NO NO NO NO NO......

How in the HELL do you stop crying and be an understanding, supportive, wonderful mom when one of your kids tells you he/she is getting ready to deploy?? How in the HELL do you stop crying and be an undetstanding, supportive, wonderful mom when your planned trip to visit your deploying child is cancelled because they have to go TDY for combat and survival training? How in the HELL do you stop crying and be an understanding, supportive, wonderful mom when another child calls you up right in the middle of all this and says, "ummm, Mom? I just talked to (my brother/sister) and he/she should be back before I go in (insert month here)....

That's it for now.
Isnt' it enough?

Before BabyBlue flies off into the wild blue yonder, both other KidBlues are going to play in the sand.

I may not get out of bed for a while.

AND THEN THERE WERE THREE...

Well... it's like this.

I thought Lil'DD was going to stay with me until she turned 30. No such luck.

Today she was sworn into the Air Force delayed entry program, just like the other two did.

I have THREE in the Air Force.
She'll go after graduation.
