Tammy, Wade also mentioned to Willie how he can't wait for him to meet Josh. Breaks my heart again that they are separated these last few days.

My daughter just read me some interesting letters from Wade from last Tuesday and Thursday night. I think possibly the hold-up in phone call is a punishment still ongoing. Of course, it doesn't explain why 212 hasn't called yet. He said they got a "beating" last week because the division did poorly. He said they pulled in all available RDLs to yell at them and do the beating. He said it was funny and not so funny at the same time. He said there has been a lot of arguing in the division but they pulled things together and have earned all their flags. He was so looking forward to BS because that was all he had left. He did earn his ribbon for sharpshooter or something like that. He wrote his twin brother a letter as well and told him to look for him at PIR - he will be the one carrying the Division flag. That makes me cry and pray so hard that it still comes true.

Agree Loree. We've already scoped out a good Italian restaurant in Chicago, hopefully to visit after a Cubs game on Saturday. Depending on how Wade feels or wants to do. That was his plan before he went in but we'll see.

Web Cam! That's it. Not only do I suffer from blondge moments but my exhaustion from no sleep makes it even worse. I couldn't get the difference in meaning between principal and principle to make sense this morning and I know that with the back of my hand! God help us through this before they admit me. I keep telling my family - just make sure you put me in a nice place. LOL

Right there with you, Loree. E-mail me at tsuggs@hsblawfirm.com and I'll give you our last name. LOL I think I told you before but I printed out everyone's picture off of this site when I wrote Wade so that he could see who I was talking about since we only have first names.

Watch - great idea. A co-worker told me that when they went to her son's PIR, that is the first thing he asked to do. He was so afraid of being late. LOL

Loree, thanks so much for sharing. I have tears of pride flowing and my heart is soring for him. Blake is the one who went home the first two weeks. My son is Wade. LOL It's okay, Mom. We are all losing it.

Do you think they'd be allowed that piece you can put on the laptop that you can see him? My brain is dead and I can't think of what it is called.

My daughter had just called and asked me the same question - the digital camera is a great idea, especially since those staying there for A-school will be visiting Chicago a lot I'm sure. The organizer is a good idea too but I couldn't even get my son to use his daytimer in high school. LOL

You can say that again, Tammy.
