well, yesterday, james informed me that it is VERY POSSIBLE that he will be leaving for iraq for a year to 18 months.....what a SHOCK that was...don't get me wrong, i KNOW that because he is military, it is ALWAYS the possiblity that it can happen...i accept it but of COURSE i am not happy about it!!! ESPECIALLY with all that matthew is going thru right now....he found out yesterday that he and another person WILL be going right now...they are TRYING to get him out of it but he says he doesn't know if he will be able to or not...he is also afraid that if he DOES try to get out of it because of matthew, they will not re-enlist him because he is non deployable...sooo, chances are pretty good that he will be going....wow.....what to think?! that is all i have been thinking of! right now, it might be anytime from jan-march....still not sure...i wish it were somewhere FURTHER down the line..i know he has 13+ years left so he was BOUND to be deployed sometime but i sure wish it was when both boys were a BIT older!!!...
james asked me, WHAT WILL YOU DO? i told him plain and simple, WHAT CAN I DO BUT SURVIVE AND HANDLE IT!!!! true....true....i already have a "plan" should he not be in town and matthew goes into the hospital...alex will stay with me there at the hospital....he is SUCH a good little boy i know he will do well....i wouldn't like him to be away from me & matthew unless ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!! he will already be DEVESTATED because daddy is gone and for us to be gone....no WAY! that will be to much for him to handle...
wow...what a thought!! james not being here for a bit....that is SOOOOOOO SAD TO THINK ABOUT!! but we will handle it! this kinda put a bunch of things on hold...we decided that we would NOT sell the house right now because i already KNOW the neighbors and they are AWESOME so i can stay here and be near them....
anyway, just had to write it down because it MAY become reality soon...

Wow Maria...that is awful. I live in fear of that. Although right now audiologists ARE nondeployable, but they are changing that!!!
You are strong...you will survive!!

after following your blogs, which are too dismay that an unresolved emotional factor has not been resolved, the action plan that has been set for your husband is a call to duty.
Understand that your husbands actions to serve the US was his call, and you have to understand that this part of life is playing second to the US Military.
However, if you feel that this will disrupt your family and remove a part of life, which you have blogged so much about, have your husband state that he is a unconscientious objector to the war or removing the life of a human being. That may a no departure to the other side of the world, but with repercussions to removal of the military.
Good Luck,
