I'll tell you, it's been a rough couple of weeks. We did get Hayden's ID...and I had a PCS class to find out how to get all the boxes checked to leave here. But, tensions have been high at the Terry house. I finally had to take a night off and go to the movies with some girlfriends.
So, I won't bore you with the sordid details, but I think I'm finally pulling out of it. Yesterday's Mother's Day doesn't rank up there as one of my better ones, and Christine's family left the country last week. I was finally able to motivate myself to work out today....yay! I accomplished everything on my list today, and hope to keep the momentum for the whole week.
I have been praying to relax about the whole move (Did I mention that Dennis still has a week or so before coming home, and he won't get orders until a week or so after that? That will leave us with 2-3 weeks to get everything packed, shipped, turned off, paid, and get on a plane!) So, I had a revelation last night...
Those of you that have ever gone past your due date with any of your children...that's exactly what I'm feeling right now. I had expected Dennis home already. He isn't. It's only going to be a couple of weeks more, which in the scheme of things and longer deployments, really isn't much. BUT...when you are counting on that deadline, and that baby hasn't come yet...is it not the most miserable time of your life? I was overdue by 2 weeks with both Hayden and Sabrina, and, I'll tell you, I've never spent a longer 2 weeks of my life...until now.
McKenna has been using her "wishing flower" wishes...Come home soon, Daddy!

What I great analogy! I totally know how an overdue baby feels, ugh! But when you look back on it and realize how much you have accomplished on your own you should take a good long overdue minute to pat yourself on the back. You are a trooper for sure. I love that picture of McKenna!
Having just had a baby, I can totally commiserate. Just remember; it's a means to an end (that's the pep talk I was giving myself about 3 months ago).Once you get here to Hawaii you will totally forget all the hassles and headaches, and just relax on the beach.
That is a great analogy! I am sorry I have been a lousy friend--caught up in my life's drama recently but I think I am coming out of it and things will level out. Glad Dennis will be back shortly and you can get somethings finalized. Yeah for working out--now I need to get to it.
Sorry about that last post having the wrong name--that explains some of my craziness right now.
Hey! Heart and flowers are what you know me by! I'm sending some virtual love to you babe! I think if PCS'ing were going any slower you'd be asking it to speed up.. if you are like me sometimes, under pressure is where it all happens and efficiently.. YOU CAN DO THIS HOT STUFF!!! oh yeah!
But seriously it is going to work out no matter what.. if you are on your game the rest will follow.. p.s. "you can push soon!"
I'll get you some more dandelions...
