Comment by GodBlessAmerica on May 28, 2012 at 6:11pm: Dor, I have you and the boys in my prayers. After dropping my sailor off at the airport, I went to get the grandson a little swimming pool for when he comes over during the summer. I try to get him once a week. Since the weather has already been so warm, I figured we would get a lot of use out of the pool.

This was my sailor's first trip home. I did go to PIR and saw him off to GC. For some reason, this time was a little harder than it was the first time. I didn't cry, but I did have tears that welled up. I don't know why I thought it would be a little easier.

Hope you all have had or are having a Great Memorial Day!

Comment by GodBlessAmerica on May 27, 2012 at 11:01pm: Thanks MN mom. My sailor did tell me that he wanted to spend a lot of time with his friends this weekend since they are are all home from school. When he gets done with Aschool, most will be back in school. It's just that i thought I would see him for a few minutes. Seriously, I have had longer telephone conversations with him. It was nice to hear one of the friends say thanks for everything. You are one of the best moms. I guess they always count on mom to just be there.

Personally, the first time I heard my son say that he was talking on the phone to us while doing his laundry and his ironing. I laughed. I would have paid money to see that sight. I got up in the morning to toothpaste in the sink. I thought for sure the Navy would cure that terrible habit.

Comment by cathy on May 27, 2012 at 8:18pm: I think I need to point out that the rest of my house does not look the way my son's room always looks. Goodness knows I tried real hard. Today my son called and told me that he was doing his ironing. At home he always preferred clothes that were wrinkled. I couldn't stand it so I started ironing his clothes but he stopped me . I really am hoping that the Navy has changed him in some ways.

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on May 27, 2012 at 2:54pm: I think we all have the same kids!!!

Comment by Pat on May 27, 2012 at 1:47pm: Apartment during prototype: Dress uniform on hanger in one closet, air mattress on floor, foot stool and exp comfortable computer office chair, 5-shelf book shelves loaded with books and computer games,clean laundry in baskets, over ironing bd, in linen closet (on shelves), other closet: rifles, more books, games.

Dirty laundry on floor. He rented washer and dryer for the couple of months, so clothes were always clean.

Comment by Mark on May 27, 2012 at 11:32am: You need a basket in case you don't have a hamper, CindyLou. Then the dirty clothes go on the floor and the clean clothes stay in the basket after pulling them out of the dryer, cuz it's hard to put them in the dresser... :)
