Better the second time around

Well, the second time proved to be better than the first. We attempted to go out again and leave the kids without a sitter. (Now, let me remind you ...I can count on one hand how many times Dennis and I have been out since we've had kids.) We set some rules for the kids and decided to go out with some friends of ours to dinner and then to a comedy club. We thought it would be fun since neither of us had ever been to a comedy club and it was free (Terine had the free tickets), so what sounds better, right?
We met Kenny and Terine (a friend from work) for dinner. It was really nice, no phone calls during dinner. So, I thought either Ryan and Autumn had killed each other or they were actually following our rules ;-). I was so proud!!! Dennis kept looking at me as I was eyeing my phone, you know, just to make sure it was still working. Still it never rang. We actually enjoyed adult conversation and dinner for an hour and a half without Ryan or Autumn calling.
As we left dinner, I couldn't get to our car fast enough. I didn't want to call in front of our friends, I didn't want them to think I was paranoid....since they did notice me obsessing over my phone while they tried to hold adult conversation during dinner. So, as we were driving to the comedy club, I called home. I asked Ryan if everything was going alright. He stated that it was going great. I asked if he and Autumn were fighting. He said, "no, we are getting along great". Again, I was so proud of them for getting along so well. I asked what Autumn was doing. He said sleeping. She apparently had fallen asleep about 30 minutes after we had left and so Ryan had full reign of the TV, kitchen....anything he wanted. That would explain why they were getting along so well. I am not sure if Ryan would had volunteered that information if I hadn't asked what Autumn was doing. He is such a stinker. He really wanted me to believe that they were getting along. What a "good" kid....

Tomorrow is Ryan's first baseball game. It is just a practice game, but he is really excited. He has his baseball game at 9 and his basketball game at 11:30. I am not sure how we are supposed to pull it off, but I am sure we will manage.
Autumn only has one hour of dance tomorrow instead of 3, what a relief....
She is having so much fun with all of the dance she is doing. She dances so well....I don't know what she is going to do when we move. She loves this dance company so much and the girls and boys she dances with are great.....Hopefully, she will have the luck of going to another really good company.

We still don't know where we are moving to. We are playing the hurry up and wait game with the military right now. It would be nice to know where we are going. I am such a planner and to know that Dennis leaves in September (even though it is still 6 months away) and we still don't know we are moving to in the summer of 2009 is making me crazy. I am so much of a planner, I have 2 calendars at work, 2 calendars at home, a planner in my car and 2 other planners that I keep with me at all times....and they all coordinate. SICK, I know. I have to know what I am doing and when I am doing it; this not knowing stuff kills me. I guess it would be best if I didn't know that we were expecting orders and then they just appeared, that would be great. But to know that they are coming, you just don't know when, is what makes me ....AARRGGHHH!!!!! Now that I went off on a mini tangent, I will sign off.
