Italy is looking really good right now... It's almost midnight, and I'm still awake. I actually went to bed around 10:30 but ended up just laying there. Hubby is underway again this week... all week, and it's only Tuesday. Today started out as a "poopy" day, as my friend so perfectly puts it. I woke up with a stuffy nose, scratchy throat, and congested sinuses. If I'm catching that same cold again, I'm going to be pissed. I didn't even want to get out of bed. So I just laid there until My Baby Girl finally woke up crying, and then I finally got up, but I still felt like crap.

So the baby watched her normal shows and I watched her watch her shows. The baby played with her toys and with things she wasn't supposed to have. I watched her play... and then took away the other things: mail, my cellphone, the remote. lol. I started to feel a little better.

I got online and ended up talking to my good friend L. She was feeling poopy today too, so I convinced her to come over and we went out geocaching for a few hours. It was fun, and My Baby Girl was very well behaved. I was actually surprised. She entertained herself in the backseat and never got fussy until we were almost home. L stayed for a little while longer, and after she left I fed My Baby Girl and put her to bed. Checked my email probably about a dozen times, sent about four emails to him today, but haven't heard anything in response yet. I can't wait for him to get home. I'm so glad we're going to miss the next deployment, and I can't wait for Italy. Three years of shore duty. God, that sounds so good.  ¶ 11:50 PM
