OMG you guys. So much to do and have yet to get started. 3 different kids going to 3 different places tomorrow. Packing for them and hubby and I plus cleaning house for sitter who will be here Sunday. I honestly don't think its really hit me that we leave tomorrow morning. That will probably come tonight when I NEED to sleep but can't. Ugh.
Congrats to yesterdays new sailors and can't wait to hear about the calls coming in today!
So if we wernt able to order ribbons anyone have any clever ideas on something with name and DIV # on it that we could wear to PIR that won't look too cheesy? LOL.

Please remember when you are out with your sailors after PIR, to ask if the restaurants or even some merchants have a military discount. Our sailors work very hard for us and if they can catch a break for dinner or merchandise, they should take advantage of it, because they deserve that. We did find some restaurants who gave it to them and when I went to visit my son, while he was in A school in Pensacola, we found that some of the shops in the mall there also gave them a military discount. It's funny how when mom is with him, he "needs" civvies. I bought him shoes, shorts and t-shirts. lol But, of course, I was thrilled to do it. :)
