Sorry about no emails

Sorry that I haven't sent you emails the last couple of days. I've meant to, but forgot at the end of the day. And ususally at the end of the day people are waiting for me to go eat or something. I don't have any time, it seems. Last night I was at work until about 10:30! That's way past your bedtime!

I stated up the Battleship spreadsheet. G6 is a miss. Here's my first shot at you: A2.

I'm glad that you're feeling better. I hope that whatever you have, you don't give it to Daddy or Balen. And I hope that you stay better! I keep behaving well! I love to hear about how good you are being. I know that it's tough to always listen to Daddy and do what he says. But that's just what I need you to do. I feel happier and do a better job here in Iraq when I know that you are listening to Daddy. Then I don't have to worry about what Daddy has to do to get you to behave. Then I can concentrate better on my job. See what I mean? It's important to me - even way over here on the other side of the world - that you be a good girl.

Please give Daddy and Balen a hug for me. And tell Daddy to give you a piece of chocolate from me - even if you don't have desserts or you haven't had your dinner yet or whatever. If you've already brushed your teeth for bed, maybe you should wait until tomorrow though.

Gotta get to work! There's so much to do around here! Aaaaa! So much work to do!

I love you all,
Mommy
