Tryin to keep my brain in line.. OH MY what a crazy adventure this has been..!!
I Just came back from the store. We have a store near us called the Bent & Dent. Everything is crazy cheep. Bought snacks to keep us busy for our 11 hr. drive and back. We try to limit our junk food it to some point, but I wondered what all my sailor might want and been missing, so I think I bought everything in sight..!! ~ugh~
Isaiah 26:3 You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. Trust in the LORD forever,
for the LORD, the LORD himself, is the Rock eternal.
OK now I am on the charger search - for his phone and his DVD player.
If you have not done so, you may find it interesting to read about Battlestations....diannep posted it in May....go above comments here...click last reply...go to top of that page and click on the http...go down that page to the Battlestations very informative especially when some of the SRs go in a few hours..
They are almost "sailors"......I am so excited for them....but I have things to do like finish planting the garden and finish some laundry....it is hard to keep ones mind at all the regular life things that need to be done...and no letter today so we are still in limbo on our weekend.
"We've come this far by grace, leaning on the Lord"...as the song goes.
KC'smom & Squeekers... don't you worry, girls, we are standing with you! There will always be those stinks out there. But truth be told, you ARE sucking it up! look at you... Your doing it, your getting though this tough stuff.. your still doing life, your not a puddle on the floor! You got out of bed, and your looking and noticing the good things in each day. . I give you a Hurrraayyy!!!
Pull your shoulders back, and brush those comment off your shoulders,... you do not have to receive that! You are confident lovely women who are doing WELL with what you have right now and you and your SR will have a successful life!
Donna-Open the letter! Remember: It's easier to get forgiveness than permission. lol
KC's Mom-If the people on that site are rude, it's not a site for me. Email me the site, please.
MamaCindy-Check the electrical outlets to see if it is plugged up in his room or another area of the house. I had to do the same thing today.
Does anyone know if final PFA for 09/205 is today?
BS is tomorrow night, so I'm just guessing. I'm hoping they don't wait 'til the day of BS in case someone needed a 2nd shot at it. He seemed confident about his running after 2nd PFA, but since that was his only struggle, I'll feel better when that's behind us and I haven't gotten a phone call!!! I KNOW you guys know what I mean.
I can always get a new charger @ Walmart if I have to! Hoping my mama-detective skills serve me well, though. : )
