too long

So it's been a while since I've written... sorry about that! I've been spending a lot of time in Atlanta with family trying to cope a bit with this pregnancy and the heat and it's nice to have the folks nearby to help with my son.. he's wilder than a hoot owl at this stage and sometimes I just need a bit of a break! I feel bad for the hubby sweating his ass off at Airborne school and I know there's been a few heat casualties..one soldier even died... but the moral of the story is if you don't drink water and take care of yourself well it happens.. my friends joke that my husband is the most well hydrated man on the planet.. I'd have to agree and I wish that I could drink that much water but how I look at it, he drinks a lot of beer too so he needs the extra hydration!
So, my husband reenlisted last week! At first I had some mixed feelings with all the crap going on in Iraq but I'm a firm believer that if I take him away from this (and it's something that he really loves) someday he will resent me for it..also I have always thought that when it's your time it's your time...getting out of the military b/c I'm worried about my husband getting killed goes against that! I'm a statistics girl and I have to tell myself that there's a better chance dying in a car wreck or of cancer than in Iraq... I mean look at the numbers... sure too many have died at this point and one servicemember killed is too many but for the amount of people over there it's not that big of a number! Americans don't look at the big picture... they feed off the liberal lying media and then get frenzied up over garbage! All these stupid people out there want Bush to outline a plan.. yeah I'm sure that the insurgents would love to hear it as well! Let's give them a timeline with an exact date and tell them, "this is when you can come in b/c Iraq will be at its weakest". I mean are people really that stupid? I guess I should know this by now! Do we want this to end up like the last lift out of Hanoi.. people throwing their kids at servicemembers and hanging onto choppers??
So, this being my hubby's last reenlistment with base of choice, we went where he can get the school he wants and then from there he puts a wish list in for the group he wants... of course we'll try to get back overseas with 10th but we're really at the Army's mercy now for the next 4 years! I have no doubt however that in 12-15 years he will be running division... that would be his ultimate dream... 82nd ABN division CSM... mark my words.. he'll do it! So, it's back to NC in April... I haven't been there since '99 and I must say that the first time it was a miserable experience(of course that might have something to do with an ex husband and friends that sucked) but my love assures me that this time will be better(hmm sounds like he might be deploying..lol)..
Anyways, all else is well with the little kicker and the family! My ultra sounds were fine and I'm just really waiting for this pregnancy to be over! At least we won't have to move while I'm 9 months prego... April gives me time to scout out a place to live, find a renter for this place and talk to some people about preschools.. thank God... well hope all of you are well.. remember to pray for our troops.. and to my sweet E..happy 28th.. I love you with all that I am!!
