Soon......
I will see his face.
I will no longer have to be the only one chasing children.
I will be able to hand over potty training to him of his son.
I will have to give up control of the remote control every night.
I will have a lot more laundry to do.
I will find my house buried in a sea of ACUs.
I will have the "Army" smell back in the house. (Ummmm......do you know the smell I am talking about?)
I need to quit coming up with optional things to do and get the house straightened up.
I've made banana bread.
Found a cookie recipe that apparently I need to try before he comes back.
Window shopped online.
Emailed with a friend.
Thought that I really should go to the store to get a new trash can, but then thought better of it.
Watched mindless tv.
Anyone else procrastinate right before redeployment?
(When we lived in Germany and Gunner was returning from Bosnia, I waited till the last minute to do everything. They said they would give us a 3 hour warning. Instead we got about a half hour warning, and I had to shower, find something to wear, and race over to help a friend get her kids ready since she was a fellow procrastinator!)

I am so happy you will have him back soon. My hubby is getting ready for his first deployment since we've been married and I love reading things like this. It makes me remember it's only temporary. And yes I will probably wait until the last minute to do everything.

Congrats on your hubby coming home! I have NO idea how that feels but soon I will. =) My husband and I are on our very first deployment..his first as well. Its extremely hard but like Amanda M. said I remember by reading things like this that it is only temporary. He will be home soon. Not soon enough though. =) Have fun procrastinating! I imagine I will be the same exact way.
Yay! He's coming home. I am the same way when Gary is coming home. And YES! I remember that smell. Don't miss it.
So glad he's coming home soon! I'm really looking forward to your homecoming post!
And I know the Army smell! I could almost smell it as soon as I read that. I'm going to miss that smell while P is at school.
So happy for you guys! And yes, I always procrastinate before homecoming!
I'm so happy your family will be all together soon! Yay!
Its nice to read 'the other end'. My Husband is getting ready to leave...so I am on the flipside...
*sigh*
