Holiday Cookies!!
Let’s just say last night was not a good night. I got into the cookies again!! Geesh! Good thing I’m not seeing my trainer till mid January. I can not stand the Holiday’s due to these reasons cookies, food and more food. You see all the good stuff that you normally don’t eat then, it sneaks up on you and attacks full force. Luckily, my mind is straight. I threw all the cookies in the freezer so that when my son wants one he can get it out and have it. This way they are out of sight and out of mind! Let’s hope I don’t have too many more issues with holiday treats.
The countdown is on for my husband to come home. 7 days and counting down. Yay!! I have been low key regarding my feelings just because I did not want to get my hopes up. Anything can happen in Iraq. He now officially does not have to drive off post anymore, which means the risk of being blown up is very slim. Now don’t get me wrong I sound pretty hard with the way I’m writing but its the truth. He has been blown up before with an IED, and thank god he was safe and had no damage that was done to himself and others that were with him. So I speak reality. The main key is to get him home safely. Which we still have a helicopter ride back to kuwait, fingers are crossed that it goes as planned. When he comes home we will have 30days before he goes TDY again. That, for the peeps that doesn’t know military lingo is a short term non deployment. It means that he leaves for another 4 months to attend school in Arizona. We just came back from there 1year ago. You would have thought that they would have given us more time together since he is just getting back from a 12 mo deployment with an additional time away of 3mo prior to train up before deploying. It SUCKS!! Never the less we are at the military’s mercy.
