The boot list

It has hit me like a brick that Ken has been gone a lot 2 1/2 weeks gone, home a week gone for two more weeks home a month except a drill then gone 5 days and another 2 weeks. WHEW! So here I am and I've got my big girl combat boots on ready to take on the tasks that come each day except the emotions. That part is too big of a job for boots or background. Each deployment is different, and I have held my own until today. The first time anyone has asked me how I am doing with this pre-deployment stuff and I got teary eyed. You see I ask myself all the time and really I am tuff but it's harder to be tuff when it's someone else who knows you well. So big girl boots on I ponder how to make the "best" of it. SO I have come up with crazy things to do to pass the time...it's called the boot list. Things I'd like to do during the deployment. #1 Spend more time with God #2 Take as many sweet shots as I can before, during and after this "adventure". #3 Remove stress factors #4 Cow tipping! (yes I know) #5. Meet the needs of others #6. Be real about it. #7. Keep the tissues handy #8. Bless my husbands socks off. ; ) and many more to come.
