Kaye S. commented on Karen Gallagher's group 'sub moms'
Happy day, AlexMom! Isn't it delightful when the 'karma' justice catches up with them?! All his life, I'd drag son back into the bathroom to point out all the places he'd skipped cleaning. "Can't you SEE this?," I'd say. Guess what crew he was on ...

Profile Information

About me:
Mom of a Nuke, who's serving on the sub USS ALABAMA in Bangor, WA. Still crazy in love with my hubby after 26 years. Daughter is still home; a Senior in high school. And sometimes I love my mini-schnauzer more than all of 'em!
I am here to support or represent my:
Son/Daughter
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I:
Needed to learn more about it
From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
Be a "sanctuary." Calling Mom should be a comfort. Try to always be upbeat, supportive, and on his side... he's got so many pressures and really needs only a cheerleader, not a coach.
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

Hi
We had a fast trip to Indy. Got in Wed. nite and left Fri. morning. Had a good time seeing my brother and sis-in-law. Also, all THREE daughters were home and looking absolutely fantastic.

You now have me crying at a Les Miz song again. Never thought of it in the military context. Wow! I first saw that musical in Chicago, and again in St. Louis. Talk about emotionally wiped out at the end.

Hope all is well. We heard from our sailor on Thanksgiving (How do I cook this?) and also today. I sometimes feel guilty he is still in S. Carolina. He was really talkative this morning and we were almost late to church. (I have 7:40 am prayer with our minister every Sunday.)

Take care--I promise to meet you this summer!

Kaye - thanks for your welcome. Wish I lived closer - I see you have a pretty active N4M group up there. I graduated from Decatur Central HS and my sister lives in Sheridan but goes to church in Avon at one of the Baptist churches there. Our best friends live in Plainfield. There is not many moms in the Mississippi group and none in the southern part of the state. The next time I get up that way I will have to check in and see if your group is doing anything. Keep in touch. I will definitely join the Sub moms. I joined the USS Memphis group, but they don't seem to be too active. Thanks again.

Hi Kaye,
Thanks for the note. I'm still adjusting to my son being gone and his empty room. Got his first call last night to say he's doing fine. I'm glad there's a site to share with other Mom's going through the same thing and loads of info. Take care.

Hi Kaye, Glad that you are feeling much better. I am still learning the Navy acroynms, (PIR)I did attend the graduation and I was so happy. The photo is on the mantle at my home as well as my mothers we are really happy that he survived. He is now in Groton. I think that he will be there a year. I am looking forward to my first visit there.
Take it easy, Kay

Hi Kaye! Thanks for your note; I hope you are feeling better. Everything in my life is incredibly busy and hectic, so I haven't been on the site much. I'm looking forward to seeing you at Red Lobster tomorrow evening. Regardless of what's going on at school, I'm "checking out" no later than 4:45 tomorrow. I definitely need some "Maggie time" with friends. Rick's schedule is just as hectic, so we decided since this Friday is our anniversary, we would make reservations at Eagle's Nest and treat ourselves to a great evening. See you tomorrow!!

Hi Kaye ~ Didn't want to let any more time pass before I told you I've been thinking about you and praying for your continued recovery. I know the time you spent with your son was precious. I'm getting some of that time now too! Hurray for homecomings! Also wanted to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. Bless you, Pickles

Hi Kaye, I just wanted you to know that my son graduated last week and he is now in Groton, Ct. I was so proud of him. I spoke to him yesterday and he was telling me it's really nice. I understand that you have been sick, I will be praying for your recovery.
