Yesterday’s events at Fort Hood hit a little too close to home, and I’m in absolute shock by what took place. We were supposed to be there. I have friends there (who are all fortunately ok). The shooter was supposedly upset about deploying and unable to handle the stress and/or fear – Mark is deploying soon with people I don’t know, people who are equally stressed and scared. What’s it going to take for one of them to snap? I couldn’t agree more with President Obama when he said: “It’s difficult enough when we lose these brave men and women overseas. It is horrifying when we lose them on American soil.” I am just sick over what happened. It just proves that anything can happen – anytime, anywhere. Please pray for the soldiers and families affected by the shooting.
Today: Friday! The boys’ curtains are up, my bookshelf is together, and the baby’s clothes are sorted by size. Today is all about laundry and homework. And sleep training. It’s time for Mr. Man to learn to fall asleep on his own again. We’ve been home long enough to have time to adjust, and he’s sleeping in his twin bed like a pro. It’s time. I should have done it a long time ago, but I just wasn’t ready. I’m ready now. I’ll be channelling Supernanny over the next several nights, and I’ll update you with our progress. I do love weekends, and I’ve got big plans for ours – GO!
