Blondie, that is what I tell her all the time, Call anytime. And when she called early she always says I am sorry...LOL and I tell her I am not...LOL
Jean, hope the week picks up. And you get some sleep.
So I am starting the school year as manager. Got a phone call yesterday from the person over our school telling me the job had posted. And yesterday was the last day to apply..told her I did, she said good...not sure that means it will be mine or not. But they won't be interviewing until after school starts. So I am starting that way..LOL. So fingers crossed.

Well my hard work is paying off. After all the sorting and cleaning out I packed up about 8 boxes and then I just have some furniture pieces. Couch and table, tv stand, and some bookcases. Still have a few odd things in the garage to gather up and vacuum the carpets since we're putting the vacuum in storage.
Welcome to our new moms!! Elenasmom, my son is an IS also. He's been in over 10 years. 4 as an AO and 6 as an IS. He's just put in for officer so we're waiting to hear. We're here to help you get through this deployment! Wish I could help you with that hobby!!!
Glad to hear everyone else is doing well. Soon as I get back next week, I'm looking forward to really being able to catch up with everyone!!!!!
