Oh Jen..what an emotional day for you! Sorry the kids are leaving and your friend is leaving earlier than expected. We're here for you!

i appreciate it guys---went to the kids house today and kept hugging them..im going to see them in a couple of weeks hopefully, ill go up to babysit..
went to dinner with steve ..h.ugs and hugs and pictures haha..but he said that he will come over late sunday night to say goodbye to us...thats when im really going to be a mess...plus, while we were at dinner, another air force guy that was with us, told us hes being deployed in may...so it was a long day---

on the plus side...i barely ate anything at dinner lol-...come to think of it, i b arely ate today, my stomach has been in knots..

Happy Weekend and Easter Jen! I hope you have a great time with your rugrats!

You know Jen, it is ironic, b/c I went through what you are going through with a friend nearly 2 years ago. He was Scott's best friend and he also became a good friend of mine and he was sent to Iraq almost 2 years ago. It was hard and his mom also works with Scott and cried a lot...which of course had ME all messed up! He just came home this week for a whole year of leave! I saw him tonight and am really glad that he is finally home and safe. I am hoping that the war in Iraq will be over before he is due to go back next year. It's weird b/c I just posted about this in my journal and now I am reading yours and it sounds so similar to what I went through. I will pray for your friend...I know it's tough! Hope you have a great Easter!

hi everyone--i just wanted to thank you all for helping me the last couple of weeks--i know i have been a complete mess lately..steve just came over with his mom to say goodbye--we gave him the medal and he loved it...we already have his address in Iraq that we can send him things to...I did very good not crying till after he left..but now that he left, i am sitting here crying..my brother is going to steves house now to see him and i know hes going to be a wreck too...


on a journal topic--last night i ordered billy's taebo bootcamp tapes...plus i still have 2 weeks left at curves so i am going to try to go do a little bit there every day and weigh in on my last day and get measured to see where i am....after that, its just going to be the tapes and stuff around here that wont cost me a ton of money..

easter was fun here today--family came over, did an egghunt, hung out with my cousins...
this week i dont have work, just 2 days of classes...so i have monday, wednesday and friday off this week! i have a 5-7 page paper to do by thursday..i wanted to start it tonight, so hopefully thath appens..

Jen,

First, you are not psychotic. You are in the middle of some serious stress. You are allowed to vent, and your journal is a safe place to do it.

Second, I will add Steve to my prayers. I hope this war is over soon.

You are doing great in this upheaval. Use exercise to combat the stress.

Take care of yourself,
Beth

[sarahsmom73]

We love ya Jen!

 

[DoeWDW]

Jen's goin' to Bootcamp!! WOO HOO!! Billy will get you in shape, girlfriend!! Use those tapes to work out all your stresses!

I will continue to keep Steve in my prayers. You've done a remarkable job in keeping it together during such an emotional time. You haven't been psychotic in the least. You're a wonderful friend and Steve is lucky to have you and your family supporting him. Feel free to come here any time and let those emotions out. You know we all love ya.
