As if it wasn't enough...

As if it wasn't enough with everything else going on my little brother called me. He's 19 and he joined the Army Reserves back in May thinking that it would be good for him to get out of our hometown for awhile, not to mention they pay for your schooling. He loved basic training. He actually said he wished he could go back. I know sounds crazy. Anyways when he called me last night and I answered he got straight to the point " Kasey I leave February 1st" I was like oh yeah for what? He said that when he leaves in February they will do 30 days at Fort Leanardwood and 30 days in Wisconsin, then to Iraq. WTF? I guess it might be a little different if we had actually seen him at all since he's been home but he' s been too busy with all of his friends. I guess I shouldn't have told Scott yesterday that my week couldn't get much worse because there it is. My uncle Tom however is home from Iraq this weekend and I'm going to see him tonight. He drives jet fuel between the bases. Ugh this is too much this week.

Love the pic of you and your uncle! Hope you had a great weekend, mine has been spent sleeping. Haven't felt right all weekend. Wondering if they will still do chemo tomorrow if I'm feeling this rotten...

One more thing, Emily thinks you need a pic of your Mom on the site. Her idea.

I'm sorry about your bad week.. I can only imagine the feeling of you family member going off somewhere like that and for so long.

Also i'm not making any excuses but I know when I was 19 I lived for my friends.. That's it honey he's a 19 year old and acting like one... I hope everything gets better
