Here We Go Again

 The base is beginning to lock down again. I am allowed to go from home to the base and back only, and horror of horrors, the beaches are again closed. Almost everything off-base is off-limits. Yay.

It is not as if I have been enjoying any freedom anyway. June has me laying or reclining somewhere. It is difficult at times to sit up enough to see my laptop. Especially since I usually do not have one. lol (well, it is funny to me) I believe Chao lei is becoming weary of being Mommy's little helper and is considering himself as Mommy's little gopher. He asks when his father returns and is not happy with "I do not know."

I thought for a time last night that June had decided to come now. I was only moments from calling Dorothy or an ambulance. A week early is not so bad but I wish Jared as much time as possible to return so he is present for one of his children's birth. He was in Japan for a few days only not here. That is a cruel thing to discover. "They are in Sasebo" is not what this mother wishes to hear.

When Jared does get home, he has much to do. The baby's bed remains in the box it arrived in. His plans for the baby's room have not even begun. I believe it is to make up for those things not being done that he is still buying June clothes. I fear if he does not stop she will have clothes she will never wear. Her closet now contains more clothing than mine, though to be honest, that is not an accomplishment. She has more shoes than Chao lei and me combined. I have asked him to slow his purchasing but "She would be just too cute" in them.

My wish for the day is for Jared to get home. Now. It will be then that I can present June with no feelings of guilt that he missed another one. Then again... Jared's treatment of me the last time he missed was phenomenal. No... we will wait... hopefully.

  1. Oh, Mei. I'm so sorry you're stuck doing this all alone! I hope Jared comes home soon and that sweet June can stay put just a wee bit longer!
