Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me

Well, we are about 6lbs away from talking to a recruiter. The excitement is too much to handle. I was told yesterday that the wait time to leave for basic training will be 3-6 months. Hence why I am so anxious for James to enlist. I need some change. He's doing good, though, so I shouldn't complain.

I have kind of reached a plateau in my happy-ness these days. I feel like I'm trapped in a box and am itching to get out. On the one hand, I have a great job that pays me way too much. I love it, but I don't. I am ready to pursue something I can really excel at. What is that? I have no idea. We are blessed with a home that isn't too expensive, but basically we are getting what we pay for. Not so great... We have all managed to stay sick for several weeks and its getting old.

I think Cadence is scared of her room, too. She won't go to sleep in there anymore. I let her fall asleep with me, stick her in her bed, and between 1-3 am it is for sure that I will hear from her. She cries hysterically when she is in there awake. I don't believe in ghosts...but does she have one? Any advice for me?

Oh, and I hope everyone tuned in for American Idol last night. Archuleta totally stole the show...but I'm biased as I have loved him from the very beginning. Cook seems extremely self absorbed when the judges are praising him.
