I’m so behind on everything. I’m totally covered up. If I haven’t answered an email, please forgive me. They are stacked up to my ceiling and I’m digging through them as fast as I can. I have to figure out how to get organized cause whatever I’m doing isn’t working.
BLAAHHHH.
BTW - no word from Soldier Son yet. The last I heard they were still stuck in an undisclosed location in Baghdad. At least they left their FOB and are waiting to get out of the country. They may or may not have left in the wee hours of this morning to go to Kuwait. I haven’t heard if they were actually able to leave this time. I hope so. If so, I hope to hear from him when he gets there.
My husband told me he waited in Saigon for week to get a flight out of Vietnam. What can I say, its the military. They’ll eventually get them out of Iraq.

Hi Beth! Well, I have been reading your blog for week or so now and while our politics are different, I would say our thoughts and support of our troops are locked up tight. I know what these last few days are like, the anticipation of a son coming home from the war, the sinking pit in your stomach worrying about those last few hours and then the indescribable joy of holding on to him again. You know what special place I am and where I am coming from, so please hold on tight and enjoy every single second. Give him a bar-hug and shake his hand for me please with a big thank you!
