All I need to do is close my eyes and think of this past weekend. Serenity. Now. Can I just give you an overview of the next month, starting today?
This week, at work we are hosting our agency. That means, all day long meetings. All day. After those meetings, it's dinners.
This weekend, I'll be in San Antonio for Bev's shower, I'm a co-host and seeing a couple of friends.
Then, April 1 - we move into the new apartment. Cowboy accidentally left it unlocked when we last viewed it; so we have been popping in and out of it all weekend long, unbeknown to the management. It's been fun. Each time I pop in, I pop back out with a new idea for the space. We're doing something wild - 2 living rooms in one. Actually, a sitting room and a living/den all in one space. Basically a daybed in the sitting area - which can convert to a guest room spot for guests. I'll take pictures to share once complete. (FYI: The infamous Keep Calm poster will be the focus of our living space)
April 4-5, Cowboy is out of town for his drill weekend.
April 9-11, I'll be in Salt Lake City, Utah for work.
April 11 - 14, Cowboy and I will be in Phoenix, meeting the families.
April 15-17, work just tentatively scheduled a work play day with our agency in San Antonio.
April 18, we are hosting a Game Night/Housewarming/Good Bye Party.
April 21, Cowboy is deployed to Iraq.
Anyone want to switch with me? Anyone? Anyone? That's what I thought.
I glance down at my day planner, yep I have one of those, and my body just sinks, my head aches and tears dwell up. How in the world are we going to do all this? How? Then I think of this past weekend.
My boss gave me last Thursday off giving me a 4-day Holiday weekend. Each day was perfect. The days lasted long and the weather was sunshine. The only thing it lacked was brunch...I won't go there. We went furniture hunting, PSP purchasing, lunches and dinners out, rented movies, attempted to watch one at the theater (I'm so not recommending Funny Games. Let's just say, it's the first movie I have ever walked out of.) and making plans for the hectic upcoming crazy month ahead.
When we were planning it verbally, it sounded doable. Looking at my calendar visually...not so much fun. Not one bit.
Serenity. Now!

Phew. I'm tired just reading that!
awwww...Golightly...how long will Cowboy be in Iraq? That sucks big time. I will pray for him and his sae return to you and your new place together....
I feel the same as you, but lets add the fatigue of being pregnant in last weeks of the 3rd trimester. Somehow we'll both survive.
I'm so tired of any thinking about it.
Beth - he leaves mid April and will be gone for 4 months :(
