It's Laundry Day!

Well, here it is, Wednesday which means that it's laundry day! Laundry is done here on Wednesday and Sunday, only.
I know at this point you are probably scratching your head and wondering what in the heck I am talking about. Well, look at it this way- when you are the wife to a deployed solider, you need a routine and often things to occupy your time. So I have a chore schedule for myself. I mean, after all, who wants to waste all the fun on just one or two days a week?
The other reason is that as soon as my Dad gets home, I will be sharing the washer and dryer with him. So, it's good to have a schedule in place before hand, no?
Yes, I am a bit neurotic, but that just adds to my overall charm! Hee Hee

Not much going on here today, I have some work to do and of course the laundry. I also need to write to my husband, which I try to do 3x per week. It's hard sometimes to think of what to say in those letters. They really could be only 3 lines.
1. I love you.
2. I miss you.
3. Get your A$$ home ASAP.

That is really all of the pertinent information I need to relay to him. Yet, I know that mail is so very important to our soldiers. Even though we talk on the phone every day, it's sad to have mail call and not have anything.

He is doing ok, all things considered. They should start their field training very soon, and I am looking forward to that, even thought it will not be a lot of fun for him. His pass should come about immediately after the training, once they are validated for deployment. March cannot get here soon enough! Hoping to hear more about that shortly.

Tomorrow, it will be a month since we have seen him. It's hard to believe, honestly. And we are nearly at 5 weeks on Monday. The only good thing about it is that time is passing by, and the faster it goes by, the faster he will come home. Approximately 345 days to go. I will be glad when we get under 300! I am excited about resuming our lives together when he gets home, and find out exactly where we will be living.

Hannah has been a bit down, which I think I have blogged about before. Last night, a few of her friends from Jersey called her, and she got super excited about that. This move has been difficult for them, it breaks my heart. I sense that they are being troopers, but none of them are very happy here. :-(

Well the buzzer is going off on the dryer, which means it's time for me to go. Be well and stay warm everyone!!
