Well it is 5:30 and I have been up an hour. AJ left about a half hour ago, and I thought that if I stayed in bed, maybe saying good bye for this initial part, wouldn't be so difficult. Yeah right! That is why I am wide away an hour and half before my alarm went off. You would think after ten years of marriage, 4 deployments, several work ups that saying good bye would get easier even if it is just for a week. I think reality hit this morning that my whole world is changing right now. AJ won't be just a cell phone call away when I need to ask him a question, or want to tell him something.
I am looking forward to a quick end of the week. We have a field trip today, so it will be nice not to be cooped up in the classroom all day. Thank you all for your kind words and E-mails this weekend. I know that I can do the next 9 months with all of your love and support.
