Yesterday was so totally blah. I had zero motivation to get up and do anything. I took care of Madison and then proceeded to find a home on my couch. It isn't very often that I do this but yesterday I determined was my day to just veg out. I talked to my friends, spoke with my fabulous husband via skype and watched Disney flicks with short stack. I also did what many other Americans and others around the world did. I watched the impending tsunami's through out the Pacific region. It really got my attention. More so when they issued a tsunami warning for Japan and Okinawa, my soon to be island home. How scary. Even more scary the fact that they themselves experienced a 7.0 quake just 50 miles from the island. I started to think about the idea that this could happen at any time while I am there. The fact that my husband is a fire fighter, and more then likely won't be with me. He will be helping make sure everyone else is okay if he isn't deployed to some other war torn country. I discussed these worries and fears with him and we have made a plan. The standard "GO," backpack with important documents, changes of clothes etc.. and the idea that I can handle whatever may come our way. I am so relieved that everyone escaped any massive damage from the waves. Well I suppose it is time to get off of here. Have to go get "Princess," party supplies for the big throw down this Saturday. Cannot believe the little one will be 4! I am certain she gives me more then I give her every day, just with her little smile. Many people I know- older friends really, don't have children yet and sometimes I truly envy their freedom. The ability to go where you want without finding out if it is "kid friendly." LOL. Then I get woke up by that little voice and those big blue eyes and all that envy goes right out the window. Blessed. Yeah that sums out how I feel right now....
