No Contact

It has been three days now. Three days with no contact. I expected this. I knew this was the way it was going to be but you see, I'm used to my kids telling me everything. Whether I want to hear it or not! Blaine especially! I think Blaine likes to try to shock me. I think he sits around trying to come up with things to tell me that will make my already graying hair turn completely white! Well, so far, so good as most of you know. Of course, I can't blame him for all of my gray hair, he has an older sister, but that's a whole other blog...

I keep waiting for him to call me with some outrageous story....but the phone isn't ringing. Heck, right now I'd be happy to hear him tell me that the food is lousy and the bed is hard as a rock....but the phone isn't ringing. Being someone who usually keeps my phone close at hand, I've turned into someone glued to their phone. And when I don't have it in my pocket, I have the ringer turned up loud enough to compete with a roaring jet engine!

I hope that it will be soon, if even for just 5 minutes. It's nice to receive a text saying "I love you mom." But hearing it straight from their mouths is priceless...

Have I told you how proud I am of my soldier?!
