Day 75 – weekends suck!

I realized today that weekends during the deployments just suck. I really don’t look forward to them anymore. Isn’t that just sad ?? LOL

It’s just another reminder that our family is not complete right now and a very important piece is missing. The girls and I of course find as many things as we can to do during the weekends but sometimes it is just not enough.

During the week the girls and I are so busy with our various activities that we don’t think about it. Since school started, We have routine and we have structure. The weekends not so much~

Speaking of school, the girls started back to school on August 13th ( i know I need to post a current picture of them). Kiersten is in 6th grade and her first year in middle school. Rebecca started 2nd grade at the elementary school.

Both kids had a good start so far.. Beck has the same teacher and classmates as last year so she’s pretty happy about that. Kiersten was a bit overwhelmed with middle school and all the freedom that comes with it but she did GREAT! She’s also on the volleyball team this year.

It’s weird having the girls in 2 different schools and also means lots more of running around for Mom.

It’s hard to believe its been 75 days since SGT Daddy got on a plane heading to Afghanistan. Some days feel like its been forever and some days feel like it hasn’t been that bad. All in all , all of us (SGT Daddy included) are doing what we need to do, sucking it up and moving on.

SGT Daddy is doing well in A-stan and reports that “it is boring as hell here!!” There have been a few times where he and I haven’t been able to talk due to a variety of things happening over there (blackouts, his work schedule and travel) but we’ve been very lucky to communicate as often as we do.
