hot hot hot!

wow!! it is sooo hot in florida right now! we have had the first full week with jay being gone, and we are fairing well! he was allowed to call me for 5 minutes on sunday! wow...i've always thought that even 1 minute is a lot longer than we all think...but now i feel differently! 5 minutes talking to jay(which basically sounded like, "hey babe! i love you! i miss you!" and jay.."i love you to. ok i have to go now!") to be honest, we got to say a little more than that, but not too much.

the kids are doing pretty well, but they are now starting to cry extra hard when they get in trouble or get hurt. and without fail it always ends with, "i miss my daddy!". so, with the idea from another friend, i have gotten a jar full of hershey kisses (1 for everyday that jay is gone). We eat 1 every night before bed..."chocolate kisses fromm daddy!" (thank you deanna for the idea!) we also made chore charts yesterday so that the kids can earn stickers every day for their certain chores and then at the end of the week they will get paid for .50 cents for every sticker they have on theire chart for the week! so they will both have the chance to get $3 a week...cause i'm on ly mkaing them do Mon thru Fri. chores. we will see how it works out!

overall, we are blessed. can't wait to find a place of our own! that's the next order of business!!
