Some days

Some days I wonder why God lead us on the path we've been on

Other days, I'm a tiny bit thankful for those days

Our first deployment, I call it "OUR" because we were in it together

Not literally but when a spouse is deployed, the other is left to keep putting the puzzle of life together

This deployment made me independent

I learned to do things on my own with a 1 year old in tow

Our second deployment made me even more independent

Almost to the point of shutting everyone out of our lives

I had the boys and that was all I needed

They kept me going on days when I saw darkness

They were my rock

They still are!

The boys were out of school yesterday for Martin Luther King Jr Day

I didn't realize they had the day off  3 weeks ago when I was scheduling appointments

Then the hubby came home Friday and said he would be over the road on Monday night

I don't even panic any more, I just know that things will work out

The boys were AMAZING yesterday!

I did hair for 6 hours and turned around and taught classes for 2 and a half hours

I felt so guilty for having to work and tagging them along

but they understand what must be done

This morning we woke up to more snow

Thank goodness for my independence, the snow has been moved,

the boys have been dropped off at school with only one trip back home for a forgotten book

and the day is just beginning

I haven't seen the hubby in 24 hours but ya know what, we've got this

These guys are my world

These boys have no idea how much they have changed my life

We've been through a lot together and it's only made us stronger
