Thankful Thursdays

I have lots of blogs that I like to read, mostly quilting blogs. Anyway there is one that I came across that she does a "Thankful Thursday" every week. So I am going to do the same. So here goes.... My list of thankful things

1. Matt is home from the field
2. This nasty cold is starting to go away
3. It is the first day of spring, I heard birds this morning!
4. Tomorrow is Friday
5. I wash is all done
6. None is the kids are sick!

Hope everyone has a Happy Easter Weekend!!

Care Team

Tonight is the start of all the unit FRG meetings about deployment. I hate going because they do not tell me anything new. But tonight I have to go because the CARE TEAM is being announced and I am on it. I have gone through all of the classes and have just one more to do. That one will be when a few spouses who lost their husbands come in and talk to us. Problem is I know both of them and one of them pretty well. I am not sure if I will be able to sit and listen to her. I still struggle a little about my choice to be on the care team. I have no problem going into a home and doing what needs to be done. My only fear is that it will be the team coming into my home. No matter how many classes we go through there is nothing that can prepair is to go through a door for the first time. Only time will tell how we all do with what we set out to do. I know that I will get a lot out of helping these wives. After 17 years of marriage and military I hope that I will be able to give them back even more. If there is anyone out there that has done this before how was it for you?

Well T and I are off to do stuff...

It's a Lonely'O Night

I have never been lonely when Matt has left for the field. I mean never. I have always liked the break. Not having to watch hunting and fishing shows. Getting to sleep on the right side of the bed. But when he left Sunday morning it really hurt and last night it was so quiet after the kids went to bed. No one to watch a movie with and eat popcorn.I know this is what I have to look forward to if you can call it that. With all the upcoming training and then the deployment. The last deployment was hard, but GOD GIVE ME THE STRENGTH to deal with all the day to day things with this one.
