the puppies are from the Buffalo, MN humane society - they go back to the shelter on Feb. 24 if they are big enough to spay/neuter.

@proudnavymom-- I think it is a good idea so many of us are or will be alone-- we could make a game military life or navy life like farmville donate some of the proceeds and then buy our town on the rest

this is how I keep myself busy -- I foster puppies and kittens from the humane society and I volunteer every other week at the shelter.  here are the newest fosters that I have -- just got them yesterday - three 7 weeks old rat terrier mix

Ok I have an idea for all navy moms who are alone now let's all move into a town. We will take care of each other in our old ages support each other only minimal alone time during the day(just like when the kids were home). Big family gTherins when anyones kids cane home and we would love each otter no matter whatjustlike when the kids were home-- I know like a real life farmville

It is too quiet in this house. I am watching Bourne Identify and thinking of seeing it years ago with my sons as a family. Now it's me and the dog watching it, it's still a good movie, but not quite the same!

@Blanche I remember when my daughter was born 32 years ago at birth it was finally right I was a mom college and every thing else was like good but not into my soul. I needed to be needed. When my son left I have an empty spot not in my soul but.... We need to be needed then we somehow have to learn to let them go so they csn be fulfilled and needed-- I guess there in lies the circle of life

@salsbor. My son was told in bc that he was going to be put back 2 weeks for graduation. This is how he tells the story-- I was waiting for a dental a ppt and was told to wait in my room. The next thing I know I woke up with the master Sargent leaning over me -- he said his next thought was oh sh-t. He said the master Sargent yelled and yelled at him then told him he was not going to grsduate until 2 weeks later if at all. Well we had bought our plane tickets and our sailor knew this. He said is there any other way because my parents will kill me (we had spent a good deal of money). Master sergeant said 2hours of intensive training . My sailor said strange thing I don't even want a nap anymore. Lol

I finally got a video postcard from my sailor.  She's doing well I think but it almost looked like she was on the verge. of tears.  I got a phone call that lasted only about 2 minutes but it was so good to hear her voice.  She's out of communication while on deployment for extended periods of time.  I've been trying to stay busy by remodeling the house and we foster for lab rescue.  My most recent puppy just got adopted and I had to sit and have a good cry.  I think part of it is that as she's growing up, she doesn't need me as much.  I'm a mom.  I need someone to need me.  Fostering helps.  Maybe  others out there like me should consider their options in their community.  I also help older neighbors.  Even with all this activity and having our own business, I'm still having trouble sleeping.  I sometimes wake up with an anxious feeling and my first thought is Is she Ok?  Does time help this?

salosbor, how long has your son been at bootcamp?  It is very typical that the first few weeks, the divisions have trouble working together and wouldn't be surprised that they are all threatened with you might not graduate on time if you don't shape up. 

I will pray for your son and his division along with the family that lost their son and the sailors that were with him - what a terrible accident.
