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.

King for a day, or a year???... Calgon please take me away

King Doyle!

I thought that you all might like to see these pictures of Doug. One is in a former rulers chair and the other is the "Phantom Warrior".

Man what a day... I am running on three hours of sleep. The day has went by so slow and I cannot wait to chat with Doug tonight and go to sleep. Although it will not be restful sleep since I will be getting Gracie up at least once in the night to go potty, it will be more than I had last night.
Gracie had a bit of a rough first day here at the house. I was so excited to introduce Ike and Gracie. He was like a bull in a china shop and she was just scared. She looked like a baby alligator going after Ike whenever he tried to play. I sat on the couch in tears for a while, from exhaustion, frustration (from yesterday) ahhhh just one of those days... I talked to Doug and he reassured me it would be fine and to give her time, she had not even been here 24 hours.
So after she went for her well check up at the Vet's I tethered Ike to the coffee table so he could not go full force at her, and that seemed to be the ticket - Thanks Doug!
So she would run circles around him and he would catch her and they would play and then she would run off and it would start all over again.
Well Ike is outside running off some steam, Gracie is sleeping and Seth has went to his friends playing video games with a friend.
I sit here in enjoying a few moments of peace and quiet, but grateful for the end of a long day... Calgon??? Are you listening?
