Outside My Window...are the new umbrella lights we put up on the lanai. They were sparkling like tiny little stars last night.
I am thinking...of all the things I need to do, should do, want to do (and aren't doing any of them.)
I am thankful for...the knowledge that today's loneliness from deployment will pass and tomorrow will be better
From the learning rooms...comes frustration with myself. I need to hold us both accountable to the work that needs to be done.
From the kitchen...comes survival meals for right now.
I am wearing...,my jammies still
I am creating...a mess of undone projects on my table
I am going...in circles right now
I am reading...First Light by B & B Thoene and retaining little of it
I am praying...oh yes I am
I am hearing...construction sounds from the historic homes next door and across the street, doves are cooing, but I hear sirens and the Japanese national anthem as well. I woke to reveille at 0630 from the Pearl Harbor side as usual.
Around the house...are numerous things to be done
One of my favorite things...are emails, letters and phone calls from Iraq
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...yeah right *L* THIS is the face of deployment. I will get it together but thought it was important to share that some days are just that...days to be survived and marked off the calendar. And even that much is good.
Please note - I/we are doing really well overall but I like being honest and transparent and not all deployment days are chipper and happy. The bad days come and go. This is one of them. I think there would be something wrong with us if we didn't feel it occassionally and miss him like crazy. I don't need anyone to fix anything or even to worry about us. A little prayer sent up on our behalf is always welcome though! *S*
