Day 1

Well, it is now the end of day one. We had a few episodes of barf, a few tears, and lots of hugs and kisses. Rachel told me once today, "I want Daddy to come home!" When I told her that he can't, she insisted "He can!"
Even though he's gone, my Jakie is still taking care of me. He bought some Girl Scout cookies before he left and told me about them today. He told me he bought them so we could have something to be happy about today. Isn't he so sweet! I just love that boy!
Something funny that happened with Rachel today: Rachel has been super sick for a few days and hasn't had much of an appetite, so I let her pick what we would have for dinner tonight. Her choice? Green eggs and ham. But not just normal green eggs and ham, she asked for "an other color of green eggs and ham." She wanted "blue green eggs and ham. :) So blue green eggs and ham it was. After dinner she started coughing and couldn't stop and it made her throw up because she was coughing so hard. I felt so bad for her. The funny part was that she was sad about throwing up her green eggs and ham and she wanted to eat more of them right after she had thrown it up.

I feel so sad for my sick little girl! I really hope she gets better soon. It breaks my heart to see her be so sick and miserable.

Over all we had a pretty good day though. Everyone was happy and we got to talk to Jacob on the phone. I would say it was a good first day. Hopefully we can keep our attitudes as happy the rest of the time he is gone.
