Albert called

Albert called today. He pretty much hates his job at the moment. He is working in the storeroom. Tomorrow (Sunday the 30th) will be his first day off since being there. He does his normal store room stuff then he also is water boy. I am not exactly certain what all that means. What I know is that he takes water all around the base to different places. He also said he has a bunch of airmen that this is their first deployment and they are whiny. They keep him really busy. I feel bad for him. He works so hard and people tend to take advantage of him because he does work so hard. This is going to be a very long deployment for him. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers. He is already a bit stressed and he hasn't even been there that long.

The kids are doing well so far. Little Albert still asks where his daddy is from time to time. One morning he got up out of bed and saw that the van was here. Well normally that means his Daddy is at home. He was absolutely positive that his Daddy was here hiding from him somewhere. (Daddy likes to play hide and seek with the kids) Anyway after a while he realized maybe mommy was telling the truth and Daddy wasn't here. After he realized he cried for a while. Poor little fellow that broke my heart. I can tell him and tell him that his Daddy isn't coming home for a really long time but he does not understand. A really long time to him is about an hour. Sarah is dealing with it well. She emails him and he emails her. She gets so excited that her Daddy emailed her. Her face lights all up and she is momentarily the happiest kid alive. The kids make Albert being away a little easier. They are just the best kids a mother could ask for.

UPDATE on the unknown flower. It is a spider lily. As it turns out I got an email advertisement from the place online I bought flowers from before telling they were on sale. God works in mysterious ways. Anyway my unknown pretty flowers from the previous owners are now known.
