Another day

So I sit and type.... Not much to say just needing to vent I guess. The house has been so quiet since Dean went back. Grace is really excited about Christmas this year. I am trying to explain to her that "santa" can not possibly bring you everything you see on the tv so you need to pick a few things. Well that doesn't sit so well when you are 3 and every time the tv is on you are bombarded every commercial with the new fun toys!!! By the way... what happen to Thanksgiving?? I feel like it is completely being overlooked. I know that the retail stores put stuff out earlier every year but man I feel like we are completely skipping Turkey this year.
I met a very nice lady at the holiday market whose daughter lives in Germany the same place we are going in Feb. She told me that it was like a fairy tale over there. Castles, old ruins and all I can think is that there is no wal mart. I know we are going to Europe and I am excited but very anxious as well. Everyone I talk to tells me the same thing. It is a huge adjustment to living in the states. What so you do if you need something in the middle of the night?? My hubby keeps telling me " we aren't going to a third world country, It's Germany" I know this... just big changes I don't do so well. Oh and the house don't have closets. I don't know why they just don't have them, so the military will issue us wardrobes for the time we are there.
Well I must get the little one in bed. She is on her last Dora for the evening. " backpack, backpack!!!"Good nite
