Thanks for stopping by, follow me through my year!

Well this is all pretty exciting for me. I am new to the "blogosphere" but thought I would document my journey through another deployment.
This is the fifth deployment for my husband, and each one is different and difficult in its own way.
There are many men and women out there just like me; spouses, fathers, mothers, sisters brothers, and children. So many of us that put our lives in a bit of a holding period waiting for our loved ones to come home.
For most of us, we know the sacrifice our soldiers pay, as well as the sacrifice each of us pays while they are gone!
For better or for worse, we keep the home fires burning.

I was MIA

It has been a few days....
First of all Friday was a good day, Seth passed his road test and is now official - an official driver in the great state of Texas! Happiness and sadness all in one. I am so excited for Seth to hit this milestone (finally) but sad knowing things will change somewhat in the house. Today was the first day in almost 3 years at Harker Heights High he did not need a ride home. If not me, then Doug or an occasional neighbor to pick Seth up, but not today he drove himself to school and back home! All in all, it is a good and necessary thing, so there are no tears - just reflection on the years.
I spent most of Saturday in the yard, pulling weeds and trimming back bushes. Honestly, my arms were just too sore to type on Saturday.
Illness took over about 0300 on Sunday AM and I spent the day ill on the couch. What a waste of a day. I hate to see the sun shining and my butt unable to move off the couch. Seth and I finally watched The Blind Side, so not a total waste I guess.
A fun day of study all about Gregor Mendel... genes, peas, inheritance, genetic disorders... where does the fun end? Treating puppies to pumpkin? Testing out all sprinkler heads to get ready for spring and a higher water bill? Training two puppies to walk on a dual leash...the fun never ends!
It was really a good day but how else can you look at a day of feeling human after feeling like walking death the day before... well you have to be grateful for feeling good again and everything seems wonderful!
It seems like when it rains it pores... That is the kind of weekend I had, so here's to a great week ahead. I find out tomorrow how I did on my biology exams... no wishing me luck at this point!
