Are we travel-jinxed?

We are in Oklahoma visiting T-Man. I'd like to be jumping for joy, but instead, I am sitting in the hotel room with Bubba and his 102 fever. What is up with all the sickness this summer while we are traveling???? (see Disney post)

Trixie got sick just as we were leaving...poor thing was in the car for 10 1/2 hours that day while fighting a 102 degree fever too! Then she had to ride another 4 1/2 hours the next day still feeling under the weather.

Now Bubba has it.

We all got in our swimsuits and left the hotel to go to a really cool looking water park this morning. Stopped by Walmart across the street from our hotel so we could get some sunscreen and a few other things. By the time we left there, Bubba was in tears and hanging all over me. I'm such an idiot! At breakfast this morning he asked to sit on my lap. WTH? He's almost 10, and trust me, he never does that. I should've known then he was getting sick. Okay, well, I did, but I was in denial.

Now Princess & Trixie are down in the hotel pool with their daddy, while I sit up here with Bubba who is sleeping after his dose of ibuprofen.

This stinks. We only have today and tomorrow.

Looks like it's not gonna be much fun. :(

I Miss Him

Well, my new reality is here. Yippee.

T-Man is gone, and will not be home with us to "live" for the next 18 months. He may be home for a few days at the end of July, and maybe he'll get leave when he's in Afghanistan, but I doubt that would be any sooner than March or April next year.

I miss him so much already.

Bubba will be 11 1/2 (he's almost 10) and will be halfway through 6th grade. He just finished 4th. T-Man will miss 2 of his birthdays.

Princess will be 9 1/2 (she's almost 8) and will be halfway through 4th grade - the grade Bubba just finished. She just finished 2nd. T-Man will miss 2 of her birthdays.

Trixiebelle will just be having her 4th birthday. 4TH!!!!! She's just a 2 year old baby right now! He should be coming home right around her birthday...hopefully he will only miss one, not two.

Wah, wah, wah. I can't deal with it. It sucks.
