Stealing Cinderella

SO I KNOW OUR GIRLS ARE ONLY 5 AND ALMOST 3 BUT WHEN I HEAR STUFF ABOUT DADDYS AND THEIR LIL GIRLS IT MAKES MY HEART SWELL AND I THINK ABOUT TOM AND HIS GIRLS!!!! HE LOVES THOSE GIRLS MORE THAN I CAN EVEN SAY AND HAS A SPECIAL BOND WITH THEM....I HEARD THIS SONG TODAY....ITS BEEN OUT FOR A LONG TIME BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IT. ITS THE SONG PLAYING ON MY BLOG NOW AND CALLED "STEALING CINDERELLA". HERE ARE THE LYRICS!

STEALING CINDERELLA

I CAME TO SEE HER DADDY, FOR A SIT DOWN MAN-TO-MAN IT WASN’T ANY SECRET, I’D BE ASKING FOR HER HAND I GUESS THAT’S WHY HE LEFT ME WAITING IN THE LIVING ROOM BY MYSELF WITH AT LEAST A DOZEN PICTURES OF HER SITTING ON THE SHELF

CHORUS

SHE WAS PLAYIN’ CINDERELLA

SHE WAS RIDING HER FIRST BIKE

BOUNCIN’ ON THE BED AND LOOKING FOR A PILLOW FIGHT

RUNNIN’ THROUGH THE SPRINKLER WITH A BIG POPSICLE GRIN

DANCIN’ WITH HER DAD, LOOKIN’ UP AT HIM

IN HER EYES I’M PRINCE CHARMING, BUT TO HIM I’M JUST SOME FELLA RIDING IN STEALING CINDERELLA

I LEANED IN TOWARDS THOSE PICTURES TO GET A BETTER LOOK AT ONE WHEN I A HEARD A VOICE BEHIND ME SAY NOW, “AIN’T SEE SOMETHING SON” I SAID “YES SHE’S QUITE A WOMAN” AND HE JUST STARED AT ME AND I REALIZED THAT IN HIS EYES SHE WOULD ALWAYS BE

REPEAT CHORUS

WELL HE SLAPPED ME ON THE SHOULDER THEN HE CALLED HER IN THE ROOM WHEN SHE THREW HER ARMS AROUND HIM THAT’S WHEN I COULD SEE IT TOO

SHE WAS PLAYIN’ CINDERELLA

SHE WAS RIDING HER FIRST BIKE

BOUNCIN’ ON THE BED AND LOOKING FOR A PILLOW FIGHT

RUNNIN’ THROUGH THE SPRINKLER WITH A BIG POPSICLE GRIN

DANCIN’ WITH HER DAD, LOOKIN’ UP AT HIM

IF HE GIVES ME A HARD TIME, I CAN’T BLAME THE FELLA I’M THE ONE WHO’S STEALING CINDERELLA

Where have I been?!?!?!

5 days after surgery2 weeks after surgery

Its been almost a month since I wrote the last time and there is a good reason for that!!! I think some of you know that I had surgery on 9/5. This lil heavy boy that is cooking right now and has one trimester left as of today gave me severe carpal tunnel syndrome in the rt hand so we had to get it taken care of!!!! My friend Christina has stayed with me the last 2 weeks and has been a HUGE help taking care of the house, the kids-all 3 and ALL the CRAZY dogs!!! We have survived the madness around here including another round of kidney stones, a lil 5 yr old who misses her dad, a 7 mo old who is teething and has diarrhea and a diaper rash, a 2.5 yr old who has decided bed is for everyone but her and the neighbor threatning the dogs!!! Its been a fun 2 weeks-Christina deserves a heroes award and a nice vacation!!!!

The baby is doing well.....I am 27 weeks today-13 left!!! Tom should be coming home around Dec 21 for the babys birth! I have only gained 7 lbs and I am measuring 28 weeks! I measured a week small with the girls so Im guessing this lil man is going to be a lil bigger than his sisters!

Tom is no longer at Basrah Air Station. He has been moved north again closer to Baghdad. He has had a lil more work at the new place but not much more. It is good that things are so quiet there right now but it does make the time pass slowly! The girls and I miss him so much and cant wait to see him! I am thankful that he makes a huge effort to email and to send pics often! I am grateful that we are able to talk on the phone and have internet access! Modern technology has made this deployment so much easier! It also made it so that my amazing husband could send me these beautiful flowers the day after surgery!!!! What a sweetie!
