so it’s pretty much a given that every time j leaves, something goes wrong within a few days.
his very first deployment was when we were newlyweds, and right after he left our puppy was seriously injured.
since then (this being our 5th deployment), it’s been an assortment of things.
car breaking down, car being broken into, me getting sick.
so i’ve been wondering what it would be this time.
this morning at about 7 a.m. i woke up to the sound of rain.
i quickly realized that this rain seemed to be IN the house.
i ran into the scrap room where there were countless leaks.
water was everywhere. i frantically grabbed every trash can, plastic container, and pot i could find.
get this. the water was INCHES from my camera. my computer was close to the leaks, as were ALL of my scrapbook supplies and albums.
so it’s a miracle that none of them were ruined or even got wet.
all of the leaks were consolidated to a small area, with nothing underneath.
my first thought when i saw the drops coming in was OH !@*#($*#(*$!!!
my second thought was “touche”. the big man came up with a good re-deployment crisis, i never would have seen this one coming.
when sadie got up, she walked to the scrap room, saw all of the containers,
and promptly said “UH OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”.
you got it, sister.
so anyway, that’s the latest drama.
we are doing fine over here, just staying busy.
i got the april kit from SC yesterday, and mustered up the energy to do one LO,
but i’m not super creative right now. i’m sure it will come back, it always does.
j called night before last, from kuwait.
i can’t wait to get the call/email that he got back safely.
this traveling part is what really stresses me out.
i hope you all have a beautiful day,
i’ll leave you with a few more photos from r&r.
love to you all, and sorry this is so boring. hee!

ETA: Apparently the chain of events isn’t over. Just went outside to find a completely flat tire on the car.
