Every day brings something new...

So every time Jack gets home from work I ask, "what happened today?" fully expecting something dramatic. Or when he calls I say, "OH NO! What now!?" and that's because for the last year and a half (what feels like forever) our Navy career has been on a pendulum. Sometimes it seems promising and other times it seems over. This week was an extreme case. Monday Jack received orders that we were being "honorably discharged" which was more than just a shock! Tuesday, he received a call saying it was a "computer error" and instead of having one year left, we have two...maybe even three. This still amazes me. It's like telling someone in the civilian world that they're fired and then the next day saying, "OOPS! We didn't mean that!" Crazy. Wednesday we found out that Jack might be going to Top Gun and by Friday we had cancellation orders to ensure that we aren't leaving in January and new ones to Top Gun!! Seriously?

I am thrilled for Jack though! This has been a goal of his for a while and even if we are out in 2 years, at least he's gotten everything out of it that he's ever dreamed of! It will be a challenge to my mommy hood. He is going to be gone for 6 weeks straight (which is the longest I've gone as a "single" mom) and will be gone most days leading up to that too!

Nothing much else to report. I am going to Lafayette tomorrow for one of my best friends wedding showers. Jack can't come because he has duty. Blah!!! I hate when he can't come to things. Sometimes I wonder if my Lafayette friends really believe I am married! It will be fun, though, so I can't complain. I am coming back early on Sunday to go to my best friend Frankie's house. She is pregnant and had an ultra sound on Tuesday. The Tech put the sex of the baby in an envelope and she is having a get together to open it for the first time. It will be exciting.

The kids have been good. I still need to find my camera cord to show cute videos and stuff. Ah well...it's been a stressful week. Maybe I can make it to Best Buy to buy another one next week.
