    Where are you now? I wish I knew. I know that you are in the travel stage but have no idea where or when I will hear from you. The not knowing is driving me nuts! I can't believe that it is finally here. You have been away from us for 16 months now...

  • 2 more months and your out of Iraq!

  • Enough already!

    OK...I am definately done. It has been a year now and I can't stand it any longer. I am tired of being a single mom, tired of going to games everyday and homework battles. I am tired of having all the responsibility. Without my mother I think I would...

  • A Lazy Sunday

    After such a busy week, the boys and I are just hanging around today. It is so nice to not have anything that HAS to be done for a change. Being busy is definitely the best thing to try to keep my mind off you. Somehow though, even in the middle of complete...
