the occasional blogger

Ok, so I WAS going to keep up with this blogging thing...HA! Apparently I am the "occasional blogger". A lot has happened since my last post. Hubby took that wonderful job and has been working for Halliburton in Iraq for almost a year now. He's home every other month and those have been the greatest months of my life. It's so nice to have all that time together but soooo hard when he's gone. Overall, we are happy with the choice we made. The boy is 6 now and just lost his 3rd tooth today. The girl is 2 and feisty as all get out. She definately keeps me on my toes. I am quickly approaching 30. I am happy with my life and my family. I am distancing myself from those that don't have anything positive to offer and I am HAPPY!! There is one thing that is bothering me right now. I didn't have "dad" in my life from the time I was two til just after the girl was born. He's barely in it now (my choosing). Hubby thinks I should give him a chance. He is sympathetic to the idea of a man screwing his life up and one day realizing that he needs to act right and really trying to get it together and get to know his daughters and grandchildren. I am not as sympathetic. I am so uncomfortable around "dad". I mean, can a man be absent from his daughters life til she's 28 and then come in and be a "dad". I am grown. I made it this far without him and I don't know if wanna let him in. Thoughts?!!
