The weatherman predicts...a deployment coming!

Is that like a typhoon? I sure hope not. I have mixed feelings about this deployment. I'm excited about all the things I'm going to accomplish while Robert is gone but I'm also nervous. I'll be honest- this will be the first time I've been on my own. I've been lucky to have him home as long as he's been - but it's time for him to go. Twelve months sure is a long time....I've known about this since January and for some reason I wish I only had a week's notice. A year of thinking about a 12 month deployment has put a huge knot in my stomach. I just wish it were January and he were leaving. I'm ready to start counting down!
I watched the footage of 9/11/2001 on the news this morning. Watching it affected me more this morning than in years past. The confusion was what stood out to me the most. I couldn't imagine being in Manhattan that day. The terror - the footage plays out on TV like a movie and I can't begin to comprehend how surreal it must have been for those people. 2,557 days since the terrorist attack. I wonder what's up with Donald Rumsfeld's arm?
