Good Morning ladies! I've been off of here for a couple of days. We had a very busy Sunday. My husband just decided that he wanted to power wash our deck (the previous owners had painted it, :( ) so we were doing that all day. Then yesterday I had to take my mom to a doctor's visit, then lunch and shopping.
Hope everyone is having a terrific Tuesday.
Patrat, glad to hear that flights were more affordable for you.
Sooo excited. We were actually going to drive to PIR, but rechecked flights this morning and now we are flying. All I have to do now is talk my husband into stopping on our way to the hotel at the Russian pointe shoe store that my daughter has her heart set on. PLEASE let traffic be light that day in Chicago!!!!!!
Good Morning all!
so true navyknitt :-)
I know exactly what you all are feeling. I would not have survived the boot camp experience without N4M's
24 Days, Can you believe it? I am getting more and more excited to see them all. It is so neat how I feel like I know and care for all of these hero's we each have raised. How cool are we? LOL
Meegan said in her last post that you all have been a life raft these last 4 1/2 weeks..I agree. If I take a moment to try to imagine what going through this would be like without navyformoms, well, it's not a pretty picture!!! Thank you all so very much for being there for each other!!! You suppose our SR's are having a great day? I hope so, and I hope each of you are having a great day too!!! Drew 2.0 - hope your move goes well!
Dear Patrat, Same thing here about Drew's room. It took me at least FIVE attempts before I made any progress....and then it was forced progress since we are moving this week. Keeps me busy, though. Take care PIR 7/20 gals we are on the downslope. YEA!
So I had this great idea today that I would attack my sons room. I walked in, looked around, and then the memory of just standing in his room and hugging him the day he left came flooding back so I turned around and left, grabbed yet another tissue and decided to do laundry instead. Maybe after I get the "I'm a Sailor call" How bad can his room be that it can't wait a little longer right? :)
Good morning all!
