I was talking to a friend of mine today. She called to check up on me because I kind of disappeared yesterday. I was taking it very easy because of the headache and the tiredness and after talking to Mom I just finished up a couple episodes of Smallville (remind me to wax poetic about that series, will ya?) and went straight to bed – did not pass go, did not collect $200.
I’d had a good morning … I was ..read more

It’s been a whirlwind 2 weeks.
Hubby came home on R&R on the 11th …
The Friday before, I spent most of the day with his aunt in Austin – apartment hunting for her and my very first visit to an IKEA store. On Saturday, I spent the day scouring the places in the house that hadn’t seen scouring for a while … places like window screens, etc. I was exhausted Saturday night, but managed to sleep well enough to be in ..read more

This week is quite easily one of the worst weeks yet, in this deployment – for dozens of reasons.
Today, though, I was brought face-to-face with a very obvious fact. My friends love and appreciate me.

It was a pretty bad weekend. Weekends are ..read more

Since we haven’t been told which day exactly hubby is leaving, we sit and wait this week … wait for a phone call. One phone call that could come at any time – night or day – that will forever change our lives. It sounds dramatic, but I tell you that it is not untrue nor is it overstated. This deployment has already changed us in ways that I don’t know that I would see normally. If it were not ..read more
