Just a quick note. Things are going well around here. I’ve started seeing a psychologist which has helped a ton. She is helping me through lots of different things. I am going to start keeping a paper journal again. There are some things that I need to write that I don’t need the world seeing. Plus I miss doing it. I kept a journal a lot when I was younger. It is fun to go back and read it now.
Laura seems to never stop growing. She still isn’t walking, but I’m fine with that. It is easier to keep track of her this way. Her eating habits are changing. She doesn’t seem to be eating as much as she used to. She has one of her molars popping through (about half of it is through) and another tooth working its way up. I’m guessing that is contributing to the lack of eating. I try to make sure she gets a balanced diet. I don’t stress about it too much though.
Things with Robert are going really well right now. Not that they were bad before, but it seems like we are geting in touch with each other again. Just tonight I was remembering back to when we first started dating. warm fuzzies 
I won’t be working the rest of this week since schools aren’t in session. I’ll probably head to Woodbury to pick up the curtains we ordered. I’ll also pick out a present for Owen’s first birthday (Laura’s cousin). Other than that, not too much is planned. It would be nice to catch up with some friends that I haven’t talked to in a while.
I am thinking about trying out a MOPS group or some other mom group. I think it would help me if I was around more people my age and in my situation. I love my friends dearly, but most of them just don’t understand what it is like to have a child. I find it interesting that the friends that I do have that have kids close to Laura’s age are a bit older than I am (I think they are all at least 5 years older). Not too many “young” (read under 25) moms around anymore. 
Makes it hard to know where you fit in.
Last weekend I went home to spend time with Mom. It was so goo to be home and not have any demands on me. We could just have a lazy weekend and enjoy each other’s company. Today Tamara, Mom, and Dad are out East. They are going to John’s officer graduation. I wish I could be there. I feel like I miss out a lot with him. I didn’t get to welcome him home from Iraq, I won’t see him graduate, and I won’t get to be at his going away party. I hate missing out. He is coming up next week though to spend the day with me. I don’t know what we’ll do yet, but I’m sure it’ll be fun. Just being with him will be great. I haven’t decided yet if Laura will spend the day with us or if I’ll send her to daycare (even for a half day). We’ll play it by ear.
Time to head to bed. I don’t know what tomorrow holds.
