Great expectations...
You know... for some stupid reason, I always think I will be able to look ahead and know what will come next in my life...
So many things change so quickly that I can barely comprehend it all...yet I keep on thinking I can figure it out. Duh.
I have a new calling at church that I feel totally inadequate to do...as president of the young women in our ward. Talk about overwhelming. My big question has been "WHY ME?" and the answer that keeps coming back is "Why NOT you?"
And..
After meeting with his commander, A found he will still have to go to that large sandbox in the middle east before he can retire. He leaves in December and will be gone a year, minimum.
We aren't suprised, but a bit disapointed. When we told the kids, they weren't suprised really either, because we had already talked about the possiblity, but E cried at the thought he would be so far away. She asked a lot of questions about whether or not he would have to shoot his gun, or if other's would be shooting their gun at him. It was upsetting to her... but I think she has found some peace.
Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed at the idea of being a single parent for a year again... I feel weak.
I hope the big guy upstairs is available for constant consultation and doesn't get sick of me....
Otherwise, I won't make it.
