25 - you make me laugh. Thank you. When we lived in Maine, it was so different culturally from the South. I swear I heard them talking about how to make iced tea in the back the first restaurant we visited. The cold and dark make a horrible combo. And you are correct, Officers' Wives Club saved my life there too. Had first baby alone during a 6-month deployment.

S16 got his drivers' license today! Woohoo!!! Or, be still my heart. He had to call his D to get the insurance card because he blocked me from his account for his privacy...but it all worked out and he passed his test.

This weekend miscka, I was feeling sad sitting on the porch all alone on a Friday waiting for S18 to be home (10 oclock at least) and S16 is at work and I remember what i HAVE....birds, rain, screen porch, kids home soon, comfy couch and big tv above mantle, etc, etc...because I started getting DOWN about NOT having H here to share a fun Friday night cooking dinner, waiting for the kids. His loss.....SO hard to remember. So easy to feel sorry for myself. Geez......why is it so hard to be alone and be happy? I remember envying those women in the Navy. I grew up in big, loud, happy family with lots of extra people around ALL the time. Is that it? Or am i crazy codependent????

Mishka, your FIL gone? Hope you had a good visit. Let's get coffee next week.
