Rough week

I'm a bottler. That's just how I am. But I think I cried more this week than I have in a year. I'm not sure exactly why. Robert called me on Mother's Day for the first time since he arrived in theater, and I was SO glad to talk to him:) But a song on the radio later that day hit me. And then a Mash episode one day, and IM'ing with him trying to decide whether he should come home for 2 weeks of R&R this summer, or save that two weeks until he gets home. And I don't even know what caused the other episodes. I am a control freak, and I do NOT like being in control of my emotions. I know....it's not healthy to keep your feelings inside. But that's just how I am.

Last week Dan realized that the pipes in my tub were leaking, so my dear friend Wayne came and fixed that. Wednesday Mikala threw a sticky toy up and it stuck to the ceiling in our hallway, and she broke the light fixture trying to "unstick" it with a broom. And our hot water heater started leaking Friday and ruined the floor in our hallway. Wayne came and fixed the leak on Saturday. I spent an hour and a half talking to 7 people at our mortgage company Friday trying to straighten out our mortgage (they have a special program for military that lowers your interest rates on loans to 6%). It has caused them great confusion. I was told 5 different payment amounts and 2 different due dates depending on who I talked to. I received a letter saying that the new amount was in effect as of March 9th, but they said their system hasn't updated yet, and would reject that amount????? But that's a whole blog within itself. Okay, maybe the emotions this week were founded.
