.... eating my breakfast of a Harvet Bar and a cup of coffee, pondering the secrets of the Universe. (Reading the funnies online) And it comes to me that I am going to be home relatively soon. How soon is hard to say as I've been bumped, dumped, resorted, and reprioritized a few times now. But that's not the point. The point is, that I am going to be going home to my beautiful little boy and wife sometime fairly soon.
Of course there are several tons of baggage that go along with that. I am very busy right now (well.... not this instant) with getting things ready for turnover. You know how it is, old guys leave, new guy come, new cusses the existence of the old guy because he forgot to pass some important secret of the job along. It's a tale as old as time itself.
In my case, there is project information to tunr over. There are last minute bills to pay, accounts to balance and get in order, and some last minute new project items to work out for the people who have to stay here. Oh, yeah, the funding justification for the buses too. How I love being the guardian of taxpayer money.
But I'll slog through this and press on as I always do. My ears will redden as the people who come to replce me curse my name and say what a worthless piece of jackal crap I am. But I don't think I will mind all that much. I am going home soon. Thay have a wonderful 6 months of Iraq to look forward too.

First, thanks for the link. I really appreciate it.
Secondly, you have a gorgeous family. I want to wrap that baby up and whisk him away. Well, at least until he poops. Then I'll bring him back.
Thirdly, I'm glad you're coming home to your loved ones. I lived in Kuwait for 4 years and there is NOTHING enjoyable about the middle east. I'd rather have a barium enema than go back. Return safely and congratulations on your impending homecoming!
Home? Did you say home? Yea! Daddy will be home soon. It seems like forever, but I know there are other spouses who deal with longer deployments so I am ok with this 7 month one. I love you and can't wait to reintroduce you to your beautiful son.
Can't wait to talk to Josh. I will have to come up to CA to see you.. I miss you so much. Anyways, I'm happy to hear that you are coming home soon. Love you and miss you..
