OH! and our new Heat Pump is going in today... No more emergency heat!
A friend got the lawn tractor running(again) he said if it doesn't crank next time and is battery related then we will need to buy a new battery.
The truck is all inspected and tagged as law requires. it only took the installation of a new seat belt and a catalytic converter.
The Neon is acting up again- a 4th time since October... this time a church member is going to put a new Oil pump in for me.
The vacuum cleaner(only 3 months old) is on it's last legs. Someone remind me that I bought the 89.00 one because I had deiceded that the things were disposable what with BOYS using them. (Why do boys think that they can vacuum up dirty dished off the floor?)
The sewing machine died mid colonial gown. Had to buy a new one.
The wireless doorbell died... a miserable cow in a hail storm type mewling, groaning, moaning death. the boys think it is funny- Press the button and listen to it moan and groan at them. Not loud enough to tell us someone is at the door so I pulled the button down.
I am not doing so well with mechanical things recently. All that extra pay for being in a combat zone has gone to FIX STUFF that we haven't had break in our 20 years of marriage...

Yeah- but they usually don't go through customs unless their flight is a GO- and then it might be a handfull of hours but not over night or the like. He has been in Kuwait waiting for up to 2 days but that was waiting even on going through customs. He did not go to customs until the flight was ready to "go".
am I making sense?
Anyway. I am hoping and praying for the positive. He said he'd call from Ireland/germany the only reason he'd not call is if they landed and his connecting flight was leaving in such a time that he had to rush to make it. *sigh* I keep thinking that I will get a call like at 4am saying he is on the ground and to come and get him. Wishful thinking.
I can think of a bazillion things that could have happened but none is going to make it happen any faster is it?
I am so not going to be able to sleep tonight. Perhaps I should go take care of that laundry on his side of the bed.
Stress cleaning anyone?

MEALS. Surprise her with meals right after he husband leaves. Maybe even some extra freezer meals. I cannot tell you how much of a blessing that is. It's so hard right after they leave...and cooking is just the last thing you wanna do kwim? We ate a lot of takeout and cereal.  
Babysitting. If you are able and Josiah is willing, perhaps take the kids occasionally so she can have some time. Even time to go to the store, or run errands.
If Josiah is willing, perhaps help her with things around the house (repairs and such) of course, I realize Josiah is a busy, hard-working man...so that's just a 'hey if ya can' kind of idea.
Those are my best ideas, and things that mean/meant the most to me when Justin was gone.
Sandy

Maggie, my church's ladies group is assembling gift boxes to send to Iraq/Afghanistan this summer. They have a limited budget, so I can't guarantee they'll get to everyone, but if he has an address over there feel free to PM me and I'll pass it on. The ladies assure me they'll send to everyone they can, and I'm gonna ask Greg if we can make a special donation to the group for that purpose.

My brother served in Korea for 1 year. He seemed ok with it, except he was apart from his wife for most of that time.
