Bed Rest Adventures

So as you all know, i've been EXTREMELY sick all week... yesterday i woke up and felt ON TOP OF THE WORLD!!! so i was an idiot and WAAAAAY overdid myself.. so here i am, Sunday morning, without enough strength to get out of bed and cook me some food (although my stomach is CLEARLY telling me that i must do so SOON, or risk death.) I just got off a Skype call with Kat, we've skyped everyday now this week, i know i've said this before, but skype is the best invention EVER!!! and i am having a Skype date with Lauren a little later and we are having a craft night (via skype) so excited!

So i'm laying in bed skyping with Kat this morning, When Deezul walks in, and has that look in his eye like "WE HAVEN'T PLAYED IN FOREVER, AND YOU'RE THE MOST BORING MOM IN THE WOOOOORLD!!!" So i lured him onto the bed, and we began to have an intense wrestling match while on skype. he is so fricken smart! he likes to attack my feet under the covers, so i'll kick him over and over in the mouth (not HARD, just enough to get in his way and but the crap out of him) and he'll flip out, grab the blanket with his teeth and PULL so he can uncover my feet and get me back... we went at this for a good 15 minutes, then he began panting beyond control, so i told him to go get some water... and now he is PASSED OUT on the bed. man i should have been doing this all week! i forgot how exhausted he gets after playing for a while like that. and now that i'm feeling ALOT better (i think tomorrow i can give living in the real world another shot) i think i'll have to take him on a big long Walk. he needs it.

when they say that Dog is man's best friend, i THOUGHT i understood what they meant by that... but i think until you are the spouse of a deployed marine, you don't FULLY grasp it. anybody that really KNOWS me here, will tell you that they can't imagine me without Deezul. i take him everywhere. i'll be out to dinner with Steph or over at Sam's and say something about being excited to go home and snuggle with Dee. he's my baby boy, he's got more personality than i thought possible in a dog. he is spoiled, and i'll fully admit that. but he's also really well behaved... if only we could break the "jumping up" habit (i'm working on it i SWEAR!!!)

When i have to go long periods of time without talking to Rye, i think i would lose my mind if i didn't have him. Riley is afraid that Dee won't remember him when he gets home... Deezul whines and howls to Riley's ringtone... i have every confidence that those two will pick off where they left, Rye will see the amazing personality that has started to show in Dee... They'll become best friends, and until next deployment... i'll be the third wheel.... ya probably... we'll see.
