One

Ben returned on Sunday around 9pm.  The children were kept in the dark until about 7 when my dad hung up the welcome home sign.  They were very happy.  Sister was too but you could see in her face that the past six months had been painful for her.  A suffering of sorts.  It was written all over her face.  And, Brother.  He broke down after processing it.

Reunions are great.  Reintegrations are not.  Enough said, right military wives?

Three

It's upsetting to learn that a young girl's heart has been hurt repeatedly for a year as she was bullied in what is considered a pretty safe environment.  But, the adult leader is not able to be near every child as she teaches.  And, can't hear the mean words being said.  I know once she finds out what's been happening she'll be upset.  Words can hurt.  And, this beautiful soul has been carrying the pain silently for too long. 

Four

So many people need prayers right now.  Please pray for them all.  

Five

The ballet school had open curtain today.  It's always so fun to watch my girls.  Sister and Pumpkin both had their classes on Thursday.  Honey will have hers on Friday.  They've all gotten much stronger.  Sister and I stuck around and watched a little bit of the advanced group of gals.  I felt sort of sad watching them because I knew we were going to lose a few of them to PCS moves this summer.

Six

It's tax season.  I need to get our taxes done.  I also take care of my parents' taxes and one of my brothers.  My parents are going to visit Patrick and pick up his tax information for me.  I wish he lived closer so I could see him more often.

Seven

Sunday is the Super Bowl.  I need to dig out my Patriot bows.  Go PATRIOTS!!!

    I hope the reintegration goes smoothly. I’m so happy for you all although I have to disagree about Sunday, being a New Yorker and all.
