The Lesson I'll Never Learn is....

.... that they will not be home when they originally plan to be home.

.... that they will not be home when they originally plan to be home.

I have to throw away the "Welcome Home" cake (or eat it all myself).The banner won't be hung.All of those appointments that I postponed and rearranged so I could spend at least 24 hours with my husband -- and nobody else -- will now have to be re-rearranged. The dominos are falling....

As Sarah says, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. I know this, yet I continue to act as if I don't.

I think that maybe we should institute a Redeployment +10 rule. You know, when they call and say they'll be home on Tuesday, the 23rd, you just add ten days. Of course, if I did that, my husband would arrive on time and I'd be completely unprepared.

Sometimes, you just can't win!

Ugh!!!!
