ok I was sooo HYPER and keyed up boy the down side is realllllllly down!! lol TN sounds good glad it is over. He has watch after PIR on Fri but gets about 4 hrs with us. He goes to the airport around 3 am on Sat but hey I'll take what I can get. He did have to extra push ups ( for 2 hrs) cause I sent his contacts. They said I could send them. He said they didn't throw them away! I sent comics from the paper after I read that you can..........well the officer got to read them. Did I say I wrote little things on some of them!!! OOPS. He said way to go MOM!! lol lo lo l Somethings never change and I LOVE IT!! I could always get his goat!! But I didn't mean to do that this time. ON the comics it was about a mom getting medals like she was in the Navy for being a cook, combat pay, drill sargant, etc u get the pic. I hope the PO thought is was funny!!! see ya gals later my eyes are closing!lol

Little Turtle. I hope you got some rest. You poor thing! You and Daniel will definitely have plenty to talk about on Friday. I'm sure he will tell you it was worth every push up just to have those contacts!
My son said he has been sick for 3 weeks now and lost most of his voice in BS yesterday. He wouldn't go to medical in fear of being set back with another division. He said he would graduate on Friday but with "strangers". Ahhhh...I told him that was so nice to hear but dang boy "you're really sick!!" He promised me that he would go to medical right after our phone call.
I can't wait to see you guys this week. HAPPY PACKING EVERYONE and get some sleep Little Turtle:)!!

I forgot to tell you guys what happened to me today. So here I am at a memorial service for a childhood friend's dad who passed away this week. It was a wonderful celebration, not sad like so many are. But there we stand talking and a friend says to me, Robin, look there's Janet's Sailor! I looked to my left and walking towards me is a handsome U.S. Navy Sailor wearing his summer whites. I had not seen this boy since he was 5 years old!
OMG, I thought my feet were going to come out from under me, my eyes filled with tears (happy ones of course) and I was speechless (very uncommon for me) LOL
I think God wanted to give me a preview of this Friday. Girls, I'm warning you now....bring lots of tissues!

LOL I hugged a young man Saturday at the yogurt place because he told me he was fixin' to go to Navy boot camp!
Hey I have to tell y'all what Candy's son has done for us. Because his parents couldn't come to graduation, he put my son's girlfriend on his guest list. Because of the divorce, my son's 4 were me and his dad, his stepfather, and his stepmother. Candy, sweetheart, you raised that boy right! I promise we'll look out for him after graduation!
