New Year - again
Well, here I sit - a new year and a new blogspot.
I just wanted a fresh start as I wade through the rest of this deployment. Should anyone happen upon this blog I am the mother of an Infantryman in the 101st Airborne who is currently serving his second deployment in Iraq. He is ETS. (End Time Service) That means his actual 4 year enlistment period ended September 5th but he was stop-lossed and is held over for the period of deployment (one year) and will not get out until approximately 4 months after his return from deployment. Now that actually is a good idea as that will give him time to be checked out by the Army to be sure he is physically and mentally sound before he returns to civilian life.
With this blog I hope to have an online outlet for my own journey through the second deployment and if no one read it - that's fine with me....
To which end I will get offline now and actually write this child of mine a letter.

Welcome to blogging from one mom to another. Blogging is how I managed to get through the last 18 months. I have met some of the most wonderful mothers in the world through my blog. I am just hoping that my son does not have to go back for a second tour. Don't know that I could deal with another year of the sand. Tell your son thanks for me please, for serving our country.
