There is a Season Turn Turn Turn

A time to Gain
David has come home. Yea! It was a wonderful weekend of actually having a husband. I surprised David not only at the airport but at his gate! It is a secret how I got there but he was surprised to see me and even more surprised when he figured out that to be at the gate these days you have to have a boarding pass. My secret.
Abbey did really well too. Me and David got home around midnight so Abbey was already asleep, but the next day she came out and has been sleeping in the bed with us. She still won't let David touch her but big whoop, she barely lets me touch her sometimes. So I think she will start to love David in a few weeks.

A time to Lose
David came home but ahhh the Navy, he has gone cranking which is a sore subject so I will try to be short. So these next couple of days we will see where he is going to be working, in the galley or the mess decks, what his hours will be 14 hour days with weekends or normal hours. Also we go back to being a one car family which kinda takes away at my mobility. I can take David to work when we know what his schedule will be like.
These schedule problems will also affect our Holiday plans or should I say lack there of. It won't feel like holidays without any kind of family. But at least we will have a tree, they are really cheap up here.

A time to be Angry or at least Squirt the Cat
Ok Abbey is being the biggest nerd. Good grief. So Abbey was scratching the chair so I bought a squirt bottle and it worked, she doesn't do it anymore. But her anxious energy has taken a new form- chewing. And chewing isn't that bad but that she chews on electrical cords. And because I love my kitty and I don't want her to be a charred piece of kitty toast, I am scared to squirt her while she is chewing on electrical cords. My goodness. Her favorite cord is by my bed. So all night I stay very aware of any chewing noises so I can shoo her away. Abbey knows what the squirty bottle looks like so I just shake it at her and she runs away. This bottle is a life saver, especially when David acts up, I squirt him too.

And a time for every purpose, under Heaven
Well so much is changing or has changed in my life these last few months. It almost seems like nothing is going to be the same anymore. Familiarity is so comfortable. Life seems more enjoyable and moves slower. But with all these changes, I wonder will I ever be able to dig my heels in and have normalcy again? HA! No, one because of the Navy which I have a little voodoo doll to take out my aggression. But seriously there are just things I am kinda sad about changing. I just though foolishly that things would stay the same. ugh. But like the song says there is a purpose for me and Leah both moving away, and holidays being different, the Navy taking control of our lives. Couldn't God just let us know his plan? Why the big secret? Something I will be asking when that day comes.

And so life turns turns turns...
