What are you waiting for?
Real Love isn't just peace and harmony
butterflies and day dreaming
It's fire and ice
It's pushing each other to the limit
yet being able to let it go
It's realizing you are doing things
you never wanted to before with out
even thinking about it just because.
It's not giving a care anymore to things
that used to bother you before.
It isn't that you have changed
It's because you have connected with
someone that wasn't a check list.
| Often times we forget who we are as we mirror ourselves unknowingly in the image of our friends. We forget what matters to us as we hide those we start to care about from those we see every day and or live with such as room mates. That they may judge us for desiring what may not be acceptable in their eyes. We become focused on being cool yet trying to convince ourselves we don't care. Or say such things as keeping personal things personal when in truth it is just an excuse to not have to admit that you are a better person as if it is a bad thing. Perhaps a better person is a bad term to use, but rather your own individuality. One of the things I feel that makes this world such a difficult place is that people can't just be. There will and is always someone who is judging, someone who is always hiding and someone who is always just.... There are bigger issues to deal with out there in the world, it isn't that I myself am guilt free of what I speak of, but I like to think of myself as a free thinker. I may have my opinions, I may have my values, but I do not push them on people and I let people be who they are despite who or what they are and who they want to be with. Life is too short to minimize your chances for happiness for the sake of keeping an image in the mirror of your friends.. |
Well as most who actually read my blogs know, my Son finally came home from his Basic training and AIT last Tues. 6-30-09. Today, we ran around to get him checked in as he had to by tomorrow.
So we went to VA Beach and checked him in where he was going prior to leaving for Basic, then we had to go to Portsmouth and check him with his actual Unit. So, my Son comes back out and tells me he has drills this weekend, which is fine, he has to have them every month since he is after all in the reserves. But then he drops it on me. His Unit is scheduled to be deployed to Afghanistan in February 2010. I don't know for how long. I am worried, it's 7 mos away. I'm not at panick mode yet, but I know as the time draws nearer I will be. Right now I guess I'll just put it out of my head as much as possible. The only comforting thing I guess is his field of specialty will keep him protected to a degree.
Well, after days of trying to get an answer, my Son finally got his flight plans today on his home coming. Talk about till the very end. Never mind the fact that people have lives, but I guess the National Guard does not see that arrangements on this end need to be made for his pick up. He got his plans at out processing today after graduation from AIT. He gets to fly in tomorrow night @ 1125pm. The only plus side is that he flies in to the airport that is like 1 mile away from home. Which is good really since I have to be at work at 7am and leave at 6 in the morning the next day. The rest of the week is so gonna suck. I am going to be so drained of energy. I will so be looking forward to my vacation starting on Saturday. My Brother and Niece fly in tomorrow morning at 1030am in Norfolk. My Sister in law flies in on Fri..
| Took this quiz on another site and found it so fairly accurate decided to share it's results on here.
Charlotte completed the quiz "What kind of mask do you wear?" with the result Strength . Your mask is strength. You try hard to fend for yourself. You do not let others do things for you. You often need to be in control of a situation, even if you can't handle it alone. You are always putting on a front, even if you don't feel strong at all. You don't let others see you when you're vulnerable, because you barely let your self be. Despite your flaws of always trying to act strong, you are a strong person, with strong character that can do anything you put your mind to. A lot of the times you really don't need anyone, and are perfectly capable on your own. However, there are times you find yourself wanting to let someone in but are not really sure how to..

WOW! Amazing how time flies!! I spoke to my Son tonight. I actually speak to him often as since he is in AIT. Anyway, as I spoke to him tonight, he tells me that he is on a bus on his way back to base. I guess him and his, IDK, class I guess, was out in the woods/hills/field, whatever..lol since Monday assisting another class do their exams. Well we were talking about when he was coming home.
He passed his final exam about a week and a half ago, but AIT graduation isn't till the 26th. He was told today that he would either be on a flight that night, possibly as late as midnight or early the next morning!!
So, I was sitting here and it dawns on me that he will be home in less than 10 days!!! He has been gone since Feb 8th I think, either way it's been almost 5 mos since he has been gone. That's a long time for Basic Training and AIT.
Whew! If these past 3 weeks have not been busy enough with work with the Boss being out with foot surgery, the next 2 weeks are going to be hectic. I have Mon and Thur only to get things organized for his homecoming. Thank God I at least have that Sat off when he comes home. My Brother and Niece flies in on the 30th, amazingly that is an off day too..lol my 2 days off for that week were miraculously the days My Son and Brother come in to town. My Sister in Law flies in on the 3rd, but I work and my vacation starts the 4th..lol
I'm just excited my Son comes home!!

Well, I've gotten to 99.99% of the next Level. I am only missing 7 referrals and it will take me to my Lost Soul stage. I think this will be the beginning of my slow departure from FU. It won't be any grand departure, I won't be saying any good byes, but slowly I will fade away. Slowly enough so to where it won't even be noticed. I'll either be gone completely or I'll still pop in from time to time. One thing I do know is that I will be giving up my VIP soon. I don't even use 5 of my 11's now a night. So I think it is wearing off on me.
Anyway.. that's all.
Yay Me!! In less than 12 hrs I will be on a plane for Oklahoma.. OK to Dallas first then Oklahoma, lol as if there could ever be a direct flight that didn't cost an arm and a leg. Anyway, to go see my Son who's been gone since Feb. 8th for those of you who know for Basic Training. He graduates on Thursday! Sooo, my Mother's day is on Wednes day. He gets a "Family Day", where I get to check him out for the day and won't have to return till around 8pm that evening and then he graduates on Thursday.
The only disappointing thing is is that we found out AFTER I had already purchased my tickets that he will be able to get a weekend pass once he gets in to his AIT school. See, his AIT is in the same base, just different part and of course different command and I guess they do not communicate well. I wish they would have, becaue I have my flight set to return this Friday. I would have gladly stayed till Sunday. The change costs more than the original ticket.. ugh.
Oh, but .. I also get to see my Best Friend who I haven't seen in 6yrs!!! He is flying in to Dallas and we are taking the same conencting flight in to Oklahoma. He is going to Jonathan's Graduation with me! I am sooooooo excited!!!!! I get to hang out with two of my favorite guys!!
Ya know, I should be packing or finishing up..lol my flight is at 7am so I gotta leave at 5 hahaha means I better get up at 3 huh?
