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.

Eric's Mid-Tour
His mid-tour is scheduled for June or July some time. I hate that they can't just give us a damn date to look forward to. Honestly, I don't want him to come home for mid-tour. I know that's sounds crazy, but it will be so sad to say good-bye to him after two weeks and wait another 5-6 months to see him again. Plus, I think Wyatt will be more aware when he leaves this time and that it will effect him even more. I want Eric home - for good. I want want to get back to a normal life (if that's what you can call military life.) So the 2 weeks in the middle of it all, isn't going to be normal in any sense and the whole time I am going to be beside myself with grief, knowing that he's leaving again. Here's the sexy pic of him I say good night to every night - its my laptop wallpaper (it of him in flight school - he hates this pic - he thinks its dorky - but I l-o-v-e it!).
