H54F: Finally the weekend

1. I say “finally” because Mac hasn’t had a weekend since Easter. He spent two solid weeks in the field, came home Monday night, and had to be back at work at 8 am on Tuesday.

2. Because Mac is gone so much, I can adjust to him being home or not pretty quickly. Monday night, I zoned out watching TV. I rolled over to go to sleep and was completely surprised to see someone sleeping next to me. #wifeoftheyear

3.  We had a wives’ get-together last weekend while the men were in the field. I spent 4 hours with over 15 children, and the exhaustion I felt rivals what I felt after finishing a half-marathon.

4. I’m totally a crazy cat mom and sent Mac a daily picture of Purrburger while he was in the field.

5. After a year and a half of being in non-traditional Army situations, it’s nice to be back with a proper unit. I’m happy to have coffees and FRG meetings to attend. Yesterday, we had an FRG barbeque, and I was able to meet Mac’s soldiers. One of them is married to the most charming German lady, and I’m genuinely enjoying adult company (sadly, the cat isn’t too chatty. But she is currently watching Pocahontas with me. JK, now she’s staring at me because I tried to sneak a picture of her.). 

Hope y’all have a wonderful weekend!
