Just some things

Just lots of things on my mind....thought that if I blogged some it would help me sleep a little.
This past week has been full of stressers. Thing that happen everyday and things that just happen to certain people.
First, my husband has gone on his fifth tour overseas. He is gone until October. You would think that I am used to him going off to defend our country, but it gets harder everytime he leaves. Missing him. Thinking of all the things he does for his family, friends I hope that he stays safe. I tell him everytime that I just want him to come home. Even if he is injured. I can deal with broken, I wouldn't be able to deal with dead.
Second, the company that I work for has for the third time been sold. From what I can tell this is not going to be a good thing. Is there anything I can do about it? No. I finally find something that I love, the job that I thought I would be able to stay with for a long, long time. Looks like I may be looking for yet another job to love. What is next?
I have been talking about going back to school. That is kinda scary. I am 40 years old. Can I do that?
Third, my youngest daughter went to camp for a week! This is the longest she has been away from home. The first time she has gone to camp. I miss her soo much!! We did get a letter from her today. She is having a great time. Thank goodness. I was so afraid that she was not going to handle being away from home too well. Biking,hiking,camping, swimming tons of stuff. We told her she was going to have a great time. Greatful that she has just gone with the flow and is enjoying herself.
Four, a good friend of mine died. He was in a car crash. This guy was having a lot of hard times in his life. Life is so sudden and sometimes ends the same way. He veered over into the wrong lane and hit a semi head on. Both drivers were killed.
We go through life thinking that is full of suprises. It is. You know what else it is? It's scary. It's hopefully full of love. You hopefully take each day and learn something from it. It's okay to sometimes take things for granted, but always remember that it is a gift.
Thanks for reading today,

Pounding,banging and barking!! Oh, my!

I seem to be having some sort of attention problem today. First, I am on Facebook for a while. Then I read my book for a while. Got back on Facebook then did a "fill in" puzzle and now I am on here.
I think this must have something to do with the fact that this whole week my house has been going through alot of things. New roof and getting some work done in the basement. Nothing but pounding and banging. Then of course the dog is freaking out and barking almost non stop.
I have been taking Excedrin Migraine like they are M & M's! Don't want to go get a shot of Demerohl because what if something happens to one of the guys on the roof? Or what if the ceiling falls down or the guy working on the basement get an electric shock and I can't call 911?
The first night I came home when they first started the roof, I went into the bathroom and the floor was all wet. "um, Husband? Why is the floor all wet"? When he came upstairs of course the first thing he does is blame the dog for licking out of the toilet.
"That's not it I say I had to put the seat up". Husband starts looking and finally finds where the water is coming from. The vent in ceiling. One of the roofing guys poked just a little to hard and put a whole in the roof. Of course it was down pouring for a good portion of the night. Kinda hard to sleep when you think the roof is going to cave in on you.
Don't get me wrong here I think the roof looks great and the basement too! I am trying to convince myself that it was best to get these things done at the same time. Just one week of headache instead of two......... right? Someone tell me that I am right. I need to hear that I am right on this one. PLEASE!
Thanks,

I m thinking, I m thinking

So, I have been thinking of going back to school. I have also been thinking am I too old to go back to school? I know that there are alot of people out there older than I am that have gone back to school and "started" over in a new career.
I was never a great student when I was in high school. I did go to college for while. I even almost finshed my degree in boardcasting! I want to go back and do something with Criminal Justice. I never relazied how many different things you can do with this field. It has always been something that has intested me.
I was going to seriously look into this, I even talked to my hubby about it. He is leaving for his fifth tour in about a week and a half. Now, is not the best time. If I don't act on it now will I change my mind? If I don't change my mind will I be able to finish and get a job?
There are so many questions. Does anyone have any ideas? Anyone out there that actually reads this blog and will take the time to give me some thoughts?
Perhaps, if I do go back and get this degree I can hunt ya down and ask a ton of questions after!!
Thanks for reading. That is all for today.
