Momof2sailors,
Grafton sounds like a perfect destination for me!!! Now, unless you want to try to do this in the next three days, I'm leaving bright and early Friday morning to fly to VA to visit my son who just returned from Afghanistan. I will be back after Mother's Day!!! (yes, I will get to spend Mother's Day with one of my children, which I haven't had the opportunity to do since 2009!!!) Once I'm back I would be available just about any day of the week. And God willing - we will still have spring weather!!!!!

Anna my husband who drives the state everyday) said Grafton would be a good halfway point. Exit right off I43. I will ask him the name of a good place to meet for lunch! I work until 12:00, but I could definitely head out at that time for a lunch! It is so overdue!!
-

Oh I agree!!! Momof2sailors - what a positive spin on things!!!
We really need to plan that lunch get together now!!!! You probably know this area better than me - any ideas of a good halfway point between you and Oak Creek??

You don't want to know what I think....but it's what Anna said times two at very least. These dumb arse boys....where did they come from? Sadly hers isn't only one...I am betting lots of us have stories so we can totally understand. Just remind her she is getting out cheap...before lots of years are invested. Grrr. Let her know we moms are all here for her and you too.
Oh yeah....happy Easter

OMG Catsmom,
I am so, so sorry!!! He is not deserving of her that's for sure. He should be ashamed of his actions, and I hope it comes around to bite him in the a$$!!! Please wrap your Momma arms around her and tell her I am praying for her peace, comfort, and strength to carry on. I just can't believe him - does he think she has a phone in her rack she can just pick it up and call him whenever he needs???? What an idiot!!! Can she sue him for the money he wasted while she was gone?? Stay strong for her and let her have an outlet to vent. I am so sorry she has to go through this after serving on deployment.
