Blogging 101

Well, thought I would join the millions in blogging about my life such as it is.

Right now my husband is on a base in Iraq. He is trying to come home for R&R. So far no such luck. He has been trying for a week to get off his base. Bad weather and no flights and canceled flights have conspired against him getting home. He was supposed to be home tomorrow. Not going to happen. :o(

So he has manifested himself on a convoy. WHAT!!!!!!!!!!! OMG a Flipping CONVOY???? You have got to be kidding me! Know I am worried as can be about his safety. Trying not to think of IED's, ambushes etc. He leaves tomorrow night. So God willing he will be safely in Baghdad by Monday. And home by Friday. I pray that he makes it ok.

Was supposed to go to a family bbq today in MD. But just can't face the "concerned" and "clueless" people asking me how he is, when is he coming home, you must be so excited, yada yada yada..... Funny how some felt like I should go, and "they" wouldn't mention Doug, but surprisingly NO ONE called me?!?

So I am staying home today with the girls and wallowing in my misery. And then on Monday moving on with my life. I don't think they really understand what I am going through. I can't even find the words to say how much I miss him, how much I need him home safe and sound, how much this $&#@ing hurts. All I want to do is stay home, curl up in a ball and cry.

I know he will eventually be home, at least part of me knows this. I hate this limbo and not knowing and waiting and waiting some more to get some news.

Anyway, guess this is enough rambling and ranting from me for now.
