So as I read April's photography blog a little while ago I started thinking about the many different avenues are available to Jacob and I so that we can stay in touch. Make no mistake, there is never enough contact and none of it can make up for his not being here, but this could be a whole lot worse. I came to the realization that I might need to find AA for technology addicts. I have two instant messengers, skype, a webcam that can be used with one of my other instant messengers as well as skype, facebook, email of course, and a cell phone. Now this may not sound too terrible since a lot of people have the same things, but it is my use of them that is a little crazy. If I am home the computer is on, I am signed onto everything, facebook included. I need help. I am pitiful and yet, completely unrepentant. I will stay addicted to this stuff until I get my sweetheart back home. Then, one of my loving family members or friends can try to make me see reason! lol! Anyway I just wanted to share what a modern day deployment will do to a person! Good grief! I just came to this realization a little while ago! It is a little humiliating.
As for Jacob I haven't heard from him today. I am sure he is fine. He did call me yesterday morning and tell me happy mother's day and talked to me for a few minutes. We cut it short so that he would have time to call and talk to his mom. It would be kind of rude not to! So mother's day was nice, but over now. Now I have to think about father's day and what to send a daddy who really has no use for the more common father's day presents and would prefer a 12 pack of Newcastle to all of those anyway, but can't have that since he is in Afghanistan. Any suggestions would be helpful. As always keep our soldiers in your prayers!
