life is going on. my life that is. i have pulled out of the depression it seems, as i usually do. is it bad that when i get depressed anymore, i don't worry about it? hmmm. i know, i am a strange cookie.
i have been working hard on getting ready for my trip to california. i am excited that i am going to meet people i have spoken with in some way or another, on the internet. armymoms who have shared the fears of this war that continues on.
my daughter is now a civilian, as many of the other moms i have "met". also, children of many of these moms are still soldiers. still deploying to iraq or afghanistan. their fears continuing. i am thankful that my daughter chose to "opt out" after she had her first son. to opt out is to just go home when your time is up. you did your job for however long you promised to do it, and then went home. unfortunately for many of my friends, their children did not opt out. they instead reupped. signed up for 4 more years. signed up for more time away from their families. not only their parents, but their wives and children too.
one of the moms that i have contact with, her son is leaving for his 5th tour overseas.
children are so unfair to us mothers.
in my job, i will get to deal with veterans. i do not know if it is the older guys, younger guys or a mixture of them. i just know i will be "shooting" the vets. the flu shot i will be giving is the general yearly one. the N1H1 is not available as of yet, but it will be soon. i do not know if i will be giving any of those though. never know.
well, this is not really the type of writing i wanted to do in this blog area, but i wanted to stop by and let people who are reading me to know that i am ok. i knew i would be.
