Count Down Is On
I am taking a small break from studying with the count down until Sniper is home I can't concentrate for shit. Honestly, like I could before with all the crazy shit that has gone on in the last few weeks (in do time I will tell). However, there is even more crazy shit going on this summer. Originally, Sniper wasn't scheduled to be home until March of 2007. Well, shit happens and things change. I have already learned not to count on anything when it comes to him and the Marine Corps. I have known for awhile that this deployment had a small chance of only being a single rotation, instead of a double rotation. I just haven't wanted to get my hopes up. Well throw that out the frickin' window because as it gets closer, it looks like he will be home sometime before the end of summer. Due to OPSEC and the fact that I value Sniper's life I can't tell ya when. But, HOT DIGIDY DAMN, SNIPER IS COMING HOME!!! YEAH!!!!! With that said, I had sooo much shit planned to stay busy for me. I needed to make the time fly. Well, it looks like I am going to get bit in the ass again, royally. My schedule: June - my Son Graduates from 6th Grade on Friday, both kids out of School; July - Study, Series 7 Week Long Class, Series 7 Exam; August - Study, Exam; September - Study, 2 Exams; October - Boot Camp Challenge This isn't including my normal I have too much piled on my plate. I am a mom who misses the hell out of my kids, giving up my side business, spend time with my deprived family. Oh yeah and in the middle of all this Sniper is coming home and I need/have to spend time with him. I just have to figure out how. Anyone got any ideas? This thing with my ankles is putting a damper in all my plans as well. I have too much pent up energy and can't stay still. Besides I really want to run in the Boot Camp Challenge. I am not running just to run, there is a group of us who are running for The MarineParents.com Care Package Project. The proceeds will go to send more Care Packages to our troops (Sniper has also been a benefit of this). So when we run this, we will be running to Support our Marines. (As my schedule relaxes a little, I will be posting more info on this and if you are interested where you can donate). I so far only have one person on my team. I have no idea who he is, other than he is a Marine recently returned home from Iraq and wants to give back to those who helped support him when he was deployed. I just need to find at least on more person to run with us. I wonder if I can talk Sniper into this. Think we can convince him? I doubt it too, but I am going to try. It sure would be fun to run with two Marines and this slow, I am so going to get my ass kicked Civilian. Sniper, what ya say....will you help this cause? Back to the Count down, it is coming fast and fierce upon us all. This rollercoaster isn't anywhere close to ending and I am actually feeling it pull me in different directions again. My emotions are becoming more intense, thoughts are a little on the extreme side. It's going to get a little bumpy around here. But, don't worry, once he does return, I will be continuing to blog (hopefully more). The next adventure will be a wild one as well. Recruiting Duty. I am so excited and can't wait for that chapter to begin (sarcastic here), but let's get us through this one first. Dyzgoneby Sniper, I am waiting for your answer. Honestly think about it. Maybe we can even talk Wingman or Bubba into joining us as well. |

Oh honey...I've been keeping my fingers and toes crossed, hoping that this will not be a double. I won't uncross them until you know for sure, and your fantasmagoric Sniper is back in your arms!
(I hope you're taking your 7 test right after the class- the class is kick-ass and will prepare you for the test more than you realize now)
Hey beautiful! Sure sounds like you have been keeping busy. I have been trying to call but you never answer. I hope that all is well. I am still wondering if I should tell the boys what do you think?
Hey Heather! No, I am not dodging you, I am either studying or sleeping. I have been going to be between 2000 & 2100. I know, I am getting old. I will try to call you on my way home today.
As for the boys, I would wait just a litlle while longer. You know how much things change quickly. I would hate to see it change at the last minute and them get real disappointed. I know I am trying very hard not to set my expecatations to high on the date he gave us. It's hard as hell though.
However, This HELL RIDE is almost over. Can you feel it?
Hey I need your help here. There is a blog out there called Heavy: Lift with caution. That boy has some serious anti Bush talk going on. Myself and my nephew Jason, who is an OIF vet have been posting some comments but we need some more help as we are out numbered. I ask you and any of your loyal America loving readers to please go to his blog and post a comment on his anti Bush post, PLEASE!!! For every post that gets put over there from you or any of your readers ....Uncle Jim will drop and give you 20 Marine Corps push-ups.
Thanks.
Mission Accomplished Sir, Drop and give me 20. I will drop with ya!
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25.
There is five extra!
Thanks
Oh boy, you better get back to "Heavy: lift with caution" I think you should reply to his reply on your comment. Don't let this die with just one comment. Think about it. You should make a post on your blog on it as well and get the troops on his ass. He is my nephew, as is Jason. But that don't get him off the hook as you can see. NOW GET OVER THERE WITH US AND FIRE HIS ASS UP!!!!
You are great with your words.
