Day Thirty-Eight.

It's been a roller coaster of a day.
I was just busy from the moment I got up this morning until this evening. It made the day go fast though and I'm already tired and ready for bed, which is odd for me this time of night.

I got to video chat with my soldier amidst the chaos of my morning. I dominated most of the conversation, going a million miles a minute with my chatter! He is always such a good listener!
He got to see the cat playing in the background today because I was sitting in a different spot than usual, and the scratching post was right behind me. He got a kick out of that. She is always so crazy and playful when I am on-line with him for some reason. 

He said they were mostly busy last night at the shop. He didn't have a lot to report, just that he got a hair cut today. We only chatted about half the time we usually do. I had to get ready for class and he wanted to take a quick nap before going into work.

Class was challenging today. Not so much in the content as much as the people. We had to work in groups and I ended up being on the short end of the stick with the direction our group wanted to go with a particular assignment, so I was really frustrated. It did however force me to address something that I am very sensitive about. I didn't outwardly react to my classmates, but I did cry my way home. I know I'm being very vague about it, but I will say that one person in my group made some immature comments about something, and it struck a nerve with me because I have had a bad experience in regards to the topic of her comment. I know it was unintentional, but it made me realize that I need to mend some of my old wounds. Even though I really just wanted to punch her!

This evening I went to the FRG meeting with two other spouses. It was mainly the same info that I had gotten at the company meeting, but I did learn a few other tid-bits of information. I found out when the Ball is for his unit and that the theme is "Old Hollywood" so that will be really fun!
We talked about how things should occur once our soldiers land and get bused to the base. It really just makes me antsy for it to start happening! I don't want to wait another month plus some... I am ready now!!!
