Time

Hey, the hubby is home. But…..he is laboring. Yep….he is putting that wood floor in the girls room. He started on it last night and got nearly half done. Perry was at school and the girls and I sat watching “Roots” while eating homemade pudding I made for the occasion. Yep, we females have it rough around here.

Spoke to Erin yesterday. They have begun the medical process of sending her over. Her arm felt like it was going to fall off from all the inoculations she was given. She started talking about some of the ailments that they end up with over there from things such as bug bites. Nasty business. And I am forever freaked out about the stories of camel spiders.

Still need to find a camera and STILL need to research the best kind of webcam to get. I’m hoping to get a smidge of time to visit with her in this way. Of course whatever time she is given for that sort of thing Jerry has to come first. I’ll settle for whatever scraps we can get. Maybe that is why I am also starting to get more disciplined about the blog. It is just another way for the two of us to stay in touch given the serious time difference we will be in.

It still runs through my mind how she will be over in Iraq for her birthday, Thanksgiving, her wedding anniversary, Christmas and New Years and who knows how long into the year. Funny how we sort things out by the calendar like that isn’t it?

Well, I have errands to run. By the time I get back I’ll have to lend a hand putting furniture back in a room I’m sure. My man is handy and efficient. Not one to dally about.
