So, a friend has hooked me on this new show, The Unit, on CBS. I really like it and I find I am fast becoming attached to the characters. It's a brief glimpse into something that I couldn't imagine, and yet it fills my days everyday.

Being a military wife is no easy walk in the park. No one ever said it was and I never thought it would be. Here I still and I worry about dh and my family everyday. Even when he is not in immediate danger I find my thoughts wandering to "what ifs" and "whys" and "what would I dos". Every time I see a fallen soldier from whatever nation in this world I shed tears. I start thinking about where would I go, what would I tell dd and dss, our families and friends, how would I even go forward, and on and on. If he got to make one final call home, what would I say, would I miss it while taking dd to the park, what would that message on my machine sound like and who would I call first? I know these are normal thoughts for a military wife and I am allowed to have them. Still, I know I should put them as far in the back of my mind as I can. I cry alot when I see the hurt those families suffer and I know it's empathy. I have no idea how they feel but I fear for the day, if it ever comes to me.

I see these fantastic wives with great poise and stoic faces, and I think, please let me carry myself with just an ounce of the same dignity and resolve. I pray each night for all the troops who fight for our freedom, safety and love. I truly can't even express in words my gratitude. It's never ending and immense, and sometimes overwhelming.

I needed to at least put some of this down on "paper". I had too much going through my head and now I feel a bit better. Good night and God Bless.

April 15, 2006....A posting message?.....

Well, it's been a while. Things have been a bit chaotic around here. We found out last weekend that we are being posted in August. OMG, we totally we're expecting that, nor the base that we are posted too. We are leaving the west coast and heading back east. It certainly isn't our first choice or dream posting, but it is something new and will be exciting. We are leaving behind the sound of jet engines of an AF base and heading for the rumbles of an army base.

We are most definitely gonna miss it here. We are going back to winters and snow, but a really tight knit family. Dh has also heard that he is getting promoted which is really nice for him. So, here we go again. We will be packing up the moving van and car, cat.....kid and all and driving. What fun.....:)

Have a great Easter weekend everyone.

March 9, 2006....So busy and so little time.....

I am so happy, I am finally getting a few visitors and members on my siggy site. It certainly isn't a huge amount but a few. Feel free to check out the site for yourself, you can find a link to it in my Navigation menu. I just received a few memberships to lineart sites so I am ready to really start creating. WOO HOO.

I have been so busy housecleaning and doing siggies I have been lacking in my duties as a webmaster. I have spent most of today updating all my websites. What a chore!!!!!

L will be home soon on his leave. WOO HOO. With the trouble one of my best friends is having getting her dh home, I am seriously starting to wonder about the fate of mine. I guess only time will tell. Oh, and to the majority of the Canadian people: get behind the troops and support them. This is a critical and extremely tough mission. The last thing they need is to hear the folks at home don't support what they are doing.

January 27, 2006....A quiet, finally sunny Friday.....

Well, the three wounded Cdn soldiers are back home with their families. They are in a local hospital and still recovering but at least back on home soil. One of the guys is still struggling a lot but everyone is remaining hopeful. The other two are getting better everyday. As always, they are all still in our thoughts and prayers.

Some exciting news is I have been approached by a film producer to help with a documentary on the lives of military wives. This is all so exciting and I am so anxiously awaiting more details. It will be a great opportunity to get to have our "say" and let people really know about the lives we lead each and everyday.

Any other news...hmmmm???......we are still doing well with dh away. Only a few more weeks and he will be home on leave. We will start getting really excited soon. It just seems too far off right now. Dd is getting ready to go back to the next level of swimming and playgroup. The soother battle seems to be over and in a month or so I will try moving on to the next "hurdle". LOL should be fun.

January 22, 2006....Feeling thankful and blessed.....

So not much new has been happening. Dh found out when his HLTA is and so we are looking forward to that. He seems to be doing well with work but is still looking forward to coming home. Maybe he can stay for a while.

As far as news on the three Cnd troops hurt in Afghanistan, two are doing well but one is really struggling. We are all praying for the best possible outcome for all three and their families. I really do hope they know they are in our thoughts and prayers constantly.

I am hoping I can watch some tv and work on my cross stitch tonight after dd heads to bed. I haven't worked on it in so long, I hope I haven't forgetten how.
