I have 9 more days until the hubby deploys so things have been weird around here, to say the least. He leaves on the 9th. He will be spending around 3 months in various training courses before getting to Afghanistan in February. Unfortunately we won't be able to see him during the transition time so when he leaves on the 9th, I won't see him for 9 months.
My son goes on a week long school trip on the 10th, so I am not sure how I will be dealing with the empty house. On the 20th, my son and I will be in the states until December 1st. My mother-in-law and aunt-in-law will be coming to visit for 1 1/2 weeks at the beginning of December. At least all of that will keep me pretty busy until mid-December. I am not looking forward to the Christmas holidays much this year, but at least my son will be with me rather than at his dads (we alternate holidays). I am thinking we will get a small tree and put up a few decorations, but nothing elaborate.
Um yea so thats my stream of consciousness thinking for today- tune in tomorrow when I discuss dinner menus for the next 3 months
