Navy For Moms

Wow.. Today has arrived sooner then I expected. Is it Me? Or is it a bad case of nerves? I woke up this morning physically sick. Couldn't figure out what it was. I thought maybe I over done it yesterday packing my house. Fought with my husband, fought with my daughter. Have a headache. Then I realized today's date. YES Battlestations. I'm nervouse. I have anxiety and most of all I am scared. But yet at the same time I am confident our loved ones will pass on and join the others before them on becoming a United States Navy Sailor. I'm anxious to get this show on the road folks. I am leaving Tommorrow morning begining our trip to GL. We have a few stops on the way. We need to pray for those in battlestations and for those that are traveling. I never imagined feeling this way today.. I am excited that we are at the end of our journey. What a ride. I am in the midst of packing for GL and thought I would drop in and say... SPONGE ME PLEASE?? I NEED A SPONGE HUG

Sponge Mom

UPDATE

Well here it is 1 am in the morning... Remember the commericals? They say a time and ask you? "Do you know where your child is"

I can honestly say YES I know where my child is... Battlestations.. GO SHIP 9!!

battlestations is the final, almost easy part. The fail rate is less then 1 %. It is only if they fall asleep, or do something that could hurt themselves or someone else that they don't make it. The sailors I know said it was kinda fun. It will be fine! Enjoy your sailor when you see him.

Dawn, HUG< HUG< HUG...I know exactly how you feel. I felt that way on Sept the 4th (Kyle) and Sept the 7th (Casey). And the wait for the phone calls...OMG it is agonizing! Casey didn't call me for a couple of days later. But once it is all over, you will feel as if a 500 lb wait has been lifted off of you. Everything is gonna be fine! You'll have a sailor before you know it! Be safe...Nancy

Meant to say: 500 lb weight-but it is also a "wait"....that's been lifted.

For goodness sake, do try to get some sleep tonight if you are going to hit the road tomorrow! Drive safely and have a fantabulous time in GL! :) A confident early Congratulations to you and your new Sailor. PIR is AMAZING. Take lots of pics, remember to hand someone your camera to get a whole family shot and get more than one of just you and your Sailor together. Wish I had remembered to do that. Enjoy your whole weekend. :D BIG ((HUGGSS))!
