We are getting so much closer to the end. I am nearly into counting days instead of weeks, and I can't wait for that! Right now, the girls and I mark off one week at a time on the calendar, but, I think after this weekend, I am going to move that down to marking off every two days. We are still a little far out for a daily count down, but this would be a nice bump for us!
I am so ready for my husband to come home, it is ridiculous. I'm ready to hand back over control of so many little things, let alone having someone to help with the kids. I want to quit taking out the trash. That would be great. More than anything, though, I hate car stuff, and I can't wait to have him home to take care of it. In fact, I really need my oil changed, and yes I am well aware of the fact that I can take it to Wal-Mart and have them change it while I shop, but that isn't the point. I want him to get back and take care of it for me.
Ahhh..never take your spouse and all the little things for granted.

Change in Title
I have come to the realization that I am very ready to start a new chapter in my life. I want to be a retiree's wife. I know I still have another 3 years, but man do I have short timer's attitude. I'm not if I can maintain for the next 3 years!

A Date!
We have a date!
We were finally given a homecoming date! This has been a ridiculous ride as far as finding out when our loved ones will be home. We were going on a 4 month window for homecoming. Yes! It was actually going to be anywhere from June to September, but thankfully, we got it narrowed down.
Now, this date isn't st in stone, but it is as concrete as anything within the military can be. I fully expect it to slide a day or two as they progress a little more or a little less, but still, it give us something to finally count down to!
And, it feels like a weight has been lifted.
I am beyond excited.

Now is not the time
When you have been deployed for 3.5 months,
When your wife has been at home alone with 2 children, ages 5 and 2,
When she has only hired a baby sitter two times in those 3.5 months,
And has been without a break for over 2 months,
When she is at her wits end and ready to snap,
That is not the time to tell her that you want to re-enlist and stay in the military for another 3 years.
Not the time.
