We All Have Baggage
In about a week, my husband will be boarding a plane with two military C bags and heading off for Army training.
I have no idea how he's going to fit all his stuff!
I guess I've always known that deployments were equipment intensive, but this is ridiculous.
For the last two weeks he has been collecting all of the things he is required to take on his deployment. Our entire foyer and hallway are filled with camo-print mounds of stuff. I have to admit I'll be glad to see it go. Too bad he has to go with it.
But I'm not looking forward to the moment when he realizes that there is no possible way to fit all that stuff in two bags. He's reminding me of a Gucci bag-rolling socialite with all her accompanying baggage.
Thank goodness for the US Postal Service.

You all will be in my prayers, I know it'll be hard, but you can manage it. I know if I can when my husband had cancer and was in the hospital for a week, and I was left alone with two autistic boys.
Take care of yourself, that will make you stronger and help make your kids stronger.
Here's to your husbands safe return, and tell him thank you for serving our country.
Thank you, Christi!
