Finally I have dates for my son’s homecoming. I am so ready for the deployment to be over. It wasn’t a combat deployment, but regardless, it was hard. We are only weeks away and I can tell from my son’s email that he is more than ready to come home. I posted about this here. [...]
We took the car to the dealer and they replaced the battery, which BTW went bad all on it’s own. Not driving it had nothing to do with it. The car is still under warranty so there was no charge! All is good here in deployed son land. So far. I am up early waiting [...]
Well, after a month of no contact I finally received a email from Cpl Honda. Yes, it is Cpl Honda. He was promoted on Feb 1! He said he feels like he can get on with his career now. Career is an important word because depending on the day you ask he would say he [...]
I have read on a few military wives’ blogs about deployment gremlins. I am assuming they are problems that only crop up during deployment. My gremlins definitely inhabit that damn car.

I was happy thinking, alright this will be done, and we will not have to worry about it anymore. So. I. Thought. I get in [...]
My cellphone rang yesterday and I did not recognize the number. Most of the time I do not answer it. I hate being bothered by salespeople and such. But for some reason I felt compelled to answer the phone. Thank goodness I did because it was LCpl Honda calling from somewhere on the other side [...]

Normally I would not worry too much but I need to communicate with him on some financial issues. I believe they are out of range for communications and I am sure they are involved in some intense training exercises. Still I need to talk [...]
This is my newest post on Parent’s Zone. I was just thinking the other day about how lucky we are as parents of deployed children to be able to communicate with them during deployment. Do not get me wrong. It is still very hard to sleep with the phone, check email countless times and [...]
