Remember, HE would want you to take care of yourself and needs to know you are doing okay while he is away
You have to make the effort to make it special for you. Do you have favorites that he doesn't care for maybe? Make it for YOU!! Make the effort to sit at the dining table and eat, don't eat at a tray or on the couch. Put on some upbeat mood-lifting…
Navywife1126: Be careful about eating. When I was first married, my husband was in the Army and got sent to Korea. I felt much the same as you do, what's the point in cooking for just one person. I ended up passing out at work and having to go to th…
yeah, I guess I should have said 'my son's girlfriend's email'. Funny thing is my husband is always calling me his girlfriend, so I AM checking hubby's girlfriend's email.
dollys, you crack me up. I guess I forget not everyone gets home from work at 3:45 like I do. I'm just having a pity party lately and I REALLY need to snap out of it. I swear, if my husband asks me one more time what's wrong I'm gonna bean him!
I'm getting so pathetic about this email thing, I've been checking my husband's email too. If I knew the girlfriends password, I'd be checking that too.
MM, was he on the Ike. I was just in the 'chat' section and was told the Ike returned to Norfolk today.
I don't think they use mayo in the tuna--I think it is in it's own little packet for you to add if anything.
I just looked at the Groups page and it is sorted by 'Most Active'. Can you guess where I found our group?!?!? I'm thinking a lot of you are on different time zones than me or something though cuz it's always so 'quiet' in here when I'm on. Is it me…
UUUUGGGGGHHHH!!! I WANT AN EMAIL AND I WANT IT NOW!! Still no news from my son. I sent a letter to him this morning, definitely hoping to have email answers to my questions soon. I'm sure he's keeping busy and all. I'm driving myself nuts, checking…
dollyslaffin--My son's birthday is Jan 10. Please add us to the thread.
GORSH!!! You all have been busy today. I had to go back 25 PAGES to find my comment from yesterday. Ok, still no email from my sailor son. Can someone explain to me how it works. He is kind of shy about asking questions, so I'm thinking he probably…
God, I hope I get an email from my son soon!! We just changed email services and I'm not 100% sure he knows my new email address. I'll have to have the hubby check his email inbox.

WHOOO HOOO!!
Navy beats Army yet again! It was fun experiencing the rivalry between my ex-Army husband and our Navy son. Thank goodness for modern technology that allows us to 'chat' with him while he's on the other side of the nation.

Where'd he go?
My son has been in Pensacola since 10/7. He has been waiting to 'class up' for aircrew. Once he got his cell phone and laptop, we have talked almost every day. So, I've become spoiled and have forgotten about the 7-8 weeks of boot camp with NO communication. How soon we forget!
Last week, his girlfriend flew out to spend Thanksgiving with him. He called to say she arrived on Tuesday, to say Happy Thanksgiving on Thursday and to say goodnight on Sunday. Since then we have heard NOTHING! I know i… Continue

I'm So Proud of My Son
A little under three years ago, I was talking with our Children's Pastor at church about my son, B. "I think he's going to be my failure to launch child," I said. He was failing high school. He was having discipline problems. In comparison to MANY people, all of our problems with him were rather trivial, but he was heading in the wrong direction. Through several extenuating circumstances, he started making the turn around he needed.

Airport transportation needed
I'm desperately seeking someone who might be going from Great Lakes to OHare on Sunday, 10/4/09. I have two travelers that I need to get to OHare for an 8:20 pm flight. My husband and I would get to spend an extra couple of hours with our graduating Sailor if someone could find room in their car for a couple extra people. We would be willing to share gas costs or whatever.

BunkerBee said… - Hello Alaina,
Hope your sailor and you are doing well. I was thinking of your sailor because my younger son is taking up the guitar and was thinking complications of traveling w his instrument. Please let me know if you are still on for July 10 meet and greet. I will leave setting up the event in your good hands since you have done it a number of times in the past. A number of my friends got deleted by mistake when I was trying to shrink my friend list from over 500 down to a manageable size. My apologies. The N4M addressbook really sucks.
Regards, Bee

Beth proud mom of Garrett said… - Alaina, his career in the Navy will much more significant and successful if he's in the right job. He knew what he could handle and got out of RSS when it was right for him. May God grant him the best next step in his Navy service!

- On the RSS group you asked, "will everything be ok?" It will. Each day will bring new challenges for your son. He'll handle his part. You have to be really strong for him. Listen when he calls. Let him talk and vent. If your communication is electronic - reread your words to him before you hit "send". Make sure he senses your confidence in him. You're his support team. You'll be the one constant in his life while he deals with training, testing, etc. I was so humbled by my son's success getting through the training. He is small - short and very thin. He has innate athletic ability, but never really maxed it in high school. He did so well because of his attitude. If Garrett could do it, your son will , too!

- Hey there. I know Bobby told Gerry a few nights ago that I might be flying out on Spring Break to see him, but I wanted to tell you in person so that I know that you personally know (make sense? haha confusing). Anyways, I booked the flight today to fly there in March. See you soon! -Carly

lemonelephant said… - Since you have changed your Username so that it does not include your last name, also do the following so that your webpage address does not include your name any more: Look in the upper left hand corner under your picture and information; it says Manage My Page or Photo. Click on My Page. The next screen says My Page Settings. Go down to the Address and in the box next to “http://www.navyformoms.com/profile”, make the change to Alaina or something else. Blessings to you and yours.
