the trick Brittnay Sears December 21, 2012 via mobile Nothing like a little dance off with my three men to make this mamas crappy day a little brighter. So lucky to have them! December is not my month! first Patrick leaves, I find out im pregnant, then find out its twins! then find out they are ectopic, having to deal with all the medical stuff that goes along with that. Then we get into a car accident today, i get a ticket and then come home to find out that the toilet in the master bathroom has been leaking all day while i was out! Im looking forward to 2013 and am hopeful that it will be a great year!

This cant be happening

I will never forget the way i felt on the night that my husband told me he received his orders to deploy.... I had just put our boys down for bed and went downstairs to clean up the kitchen and the table from the nightmare of having spaghetti with a 4,3 and 1 year old. My husband walked over, I could tell something was up because he wasn't acting like his usual "thank goodness the boys are down" mood, he hesitantly said "I'm going babe". Instantly i knew exactly what he meant and in an instant i felt heart break, anger, fear, and sadness all within seconds of each other. And you can bet your ass he also experienced those emotions through me because i am not one to hold back my feelings, i try but i can only hold my tong for a few seconds. I thought "how is this happening to us NOW"? "why now"? We had just purchased our house, had plans to vacation across the seas and were experiencing a very hard trial with infertility. As horrible as it sounds i also thought "i didn't sign up for this". Don't worry, that was the irrational part of my thinking which happens more times then i would like to admit. My husband is what they call "a weekend warrior" which is bull shit if you ask me. They all fight the same fight, as i was quickly reminded of that the night my husband told me he was leaving. I want to write to this blog as a sort of personal diary for myself but also for other military wives who might be going through the same thing. So that we can all lean on each other during this sucky time.
