Hi all hope everyone is hanging in there. I have a question how do you get a pic on your page on here? Kinda off subject my I would like to share Adams pic too!
There is a link that says to add pictures and then you download them from your computer..I believe you can do it from your page by editing or from the main page on the top middle. :)
Hope your having an ok day, I am just exhausted today. Didn't sleep well last night, my mind wouldn't shut down. Tonight hopefully will be better :)
Hi Christy
Thanks for the tip. Yes I am exhausted also don't think I sleep more a than a couple hours a night maybe. Wow my mind is the same just keeps going like someone let the energizer bunny in there. But when I need to consintrate on something its mush. I think when we know where are kids are and hear from them then maybe we will be able to rest some.
today has been the worst day yet... i sat in a pile of his laundry as I was about to put it in the washer and just broke down.... thank god the mail wasn't running today. I wouldn't have been able to handle receiving that box...
Hi shannon, wow I know just hou ya feel I still have a flannel of Adams I wont wash because it smells like him, and I know this sound crazy but the first night he was gone I slept or at least lay awake in his bed and hugged all his blankies he keeps from childhood there. Oh I am afraid the box will come tomorrow............
We all sound the same, i am hoping your right Janeen ,when we finally hear from them we will be a lot more at ease. I feel like i am getting nothing done at home. I talked with my husband last night and he sounds so tired and ready to come home, i didn't want to breakdown on the phone with him so i remained strong. but as soon as i got off the phone, that was it. ah well...
Morning everyone Its 8:15 am here on the west coast I am waiting for my daycare kids to arrive, they don't come so early in the summer.
Has anyone been able to get any info on our sailors yet I know some of you are in a later time zone than me. Now that its Mail day my stomach is in knots. Is there a site where we can check on here who is assigned to what div? I found a graduation schedule but can even remember where that is now , I should have put it on favorites. Hugs to all of you and hope to see ya today Janeen
I sent you an email with some info ...I found out that my son is in Div 333 Ship 9... here is the webite with the grad info when you do find out the Div # and ship #. still didnt sleep well but hopefully now that my letters are going somwhere that will help...

Hi Christy thanks so much for the info. When did you son get to boot camp? Sorry to ask again but there are so many posts . Did you call his recruiter?
He got there the night of the 15th early morning on the 16th. I called his recruiter and have yet to get a call back. I called the number in the email and i got all his mailing info...i was so happy!!
Well they would not give any infor said due to privacy they couldn't . This is not fair!
No it's not! I am so sorry. I feel so bad! :(
