Forced to Chill

That is what these last 8 days have done to me. It has forced me to chill out and quit worrying about everything I am not accomplishing. When I am not surrounded by my own stuff and all my To-Do Lists and chores- I actually take the time to read and take a nap. I have accomplished both of those tasks very well. Sometimes I have so much to do that I am just paralyzed and I can't do anything at all. It doesn't make any sense but it happens to me all the time. Maybe there is medication that can help me!

But I am looking forward to getting home. I will be heading that way on Tuesday (hopefully early morning) so I better start packing tomorrow because Lord knows, I brought enough stuff with me. It is going to be a pain to unpack.

I am feeling pretty good about this Fort Hood deal. I am a believer in things happen for a reason and there is a good reason why we are headed to Texas. I know things will be interesting for Keith because he is going to command a unit that doesn't even come into existance until April 1st. So there won't be a Change of Command Ceremony that is such a big deal in the Army. Usually the spouse of the new commander throws a 'party' for the event and makes enough food for 100+ people and family and friends come in from far away places, etc. But we get to skip this step all together because Keith will be the first to command. Don't know if that is a good thing or not, I feel like we are missing something, a rite of passage.
