Today was a good day. I worked today, subbing in my daughter's class. It was a good day and the class was a great class. At the end of the day, I had to run an errand on post, but it was a quick one and I was able to get it done quickly and then get to studying for my credential test. I have a lot to study, but I think I can get it down in a short amount of time. Mostly it has to do with remembering key vocabulary and teaching terms. If I can remember those, I will do just fine on the test. I have to work tomorrow, but will not work for the rest of the week, just so I have time to study, take the test, and then continue to fix up the house.
It is kinda funny they way my brain skitters off like a distract-able child who sees something shiny every time I think of how close Ian's R&R is. Today, my mind was going down my schedule for the week and the weekend, when suddenly I realized just how close R&R is getting. At that point, I saw the shiny thing and started thinking about R&R and all the plans we have for it. Our trip to Sea World, how excited the kids will be, what I am going to make him for dinners at home, where he wants to go out to eat, our date nights we have planned, the new friends I want to introduce him to.... The list goes on and on. It was literally 5 minutes before I realized that I was thinking about something else before that and hadn't finished that train of thought before I jumped the tracks to R&R.
I really can't help it. I am so excited and the lead up to is making me anxious. I can't wait. I know it is only two weeks, but I will take what I can get. I also think that if I am this excited about him coming home for 2 weeks, what will it be like when he comes home at the end of the deployment? I don't think I will be able to form a coherent sentence at any time in the month leading up to his homecoming. And I am more than okay with that!
My husband is my shiny object, and even far away he is distracting me. One day at a time, I am getting closer to seeing my shiny object in person. R&R is so close!
