uhhhhhhhh,ha ha
That is about how I feel this morning, I worked all day yesterday pulling security at the local Bazaar and I am beat this morning. Sucks tho because I did not get to do any shopping myself.

Anyway, I came in early this morning to get some work done and of course it didn't happen. Insted, I log on to my computer only to see that the wife of a friend of mine is logged on so I say hi. Now her and her husband have been real close friends of mine for some time now and she began to tell me about some of the issues she is having. Now her husband, my friend, is in Iraq right now. The adjustment has been a littel difficult for her, the kids, and him as well. I know that I have been very fortunate with the capability to get online when I want and call home most every day and my friend is not able to do it. It is tearing his wife up. The kids are accting up, the oldest almost got kicked out of school, there are issues within the family they are having to deal with, and just a whole slew of new emotions and situations to deal with that are not easy. How does one do this, I find great strength in no only my own wife but in all military spouses, it takes a lot out of a person to deal with this lifesyle. I can't even begin to put it into words so I am going to post this poem. It is something that was sent to me last year and I have held on to it since. Please enjoy the read. It is amazing.
