We have lost six friends on this war. Today is a day to remember them and not to forgot anyone who has ever given their life for our freedom. As I sit here waiting for Hubby to come home and not overdo things, I can not help but to think of those six families who have to live each day with out their husband, father, son and brother. I am so grateful Hubby has come home safe each time, but today my heart aches more for the families who lost someone who gave their all for me and mine. I thank those people and wonder if they will be able to find peace and joy again. My heartfelt thanks to the many who gave all for my freedom.

Well, hello everyone. How is the world going out there? I got so sick and tired of hearing news I turned it off and throw it away after I read the comics. Other important things were and are happening in my life at the moment. Hubby is coming home, Moma is rocking through chemo, finals had to be taken (3 Bs and 1 C), the Kiddos need me, and of course the friends I have learned to open my heart to.

I have not had many women friends in y life. I have learned some thought and still think I am bossy and intimidating. I have five wonderful kiddos, I have to be these things. I just need to learn to back off from it a little bit, not to much because it will change the essence of who I am. Hubby and the Kiddos love me this way so I am OK with it now.

The past few weeks have been easy and hard on me at the same time. We were given an early homecoming date and it was taken away in a span of 12 hours. That is ok because hay it is the Army.

The Kiddos have been rocking. Big Man, my heart, has been on a med that is doing wonders for him. The side effects are nil and he loves it. It is nice to know after fighting so long with teachers and professional educators that I was never crazy and Big Man has a missing link. Sweetness is wonderful. She has new friends and is ready for Daddy to be home. The three boys are awesome. They are truly my glue at the end of this deployment. If I did not have to love on them so much and help them through these last few weeks I would probably be a basket case.

Overall, life here has been good. The missing piece is coming home and I have time to unfry my brain and get back into school come August.
