What is this, you ask? A pile of Army stuff on my floor? Yes. It actually looked worse in person! I have come to realize that deployment....................sucks. It gets dragged out. Of course, I don't know what would be worse, being able to plan for it or him to come home and say, "I leave in next week." I guess planning would be better, then you can actually get stuff done. But this is really a grieving process. I am glad that I am on medication! So take note people, anyone who is associated with the military and an impending deployment is in your future, no matter how short or long...................see your doctor NOW and ask for the pills that don't make you care anymore! OKAY?

Now it is all packed. There is a lot of stuff that has to go! Crazy! (yes, I am talking about me, not the stuff being crazy!) Thankfully my kids are older and can help around the house. Doing this with little ones would probably put me over the edge! And I really thought that I was a together Army spouse that always said, "no problem, we can this." I know that I will not be taken away in a straight jacket; it will be difficult, but we will get through it. I just need to get Glenn on the plane, so we can begin to get in our routine and start our countdown!
