At least..that is the plan. We will see as the time gets closer.
Whew! I made it thru the first month. We've had a lot of 30-ish minute phone calls. Usually once or twice daily. It's hard though. Kuwait is 11 hours ahead of California time, and Tom is typically working night shifts there while I am on a daytime schedule here, falling asleep early each night. Sometimes when he calls it is 1:00 or 2:00 a.m (Kuwait-time). I am thankful he cares enough to check on us.
I have not been blogging much. I am getting more exhausted these days. Tolerance/patience level is way down..usually I'm ridiculously patient, especially with the kids. Grouchiness is way up..my daily cardio has been lacking. That and my emotions & feelings are all over the place. Not really processing anything. No time and to be honest, I don't really feel like dealing with certain things right now(of course, I grew up with the mindset of "if you ignore it long enough, maybe/eventually it'll go away"). Just have to keep moving forward. I also am trying to be the strong one for the kids.
Not really sure how I should be feeling. I feel like I am losing my mind and my sense of self. Everything is usually about the kids or Tom. I don't get much "me" time..not even the bathroom for 5 minutes without all heck breaking loose. Someday.
PS. Is it bad I have mostly stopped reading a good friends' blog because things go so well for their family compared to our challenges(not even including Tom's deployment)? If anyone is actually reading this post, it is most likely NOT you that I'm referring to.
Journey: n. An experience or process that leaves you changed; trail of experience. From here to there.

Family Pics--late August/early September? '08
These(and the several previous posts) were taken by Tom's brother-in-law, so we could get in family pictures this year before Tom started his pre-deployment training. This is, I think, Brea? at the Tri-City Park.

What a cutie! I'd like to go out with this girl. (Tom wrote that, while trying to leave a comment)
