So.... plans are a-changing for Pook and his "Band of Brothers"! They found out when they arrived in Kuwait that they were NOW going to their year-long home away from home in pairs!!! YEA!!!!!! This makes me feel sooooo great! Pook will have one of his Brothers with him!! (can I get a Waahooo?) As a wife of a deployed Soldier - this gives me a huge amount of relief and comfort. Don't you just LOVE military changes?!? I know, I know... it could change again before they arrive - but for right this minute... I'm a happy Wife!
So, Pooks been gone 3 1/2 weeks and I STILL can't fold down the covers on his side of the bed at night! I actually tried the other night to claim the whole bed but it ate at me for a few minutes until I got up, made his side back up, and got on my half! Isn't that just the damned thing you've ever heard? Now, it only took me about... oh, 1/2 day to claim his side of the vanity in the bathroom - now I have two sinks and the whole length of the vanity to myself and my stuff! And our closet.... mine! I don't worry about him tripping over my shoes, running into a hanger sticking out from my section of the clothes rack (because I've just breezed through and pulled something off the hanger), or feeling ashamed because I'm such a closet slob while his clothes ever so perfectly sorted by type, color, sleeves (ahem..OCD...cough)! See - there are perks to this deployment!
Oh, one more thing that I haven't been able to do since Rich has been gone. His gym bag that he used our last night together (we stayed at a hotel near the armory) is still in the back of the car. I know it's there... but I just can't make myself get it out. I think it's the whole.. if I get it out..then I have to empty it and then if I do that, I may have to wash his shirt or anything that smells like him. I KNOW.. I know you are all rolling your eyes at this - but it really is like a security blanket for me in a weird kind of way.
Well, it's Flashback Friday! Since I'm not in a place where I can get to my treasure trove of pictures..... and since Rich isn't here to stop me (tee hee hee)...I'm pulling out a Flashback pic for your entertainment, of Him! (Honey - it's Flashback Friday... I'd look like a dork if I didn't join in. It's the ONLY picture I have with me to show. Kiss..kisss..hope you understand).
