Training for the West...

This has been a crazy week. We started our training for taking calls from the west coast this past Tuesday. This is going to be a ridiculous fiasco on Monday! So much info crammed into days and it's so different from what we use/do now. Wish me luck!
I rented movies this week. Wednesday got the movie "Brothers" about this marine who gets deployed to Afghanistan. He has a wife and two little girls at home. His chopper goes down and he and one other guy get captured and are held for months. So at home they think he's dead. In the meantime, his brother has been released from prison. He starts hanging out with the wife and kids and starts appreciating the good things in life. You sense and attraction between them but they keep it at a distance. Well, the husband gets rescued and comes home and he's totally warped after his experiences. He thinks they are having an affair and flips out. It was a sad but believable story.
On Thursday, I finally watched Precious. That was a really sad story about a sexually and physically abused teen. She has 2 kids by her father, catches HIV from him, gets beaten by her mom, starts going to an alternative school to get her life together and get an education (only good part of her life) and her first child had down syndrome. Too much emotion for the week!
I am so glad it's Friday! I have kept to my plan for cooking each night. But I have baked apple pie, cherry pie, cookies... I am such a fatty bombalatty...
It's now Saturday and L has gone to Alley Cats with one of her friends. She was supposed to have a concert this morning at a nursing home but she left her violin at school. Fortunately, the concert was optional. I don't know about that child. Princess is still sleeping and the twins and Bruiser are very up and at 'em.
I got the pics they took at the daycare back yesterday. They were so cute! Pinky just didn't smile. We got a smirk out of her on one pic only.
I can say that I am glad that week of training is over. I am glad we got some time off the phone. But I am leery about Monday because I don't honestly feel prepared. I just hope my two days off are good ones. I am supposed to go out to eat with some of the other Seabee wives tonight. One last Hoo Rah I guess. Better get to work. Lot's of chores between now and then.
Love you, sweet hubby!
