I also heard moms make extra copies (take extra copies with them). When we travel - I often take a bright color plastic jacket with dividers. I always take the instruction book for the camera and review briefly before the big day. I take a number of maps and I have a list of cities with the highest crime rate (to avoid) if I am traveling to a big metropolitan. I also have in the folder insurance cards, phone numbers of credit bureaus and credit card info (numbers scrambled) and phone numbers…

I would be the same way at church too. I haven't been to church since he left because I ended up moving an hour away from my church so I don't go as often as I would like. I have been trying to find one where I live but you know there is no place like your home church. :)

I know the feeling. I take my phone everywhere...literally. If I realize that I left it sit somewhere I feel as though I'm gonna have a panic attack. I sit there and say "Oh my gosh, where's my phone" and in my head I'm just going crazy trying to figure out where I left it, saying to myself "what if called and I missed", like truely in a panic. I take it outside with me, to the bathroom, I lay it next to my head when I do to bed, to work, in meetings with the boss (thankfully he is…

I take it outside with me, to the bathroom, I lay it next to my head when I do to bed, to work, in meetings with the boss (thankfully he is understanding enough to allow me to do this). I had to go to the Family Court (I work for an attorney) yesterday and the guard said I had to turn my phone off. I turned it off, went straight to the bathroom and turned it right back on. I don't know what I'm gonna do this Friday. I am flying out to Kansas to see a friend of mine and we all know that you can't have your cell phone on while your on the plane. I have a 2 hour layover but during the time I am flying I'm going to be going crazy thinking I missed his call. grrr Hey, there's an idea.

<strong>Don't worry</strong>, they'll be discharging your daughter real soon - there's a rule at BC - beautiful girls get sent home immediately for the group to have any chance of getting through the program. What is she doing there anyway? Why isn't she a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader or Ford model? We live in CA, my younger son lives/works in ND. He got here on Sat. Hubby is driving him to the airport.The time just sped by and I am pissed! Otherwise, I'd be asleep instead of pounding on this…

Thanks so much for the support. Sorry it took a bit for me to respond. I'm still learning my way around the site. I received his box yesterday. I was full of emotion. I threw all this clothing in the wash. Well all except his shirt. It smelled of him and I found that to be comforting. My youngest son (17 years/ Navy ROTC) says he is going to check me into the nut farm....lol.

It's a day by day, moment to moment process Kimberly.....I also have dealt with lose of babies. I worry about Dan as well. I know he is in God's hands and I pray everyday for him, it does help. Being on the website and looking at other discussions has really helped me also. It doesn't mean I've stopped crying...cuz I sure haven't, but it's good to know their are other moms out there who feel the same way.

I remember telling Eaglemom that it would get better oh many many moons ago when her sailor first went in. She read me the riot act. Told me I should not deny someone the opportunity to feel their pain. I thought to myself, "What a bitch!" and steer clear of her for a year. LOL I am so glad we finally got together; otherwise, I would not have met a wonderful and compassionate lady. The spectrum of emotions is very wide. We just have to roll with it. Take care moms. BQB.

<p>Hi ktzmom02,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am lost as well. My son is almost 21 and he left for boot camp on 8/17.....I cry all the time!!! I also have 2 younger children at home, 1 is 11 and the other is 9. My son and I have never gone more then 1 day without talking to each other....boot camp feels like an eternity. I am waiting hopefully everyday to get something in the mail from him. I am hoping it will get easier as the time goes on.</p>
