Today, we went with Jake to work at 6:15 because he was leaving. After about an hour and a half of waiting around in the car, Jake comes back out to say that they arent doing anything and they have to be back by 12:45. So off we went to get a Wawa sandwich. It was delicious! So we went home to spend sometime just hanging out as a family. So we head back at 11:00 so that he could fill out some paperwork, then we spent time at a park on base. At about 12:15 Addy and Ellie were tired and hungry so we said bye-bye to Jake and headed home.
I've only had to do one other drive like this. It was the day before Jake left for RTC about 2 years ago. I've had to drop him off before, but I always knew when to look forward to. That time and this, I have to wait for a phone call to know anything at all. I guess it's the uncertainty of things that hurt. I was fighting back tears the whole ride home today. This is the first deployment in his 2 years in the Navy that I'm having to do without my mom to help me out. I've got to stay strong because I have to people depending on me. I'm going to be strong.
Went on a walk today, it was rather short because Addison decided she wanted to act out and run into the street. So after a spank and time out, I gave Addy and Ellie a bath so they could nap. Not long after getting dressed, Ellie was sleeping. I had been texting Jake and learned that he was still on base. We hadnt gotten lunch because the girls were screaming their hearts out, so I offered to bring him food. It was a race againsit time because at any minute they were going to get on the road. I made it literally with a minute or two to spare. Crazy rush! Anyways, we've had one day, about ready to get to bed...
Here's my picture for today
