He's home!

Thank goodness he's home... Joey (my husband) that is.  It's been a hectic month and a preview of what deployment time will be like.  In the last month he's been home four times, never for more then 24 hours.  He wasn't able to communicate with me at all, so we couldn't plan anything for the short visits home.  When he came home this last time Annabella (our 4-year-old daughter) asked, "are you going to be home a lot of hours this time?".  Fortunately, he was able to say yes... for now.  We're definitly going to need to work something out for keeping in touch when he leaves for deployment - any suggestions?
Until he leaves we treat each minute we have together a little more special then we used to...

Hit the ground Running!

Today was my first day back to school in the 5th out of 6 semesters of the Respiratory Therapy program... and we're off!!  While Thursday was officially the first day of school - it was a clinical day so we had to do orientation, get the schedule, OSHA and HIPPA... all that fun.  Then I have Friday's off this semester.  So I was safe to enjoy my last weekend with Joey before his little trip... I thought.
We had a great weekend, all chores and housework aside - and even squeezed in some bowling and babyshower (where I met some great girls who invited me to be in their mommy club - how fun?).  Then Sunday night at 9pm I get a text message from a classmate saying - what are the chapters for tomorrow?  Excuse me... Monday is the first day of class - what are you talking about!?  So I made a panic-ish phone call to find out that we actually had chapters to read and assignments due the first day of class.  Are you kidding me, wow.  So after having one day of class I already have a group project, paper due next Monday, four chapters to read and complete chapter reviews on... and I still need to wash the dog and mow the lawn!  Oh, yeah and we're out of milk.
