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.

The most interesting question I get asked

I was thinking about this question today that so many people, including my family have asked me. Bear in mind it is usually when Doug is coming home, not leaving.
The question: So this will be his last time to do, right?
I wonder what makes people ask that question. Please do not find me rude if you have asked me this before, I just find it interesting and funny!!
After a small pause of **are you serious?** I just respond, "who knows"?! I mean here we are five tours later and I see people with substantial rank and NO combat patch. Now people have asked me why he has to go so much, I worry less about that and wonder how this yay-who has NEVER gone! Really? This war has been going on for a long time - lets all do our fair share, right?
At any rate, I think I am just being cranky tonight because it is my first night home without Doug or Seth. Seth is 17 and needs to hang out with his friends, but I am just a little touchy I guess.
It could be worse!
Good night....
