Just Because

So, I haven't written a blog in a while. I've been rather busy the last few weeks with physical therapy, planning my trip home for Tabby's wedding, trying to get more organized, and my list just goes on....

Well physical therapy is going well. Although at the moment, I'm in a lot of pain because of my session today. I have chondromalacia (runners knee) and really bad tendinitis. Today's session really hurt, so the therapist taped my knee for the weekend, and well that didn't last long because my knee started to swell, so I have taken some motrin and will be icing my knee after I finish blogging. Hopefully, I will start to feel better soon because right now it really sucks!!!

Heading home on Memorial Day weekend for my friend's wedding, I'm a bridesmaid. An old one at that! HA! However, I'm so glad to get to see Tabby get married. On her wedding day, I will be remembering when I first met her when she was 6. Wow, how the time flies by, so don't forget to blink!!!

My house is still somewhat of a wreak. So, I have been trying to get better organized. I started with the yard because first off I'd rather be outside than inside on any day of the week. I'm going to tackle the office next. That's where the tornado hit, so I just shut the door. However, that is about to change. Wish my luck because I may not be able to come out of that room except for air.

I'm off to ice my knee. My life sometimes feels like a train wreck, but I jumped onto that train while the wheels were rolling, so I guess I have to just sit back and enjoy the ride.

He Called, Finally!!!

I'm sooooooo happy today!!! The boy finally got to call. I haven't heard from him in about a month, so I was missing him terribly. I woke up to the phone ringing at about 2 am, and I jumped and ran to the phone, but then it stopped ringing, so I sat there for about 5 minutes hoping he would call back (it felt like half a hour at least). Finally, the phone starting ringing, and I picked up the phone, and he sounded like he was crying. I said, "what's wrong babe?" He said, "I was mad and about to cry because the phone wasn't working well," and he thought he wouldn't get to talk to me. The phone service over in Afghanistan is very poor. I almost started to cry, but I was to happy to get to talk to him. However, it did make it very hard to fall back asleep after the phone call. Thank goodness for books!

I was asking him what he needed me to send to him, and he was telling me about the bad living conditions. For instance, that morning he woke up to rain falling on him because they were sleeping outside in the elements. I know he's a marine and he can tough it out, but I think to myself how difficult it has to be, and I could never do it. I'm sitting here writing a blog in the comforts of my home, and it makes me feel like crap.

On a good note, we are over the hump. YAY!!! He will be home soon safe and sound. I can't wait!!!

I'm soooooo thankful for my family and friends for all their support. I don't know what I would do without them.
