Random Thoughts before work...

Jul 26, 2007 08:16

Tomorrow Jason comes home! This TDY was better. Besides having plenty to do, I definitely dealt with it better. 2 more TDY's then 120 days in a row. There are so many times when being an Army wife is difficult, but I really do love it. A lot of people are so selfish they would not get involved with a soldier because of the commitment that comes with it. I'm selfish in the sense that I want my soldier home, but I deal with it, and I support him. I really don't know if I mentioned this before, but we've decided that it's a career. When Jason gets home from Afghanistan, he's going to try to go to WLC before we PCS (he talked to the career counselor- 80% chance) and he should make E-6 within a few months of being in Hawaii, especially if he is either NCOIC or Senior Analyst in Afghanistan. Since his OIC out there will be a civilian who is one of his supervisors now, he should get one of the two. That, and being a Squad Leader which is an E-6 position will make his NCOER look really good, as long as he gets his weight down and his PT up. Then he's going to put in a Warrant packet a little bit after that. Hopefully he'll be going to WOC school instead of Iraq, but we'll see. It would be just our luck though... He'd go on a third deployment when there are so many other soldiers who have never gone. It's just funny because he's done two on purpose to get out of other ones. He actually did get out of a 6 month+ deployment to Iraq, so I am very thankful about that. We've discussed it though, and Jason's convinced that when the Dems win in '08 withdrawl will be imminent. That's a lot for him, since he's an independent who tends to lean to the right... yuck. Oh, and for the first time in my life my mother and I don't agree on a candidate! I haven't really debated with her because I don't have enough information. If I got the info I'd surely win, my poor mommy is too timid. But she supports Hillary and I actually am going outside of being an NYS resident and I support Barack.

Anyway, here's the last couple of days. On Tuesday I wanted to get up at 0600 to take a 1.5 mile walk, which I did. I did unpack some pictures and put those up, but nothing too serious until work at 9. On lunch I called Picerne to put in a work order before the puppies come here, but they never came yesterday when they were supposed to. If they haven't come by 1 today when I get home from lunch I'll just call back, because I'm tired of the lies. After work I actually relaxed a little bit, even though I probably shouldn't have with so much to do.

Yesterday was good... I was going to walk again but didn't wake up till 0700. I did a couple things at home on lunch, then finished up work and got out a little late. Thankfully I wasn't going to class anyway. Instead, I got some money out of the ATM, got a pedicure and my eyebrows waxed, went to the old place to get my car packed up with another load full of stuff, and got a salad and came home. I meant to do a lot more homework than I did, but life happens. Life is happening right now actually. I need to check USAA, fill up my water, relax a few minutes and leave for work by 0845.
