SLEEP

It's all I ever do. 

Do you think I could manage to sleep until Thanksgiving?  Perhaps I'll try.

Pregnancy

Did you think I was gonna tell you that I'm pregnant?  'Cause I'm not.  But that's why I called this post that.

Pregnancy takes approximately nine months.  As of today, Sam has been gone from my daily life for exactly nine months.  That's long enough to make a human being.  That's a school year.  That's three seasons.  Three quarters of a year.

Only one more season, one more quarter of a year, until he's back.

God bless and keep Sam and all his brothers and sisters in uniform.  And God give us strength to finish.

P.S.- Liz and I have watched the entire first season and around four or five episodes of the second season of Army Wives.....in the last 48 hours. :)

Sarah Faith first posted this.  Didn't want anyone to miss it. :)

Deunited and It Feels So Sucky

My baby's been gone for the better part of a week now.  I miss him.  The time we spent together was AMAZING, but in order to get that time you have to face this readjustment time again.  I'm not thrilled about that.  My best friends since he left have been sleep, junk food, and ignoring any and all responsibility.  I should probably stop those relationships now before someone gets hurt.  I did get to talk to him for three hours yesterday and that softened the blow quite a bit.  He told me that he hadn't read all the emails I wrote him while he was still here because he was saving them for when he got back when they could "cushion the blow of the suck."  He's funny.  I like him.  I think I'll keep him around awhile longer.  And by "around" I clearly mean in a different hemisphere than me.  What else would I mean by that?

My mom is ballin' for being such a dedicated Xangan. 

Things have been crazy busy lately.  Not only is it a busy time in real estate, but my boyfriend is home on R&R.  He couldn't have gotten a worse timeframe for it as it pertains to me because of the busyness on the professional front.  However, I've managed to juggle it all, keep my clients happy, and get some new contracts.  One closing tomorrow and two next week.  Woo-hoo!  Hopefully, I'll be writing soon on two more which will give me 5 closings for August.  The problem is that I don't have much lined up after that.

Time with the beau was wonderful.  We got dressed up and went to a nice restaurant on Monday night, test drove cars on Tuesday, went to dinner with his business partner and wife and then out with friends on Wednesday.  In between we just talked and laughed and walked and watched Rambo.  Romantic, I know.

I feel much less sad about his leaving this time around.  Maybe it's because the end is in sight and I know that the next time I see him it will be for good.  For the last two years we've been parting and reuniting for various Army schools and international travels pretty regularly.  By the time he comes home we will have been together for 3 years, but only living in the same town for about 6 months of that.  We're long-distance pros.  But I am more than ready to just have the man I love a daily fixture in my life.  It's been a long time coming and I think we've nearly earned that privilege.  Don't get me wrong- I'm not happy that he's leaving.  I just feel better prepared to deal with this last stint.  Five more months and then (hopefully) never again.

In other news, there is no other news.  I haven't had time to workout, read the news, follow the Reds, or read any books.  I did see Wall-E and it was the worst thing ever.  I would rather watch Dr. Doolittle 14 times in a row than sit through that even once.  Wow.  It was bad.  I am hoping to see Batman sometime soon- maybe a matinee this week.  I love seeing movies alone.  I feel very independent and free-spirited when I do that.  It would be better if I wore one of my several green coats and perhaps a red beret to it.  But it's warm and I have no beret.  So I'll just wear my smile that says I'm enjoying my solitude instead.
