The Army SUCKS!

So I waited and waited for the end of last week to come. Why? Because Friday was when my hubby was supposed to sign out on leave for two whole weeks of uninterupted family time. The kids have school Monday through Wednesday so we would have 3 hours alone each day....lunch dates and private time(wink, wink). It was going to be great!

Well this is the Army life and so as I was at my Tupperware party on Thursday morning (which was going great by the way, I made over $100 in less than two hours!) my phone rang. I wouldn't normally answer during a party but since Kirke knew I was "working" I answered figuring it was important. He told me that instead of having our two weeks leave followed by four weeks of short days before they leave for the sandbox, he's leaving next weekend to go to SSG school (BNCOC) in Maryland enroute to Iraq. Which means he leaves next weekend for 9 weeks of school comes home for a week or two of leave......he better get two grrrr....then he goes on to Iraq for a very very long time.

I'm so mad! Nothing ever works out right! We were supposed to go to the ball on the 3rd and I was so excited cause in the last ball pictures I wore a red dress and looked like a big fat tomato and now I've lost about 25 pounds and want to look more like a little grape tomato! And it means that I have to make another two hour trip to Columbia with both boys alone to have Korbins kindey tested for the first time since his surgeries!

I'm so not ready for this deployment I might lose my mind. At least we're in the lower 48 so I can travel and visit people while he's gone. AND Korbin starts kindergarten next year so I will have no kids home all day long woohoo!
