Let's Help Each Other Through This

Wow((: this gives me so much hope and so much strength!!! Gosh i am so thankful for this... lately i have been feeling an awful lot of anxiety, but now having been read these amazing stories it is like a breath of fresh air, and a beautiful awakening. Youre so right... I CAN DO THIS!!!!! Because i now know that God is bigger than any worry or any distance(: thankyou so much, ive gotten so much encouragement today and its going to carry me through however many days it takes for my navy sweetheart((:

If it means anything to anyone.; yesterday I woke up at 7(a rarity for me when I am on a break) and I went to volunteer in a kitchen from 8-2 and made a gorgeous event dinner for 200 guests for the charity event of raising money for my volunteer program, as well as it being a birthday party. half way through my shift I got a phone call from a friend asking if I could bail her out of working by herself right after my volunteer shift. I said sure and soon enough we were cooking some fabulous food together for her bosses' homecoming. I love to cook and especially with this amazing woman. It was surely not a typical day, but I wish it could be. The exhaustion and sore feet was well worth the bliss and merriment of a hard day's work.

hi ladies,



Its been 354 days without him now. though he is coming home next week, its getting impossible to pass these couple of days. i am a mother of a 6 yrs old. i am being unable to spend quality time with him, he's totally confused with my change in behavior. i feel so guilty. but i think managing all by myself , playing the role of a dad n mom both for such a long time has taken its toll on me.



i am tired of keeping myself busy, i am so overwhelmed that all this is coming to an end, n we wud be able to stay happily again as a family, that probably what i am writing might seem to be incoherent.



thanx for providing a place to speak out ur mind.

oh goodness talk about inspiring! thanks arrowangel21! hah

well my days start about 0730 and end about 2300-0000. & still there just isn't enough to do! i've noticed that the way i'm starting to cope with the pain of my soldier away is just to become numb and isolate myself a little bit. i don't think that's the best way to do it. hah. but i must admit, it is getting me through. it's a lot easier to stay positive on my own when i'm not annoyed by everyone else's incessant complaints about the weather and things not going their way. but who knows, i'm sure they'll learn some day right? maybe. haha

I have date night where I take myself out for coffee and a movie or dinner and a movie that way I get out of the house. Plus, I love seeing movies.

My gosh do I have a busy week planned. I'm turning 30 this week and have three days of parties planned for me, plus I have to make my 3 tiered birthday cake for Friday night, only cause I don't trust anyone else to do it the way I want it done.

Monday I have to start baking the cake while I babysit my bosses kids. Tuesday is Cinco de Mayo, I have a standing traditidon to go to this one mexican restraunt with friends for dinner and drinks. Wednesday is my actual birthday, but instead of going out again I have to work more on my cake, roll out the fondant and finish up decorations and icing so on Thrusday I can assemble it. Friday I have to work in the morning then I'm spending the day at the spa getting my hair highlighed, massage, facial all that fun stuff.

Last weekend when Dale was up here when we were walking around my neighborhood he noticed a spa and signed me up for a day of beauty...

Then Friday night I'm meeting all my family and friends at the newest casino in town for drinks and all you can eat crablegs, then going to this great piano bar where they call you up on stage and have fun of you...

.Hopefully by midnight Dale will be arriving from Pensacola to do some partying with me then take my drunk *** home....

I can't belive he is going to be able to celebrate with me through the rest of the weekend.....Did I mention heis marked for redeployment in two weeks..I hope he can get his name off that list, after all hes only been home for 3 months....

Type your comment here...Today I did not do too much but enough to keep me busy, i cleaned my room like really cleaned!! went tanning, did tons of homework, went to Marc's sister's house to help her go get a cabinet, stayed and chatted for a bit, went home painted mine and my sisters nails, and then got on here to read stories to waste some more time!!... And now im looking back and thinking WOW my first week without Marc is over! GOOD, one week down 10 to go untill i see my baby, this is extremely tough but I CAN DO THIS, for him if anything else, i am looking forward to my first letter!



The only sad thought i had today was that i find myself wanted the days to go by and i feel like im wishing my life away and not enjoying it, Its hard to enjoy the days when the one your with isnt with you!



But I am not concentrating on that!! I am PROUD of my solider and I am going to the positive!!



Thanks for listen!!
