Good Morning Campers!!
Well hubby has been gone for almost 2 weeks and I have allowed myself a week of feeling sorry for myself.. a week of letting my son take advantage of not having his dad here and having his friends hanging here and eating me out of house and home..a week of cooking meals hubby doesn't really care for...a week of hibernating from my friends and the constant phone calls to see how I am...a week of being crabby and miserable but enough is enough...I have had enough of that and am ready to move into the next phase...focusing on me..setting some goals and doing the things I like to do...I refuse to sit here feeling sorry for myself anymore!! I have been going to the beach with my beach buddy but other than that not a whole lot...next week I am going to spend some time working in the yard...I am going to get my CEU's done to get my Medical Assistant Certification current...and I am going to plan a trip out to see hubby in San Diego..he will be there for a conference for a few days and I am going to take advantage of that and go see him and visit with his family for a few days...the only person who can change the way I feel is me...I feel so much better this morning...I have an invitation to go to the Fish Camp by the river tomorrow evening...next weekend I am going to Tallahassee with my friend to go save another friend who is in a worse rut than me and take her out for a girls night out...I have a bag full of new books from Booksamillion that I intend to put a dent in... I want to get started on my writing...and I need to get this house in tip top condition for my dads visit in 2 weeks...so things are looking up and I am back!!!
I am making the rounds on the blogs..doesn't take nearly as long any more as not many of us seem to be writing...sad really..I can remember a time when I couldn't keep up!!
Have a great weekend!!

Glad to see you back on track with a plan. Activity gets me out of a funk quicker than anything else.
I have been wondering how you were doing. Glad your getting to the next phase. The beach sounds great, we are getting the start of our fall season here.
I am so happy you are BACK! Yay! And enjoy the you time. And your dad's visit is going to be awesome!
be well...
good for you....you go girl!
Welcome back! It must be tough-but keep you friends close. Enjoy your alone time--I know it must get old after awhile, but it's the best excuse to start a new project! A trip to San Diego will be good-something to definitely look forward too. The weather here in California has been awesome! Take good care! Julie
You are so right about being the one in charge of how you feel. I hope you enjoy your trips and have lots of fun with the gals and with hubby and his family too. SanDeigo
is supposed to be a beautiful place. Keep up keeping up!!!!
Glad you are back, and feeling better.
Did you watch RHOA last night ?? Kimmy is such a drama queen.....
Been a while since I stopped by...this pregnancy is draining me more than the first one.
I guess hubby got shipped out then. I'm glad you are feeling better about it though and finding ways to keep busy and hang with the girls.
Will be back soon (I hope, ha).
enjoy your trip to san deigo. I loved it out there.
I just did 40 days with out the hubby and couldnt imagine doing longer. hugs
Sounds like the right amount of feeling sorry for self, now time to look forward. Good for you :o)
Been thinking about you. We all need our blah time..glad to hear that you're going forward with some plans for YOU....
Enjoy the time with the girls..sounds like fun.

I was wondering how you were getting on Lyn - a difficult time of adjustment it must be.
But good for you !! Use it positvely and enjoy it best you can.
SO jealous of your 'beach time'

San Diego? I have a nephew there, at the Uni I think, now but been there about 7 or 8 years altogether.
Int it horrible when people keep asking how you are? Enjoy your 'me' time.
love. Angie, xx
Glad your back,Cookie!
So glad to hear that things are getting back on track! I always say Keep on keepin' on, whatever that means, and it sounds like that is just what you are doing. Hooray! Have fun at the beach and enjoy plowing through a pile of good books... I can't remember the last time I got to read more than one book at a time. *hugs*
So glad that you are back, and feeling better, not allowing that depression to set it... you're in control.. good girl!!!
Hey Babe! Glad you're feeling better and starting to turn a corner. It always takes time to adjust. God knows I am in awe of military wives and how they do it over and over. You are my hero!
Enjoy your trips and beach visits.
Love and hugs from Down Under...xxx
Whenever you feel down, just shoot me an email! I'll take care of you! LOL
Have a great week.
Glad to hear that you are starting to feel like your self again. That bag of books sounds wonderful! Enjoy. Linda
I think going to the beach and getting a bagful of books is an excellent way to spend your time!
Take care.
Sorry about the fight, glad that you ae doing better. I find that going to the beach can be very relaxing and a form of therapy.
I was thinking last night how much I miss the old journals, it is just not the same as before. It makes me sad. I decided to start writing again too much going on and I feel like I am going crazy! Enough rambling...lol Take Care...
whuuu huuuu so glad to hear. Can I jump on your wagon?

Love the new look on the journal page Lyn...
Glad to hear you are doing a bit better.
Words can be so hurtful...and really never taken back.
Enjoy the trip to San Diego.
Blessings,
ALBERTA Lori
Hard to believe he's been gone 2wks already. Not for you I'm sure. Sounds like you're on the right track making all these plans. I don't know what I would do if my DH had to be gone. After 37 yrs of him spoiling me rotten, I'm not sure I could take care of myself-that's not a good thing either. LOL. Glad you're back writing. I'll try to keep up. It is sad that so many people from JLand didn't keep writing.
Take care. Barb in Wst TX
Hey Lyn, just checking in and wondering how you're doing. Hope you and your family are well! I miss reading your posts! Come back soon! :)
(((Lyn)))
I've really, really missed you! I'm happy you are onto the next phase--it's a good thing.
Keep in touch with us as much as you can ok? I've been bad too.
Huggers, Gayla

Hey Lyn. I've not stopped by in awhile. For that I apologize. It was just too much for awhile. Now that I'm on my own again, I'm trying to find my new normal and I hope it involves keeping up with you a bit more. I've read some of the posts leading up to the big L's deployment and all I can say is "Wow." It sounds like you've come through it alright and now you're in San Diego I think. I wish for you peace and happiness sweetheart. Please know that I think of you often. MWAH!
Hi Lyn, I`m one of those that hasn`t been writing lately, well for the last two months to be exact and even now the circumstances aren`t happy.
It looks like you will be kept busy for a while, going to the beach sounds like my idea of a perfect day. :o)
Love and Hugs
