My life just keeps getting better and better..NOT
Six days on, double shifts four of them. One of those doubles was on one of my two days off. We had two CNAs up and quit on us. Money will be great. I can get the car fixed and buy Sophie her new car seat. But it's murder on me.
And life is only going to get more and more interesting. My unit was just called back into active duty. *waves* I'm part of one of the medical units, specializing in trauma. Bloody brilliant. It looks like we're headed to the Middle East again. Only four more years before I get out of active reserves. Not soon enough for me.
I head out in two weeks. I already changed the contact info at the base so Rick can't get anywhere near the kids. And I'm really blessed in that one of my best friends is permanently stateside with her job. She and her husband said they'd take the girls and will keep them on the base while I'm deployed. I was having trouble thinking of ANYONE I could find to give my kids to so on the off chance Rick or any of the rest of that screwed up family wouldn't be able to get to them.
The good thing is after this time around, I'll be able to finish my classes at the college and actually get my Nursing degree so I can finally get a job at the hospital that pays well enough that I don't have to worry about making rent payments, paying for my kids, etc.
I'll keep the blog open but I don't know how often I'll post in it. I'll be overseas for 18 months, unless the U.S. pulls out of the war in Iraq. Then it'll be up to the military "geniuses" in D.C. to decide where I'm going.
Now the really fun part. I have to tell the girls I'm going away for almost two years. So many things I'm going to miss. This is one of those times where I wish I hadn't followed my family tradition.
