The Journey Home

Carl called me tonight as I was wandering through a beauty supply store. He was calling from a country that does not have mortars, people shooting at soldiers or too much sand. Until that moment I can't say that I 100% believed he was really coming home. So, there I was in Sally's sitting on the... Sign in to see full entry.

Preparing For The Homecoming

I apologize for being lax on keeping up with everyone but I am busy trying to get everything ready for Carl to come home. Today, I went to Nikki's as she was being interviewed for the paper. Being due the 15th with their first child and going through her pregnancy without the father I expect Marc... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm Being Selfish...SO WHAT???

So over the past few days I have been getting calls from Jim and Katie. (Township Supervisor and his wife who think they get to run my life). They had this "great" idea. "How would Carl like a crowd to meet him when he comes home." So, after catching my breath from choking on the tea I was drinking,... Sign in to see full entry.

What Am I Gonna Write About When Carl Gets Home

Maggie asked me what am I going to write about when Carl gets home. To be honest, I plan to spend the next 6 months or so pretending there is no such place as Iraq and trying to forget that he is in the military or the very real chance that this will not be his last deployment before he retires. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Thanksgiving

Well, Carl safely reached the first leg of journey toward home yesterday. He is still in Iraq, but a bit closer to getting the hell out of there than he was. I was a bit worried today as he had promised to call me and that call never came. He finally got online late tonight (or morning his time) and... Sign in to see full entry.

Thanksgiving In Mayberry! UGH!

So, I was supposed to go to Buck and Pam's tonight but it seems that Michigan is under a strom warning and Mayberry has yet to salt the roads, I just sat here in my livingroom and watched a full sized truck with 4X4 on the side slide all over the road. Soooo, y'all are stuck with me tonight as I... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm climbing the walls!

OK, given the local paper has been given the information, I suppose I can say a little bit of something here. My soldiers should be home in about two weeks. There is something happening today that I don't want to say anything until it's done and over. I'd rather err on the side of caution on this.... Sign in to see full entry.

Getting Closer

Well we are getting very close to the time that Carl will be arriving home. I am down to counting days versus weeks or months. (ok there is more than a week but much less than a month left). I haven't been around because it seems I have been busier than I could have ever imagined being. It seems a... Sign in to see full entry.

I Don't Care If He Is In A Combat Zone He Can Be A Butthead!!

I love the man, I adore him but grrrrrrrrrrrrrr he can make me so mad somedays. Last night Carl and I had a minor disagreement...ok rephrase, he was being pissy and took it out on me. The problem with this is he went off in a snit and left me helpless do anything but get madder and madder. For the... Sign in to see full entry.
