Tour... I'm sure some people are still wondering... Well so am I. My husband goes back into work on Monday so we hope to find something out then. At this point I don't have a clue what the military has planned for him. He may be put into the 10 percent pool which means that he would be "on call" if they needed someone to up and go overseas in a moments notice or maybe he will still be going in May (which we haven't heard anything so it doesn't seem too likely right now but I guess with the military you never know) or maybe nothing?
I've asked my husband how he feels about this... not what he thinks other people think he should feel but what he feels (I find he needs to separate the two sometimes since he always seems to be too considerate of other people's feelings rather than actually saying what he feels). Of course like I knew part of him wants to go, he wants to be there... He is a soldier through and through. On the other hand he is a Daddy and that is the most important thing in the world to him. Missing time with your baby is something that money just can't buy and it isn't like he hasn't done his time there... 3 tours and all. But there is always that big part of him that feels he needs to be there, to help his "brothers" out. He does not like the idea of staying behind but he also doesn't like the idea of leaving us behind. I guess that is a lose-lose battle for him... and for me.
Of course I want my husband to be home with me and the kids but I could never make the choice for him. He needs to figure out what he needs to do... either way I'll be here... probably planning more things for him to renovate lol. But it is not a choice I feel is in my power or should be in my power. Sure I give an opinion... a positive and negative to each side to be fair. I guess my way of thinking is that whatever choice he makes I don't want him being able to blame me for making the choice for him if it was a wrong one.
Well maybe Monday will tell a story of what is to come... Whatever happens my support is where it belongs.

Almost There!!!
After almost two months of being showerless I finally had a shower tonight! Not to say I didn't have a bath during that time period, but being without a shower is a lot harder than I thought! The bathroom is almost done, we are inches away from the final touches... I almost think I am dreaming this up!
The final things we have to do are: the grout on the floor, baseboards, install the sink, and decorate! This should all be a horrible memory by Friday lol. Well the nightmare isn't over yet... There is still the matter of the hardwood floors... ugh! But that should move along much faster than the bathroom did. Morgan is getting a couple of his buddies to lend a hand, one who just recently did his entire house so really knows his stuff! I'll be buying them lots of beer and food to make sure the job gets done.
Well there is my update! Enjoy the before and almost done pictures! Isn't the old bathroom awful?! LOL

Stop Being So Sensitive Over Sensitivity!
Are you one of those people who feels like everything bothers you and you swear up and down that you aren't trying to be picky, it is just that you are sensitive to so many different things? It can really become overwhelming and almost demoralizing. Sometimes it feels like every product out there is made for "normal" people. Well the good thing about living in the year of 2010 is that "normal" almost doesn't exist anymore, so we "sensitive" people are finally getting the help we need to live "normal" lives!
I had the opportunity to review Crest and Oral-B products through MS&L (for free!) and to be transparent, my sister works at MS&L but please know that this in no way affects my personal opinion and honest review. I can't wait to tell you about my great experience with these great products!
In my package I received a tube of Crest Pro-Health tooth paste witch has a sensitive shield! It also protects against cavities, gingivitis, plaque tartar while it whitens and freshens your breath! Now I don't know about you but I usually never like the texture of the sensitivity tooth pastes (I guess you could say I'm sensitive to texture too lol) but the Crest Pro-Health feels nice and smooth and is easy to brush on and rinse off.
I tend to have really sensitive teeth, from hot and cold, and from what I hear that can happen while you are pregnant. Well I just had a baby less than five months ago and it hasn't seemed to go away yet... until now! This tooth paste has brought me back to where I was before my pregnancy. My husband has been using it along with me and he doesn't have very sensitive teeth. He usually hates the sensitive tooth pastes that I buy and will go out and buy his own but he has been using this with me for the past couple of weeks and said he has no problem sharing this kind of tooth paste with me. So it doesn't matter what your teeth type are, anyone can use it and enjoy it.
The next most important part of cleaning your teeth is cleaning them with the right tooth brush. I've tried other electric tooth brushes before and it felt like my brain was going to vibrate out of my head, but the Oral B Vitality Sensitive Clean does not have the over the top vibration that feels like you are brushing your teeth on a washing machine. The extra soft bristles are gentle on the gums and still removes plaque and gives your teeth a great cleaning, like you just left the dentist chair! I love going to the dentist so I love having that feeling every day.
The thing I have always despised the most was flossing my teeth!!! My gums are so sensitive that just even thinking about it makes them want to bleed. With the Crest Glide Pro-Health for sensitive gums it makes that horrible little job not such a big deal anymore. It slides through my teeth easily and my teeth are very close together. The texture of the floss feels nice and smooth, not like string which I have noticed with some other brands!
I guess the lesson here is that even with all of our sensitivity needs we can still be "normal" eat what we like and not have to worry about the effect it might have. We can accomplish healthy teeth and gums just as easily as anyone else can by using these products as directed and seeing your dentist on a regular basis. Having a healthy smile has never been so easy... Especially for us sensitive people!
