Comment by mtnmom on October 5, 2009 at 9:51am: Bobby leaves Wednesday morning from Clovis (Fresno) to go to MEPS in San Jose with the recruiters. I will be saying goodby to him in Clovis. He says I can't to go San Jose. As my younger siad, we should probable take out stock in Kleenex.

We had a quiet day with best friends yesterday. We didn't get to Yosemite, it was snowing, that right, SNOWING!!, So we went to the movies in Fresno, then to dinner and got home around 8:30. Today is errand running day, and work for me tomorrow and a trip to the recruiter for him. Have a great day ladies.

Comment by mtnmom on October 3, 2009 at 3:43pm: I was wondering does any speak, CAT and lab/shepard? The cats and dog will be alone until I get home from work, starting on Wednesday. Bobby has been home with during the day becuase he worked at night. I hope the cat doesn't wander too far from home.

Comment by mtnmom on October 3, 2009 at 1:52am: Hi all,
Well this is the last weekend with Bobby, he leaves on Wednesday. Since its just the two of us, we're being quiet and running errands. We will go to Yosemite on Sunday, then dinner with family friends Sunday evening. I am taking Monday off from work to run those last minutes errands with him. On Wednesday, I will take him to the Recruiter in Clovis, about 35 miles away from home, say goodbye, and the recruiters will take him to MEPS in San Jose, and he then will go to BC the next morning.
I had a big melt down at work on Wednesday, so I wrote something, that I will share with him at PIR. Its called "i Blinked". Writing it, helped me get through the afternoon.

For those of us, who's kids leave on Wednesday, please remember me, as I'll be saying a special for all who leave this week.

Welcome Monica--

Leah, Cassie and Kyra, what wonderful haircuts, and they're styled so nicely. Bobby shaved his head again tonight. It had started to grow out in just four days.

There are so many things to get done before leaves one week from today. I had a melt down this afternoon at work. So I wrote something for him, that I give to him at Christmas, don't want to share it with the whole group at BC. I hope he will understand it.

Comment by mtnmom on September 30, 2009 at 12:57am: Kris-- we're there for you, and a lot more of us will join you next week, hang in there.

Comment by mtnmom on September 29, 2009 at 12:31am: On Saturday, Bobby shaved his head, so it will be tanned when he leaves for BC on the 7th, typical California boy

Comment by mtnmom on September 28, 2009 at 10:54pm: Hi all;
Most places that do direct deposits for payroll, need either a check or a note from the bank. Deposit slips usually arent accepted. I ahve been doing payroll for years, and those are the requirements used by most companies.

Comment by mtnmom on September 27, 2009 at 3:49pm: To all;
Thanks for the welcome, it good to know that I'm not only one with tears in my eyes.
