After Friday's heartbreaking news  I am wondering how today is going to be at my school job. Have been thinking how to answer questions how much to answer & what possible comforting words can be said to reasure children K-8....say prayers & let's keep moving forward & Not give up on mankind. Navy MoMs & Dads tell your kids you LOVE them always & Thank them for serving All of us.

  Yes ! I have 2 letters & have had 2 phone calls.... I am blessed. And he wrote his second day of bc. I have read & heard several times how much he misses his family can you imagine because if he was home he would be bored & fighting with his sisters,lol... keep praying yall and sending good thoughts to everyone at Great Lakes.

   Happy Thanksgiving to Navy families.... still no letter or phone call from son yet other than the formal letter... but am so blessed to have new Navy family

  got a 3 pg letter but not hand written from my son. It's a formal info letter ...but at least I know he is Ship 12 Div 048 anyone else get this today ? 

  Where would I buy a Navy mom shirt along with Navy sisters ?  It's been a week & have made a promise to my son everyday while he is in bc I go for a walk started last Tue the day he left.   The walk is to connect with him while he is working hard and I endure all weather conditions,lol.. but need to get the shirt to support my son, this week has taken a toll on his sisters with Thanksgiving next week along with finals. I ordered a meal to pick up at Kowalskis since I won't feel like…

  just got my Son in a box.... can't stop taking everything out & putting back in, crazy I know... not sure if I will keep the box or not. Wondering if he has a schedule now & if all the medical & dental have gone through for everyone, if so Now the HARD part is on. I will probably stare at this box all weekend & then decide what to do. Glad I was home /off work to get it.  I'm sure his sisters will say oh gross mom get that stuff out of here,lol..

  Thinking of my son this morning ..waited with my girls at the bus stop & went for a morning brisk walk. Not that my son would have been up but just thinking of him. Wondering what bc schedule is , haven't got a clue when sailor in a box will be coming. I looked on face- book on the Navy Great Lakes boot camp this very helpful .  Pictures and links. Trying to keep busy , off today & tomorrow doing laundry cleaning etc. making a grochery list & realized my bill is going down…

   last night got the call from bc. It was short & sweet next is the waiting for sailor in a box . Going back to work today seems the past 2 days are a blur .... trying to keep busy and move forward

  Thank you Navy moms for all your kind words & encouragment, it is much appreciated. :)

       It is now just 2 weeks until my son leaves for bc. He leaves on Election day, my head & heart are spining our household is crazy with emotions... my youngest daughter a freshman in high school is also in the fall play ,2 parts and it starts 3 days before he leaves. When I say household crazy with emotions I mean all of us, 2 teenage daughters & son and me,mom one minute we are all laughing & fun times and then we can't wait to get a way from each other,lol... also, we are…
