Second Week

The second week of seperation is always easier. Last week, getting readjusted I thought I was going to lose my mind. Not to mention a nonsleeping baby. This week, I feel like we are getting into a routine with our activities and Mr. G is getting on a better nap/ sleep schedule. Makes for a much happier Mom.

The boys started school today. They both missed Mr. G a ton and told him on the way home they were so excited to see him. They both played with him a ton. I think he was also looking for them today. As I heard him screaming, trying to get someones attention. He is sitting on my lap, sucking my arm as I type. I wish those darn teeth would just pop in.

I have made a connection with a gal that has written a book about being a military wife. Her book is Behind the Blue Star Banner. We have been emailing back and forth and I think I may have gotten the guidance I need to finally write that book this year. Some of you may have remembered that I started it back during the last deployment. Of course after the deployment was over and I thought my husband would NEVER be leaving again... it got put on the back burner. We will see. I am excited to be working on trying to get her to come and speak to our wives and parents. I am also working on a Walk to Afghanistan project to get our Marine's communities behind us and them. Everyone will be able to participate, even stroller riders!
