Countdown to Deployment, 2……..

I really thought that during all this prep time I’d be able to sit down and write about all the things we’ve had to think about and do.  Boy, was I ever wrong!  At the end of each day, I’d think of all we’d done or the lengthy list in my head and I couldn’t make enough sense out of it to write or talk.  So, I’d mentally check off what had gotten done and add and add and add to the list that still existed and crawl into bed thinking I’d lay it all out the next day.  Now, here we are, 2 days before Clay walks out the door.  The list is still just as long, my house is full of family and friends (which I love) and there are a million ways I could talk about the process of getting a large family ready for Dad to walk out the door for a year.  But the truth is that there are too many things to take care of in these 48 hours to spend the time to put a show together or write lengthy blogs about all we’ve learned or remembered to do.  So, the  process will be laid out in hindsight.  Truth be told, we’ve dealt with deployments from the very (VERY) beginning, so a lot of it is automatic.  But, there’s much to share, especially about prepping the kiddos and taking care of the needs of the kids who are away.  So, bear with me and I’ll be here to lay it all out in show and blog in the near future.  Until then, it’ll be these little snippets.

Have a great day~
