I started this site in 2005 after our son, Wyatt, was born with a cleft palate. Over the years the posts became less about Wyatt's condition and more about every day life. Seven years later, its a place to chronicle my journey as an Army Wife and a working mother of two children struggling to find balance in life.

6 Month Mark
Well...6 months is such a huge amount of time to say we've put behind us and it feels good to say we've made it this far. However, we have 9 months to go. So, whenever I think to myself "wow 6 months down", I am proud of all of us for getting this far and also sad that we still have so long to go - it literally brings tears to my eyes every time. I just can't believe that the government feels its o.k. to remove a person from teir families for 15 months. Deployments just shouldn't be longer than 12 months! I mean, 1 year away from your family is more than enough time - especially when you are living in a war zone. Eric left when Wyatt was one and will return when he's 3 - its depressing and frustrating.
