The Crazy Garcia House: America's Got Talent....

That was on tv this evening as I was cleaning up from dinner. The last contestant was an spc. in the army who had just came back from serving 15months in Iraq.. He gave a little background story and it triggered the sad feelings that I am trying really hard to escape me right now.. Been :( since that.. I am definitely trying REALLY hard to focus on the positives that will come from all this but sometimes its just easier said that done.. Lissa said on her blog EXACTLY how I feel all the time. Yes-Staying busy does help in some regard but all it takes is something so small that just sucks all the happiness out of you and you are just left feeling so sad and alone without your spouse. I sometimes wish that time would just travel like the speed of light to get me through until December.. In saying all of these sad thoughts I am feeling- I know it was Ricardo's time to go over there and serve his dues.
On a happier note I went to a luncheon this past Saturday that was for the deployed families. It was put on by the family service center at Brooks City Base. I arrived a bit late as I had some issues signing Ricky up for football. Anyhow once I got there I had a wonderful time. It was held at a family fun center that was a combo of Mr Gattis and a Malibu Grand Prix. Of course all the kids who came had a wonderful time. I was able to meet a few people. There were quite a few military members and their families there that came simply to show support and offer up any help possible.. There is alot of assistance out there if needed and its definitely great to feel that you/I am not alone in that regard.

School is starting back up in less than a month. It seems we have a full calendar until then-with football practice mon-fri starting next week. I am crossing my fingers that Marc will not have to work the last weekend before school starts back as I would have the chance to take them to Corpus for a few days.

Got Ricky all signed up for football and let me tell you he is really pumped up this year about playing tackle! The league I originally wanted to sign him up at close to our house had a long waiting list so I went to the next city over.. So far I can say that I am glad I did that. The league he is in went to state last year- not to mention Converse Bucaneers are all about football.. I am sure Ricky will learn alot about the game this season. Had to go pick up all his equipment this evening and what nice people they have running the league! My first impression was definitely a good one.

That's about it for this post!
