Deployment Day

Written February 25, 2008

Well, my dh left today. We took him to the pax terminal at 9:30 this morning and spent a couple of hours with him while he waited to board his plane. They all got a nice pep talk from the wing commander. We left him around 11:30 when he had to go. He will be gone at least 4 months. He's got about a 14 hour flight ahead of him today just for the first part of his trip. Fun. I hope we will be okay while he is gone. I'm used to having him gone 1-2 weeks at a time. 4 months will be a long time. I've already messed up my day today, too. I had a bunch of french fries and 3 cinnamon strusel snack cakes! GRR...after cheating last night, too. I NEED to get back on the wagon though. I don't want to go back up over 250. I want to get down to 200 by the time my dh gets home. I'm not sure if I can do it BUT it might be possible if I work really hard and stop going off plan.
