As some of you may or may not know, the Air Show is in town...here at Travis AFB. Yesterday, I went and worked the Officer's Spouses booth for a little while, Paul worked most of the day and Cooper had a babysitter for a few hours. After I worked my shift, I went home, fed Cooper and we went up to base to see the Air Show. We met up with Paul and we tailgated at the top of the hill and watched the Thunderbirds do their tricks. It was quite relaxing and tons of fun. It was a bit loud at times, so Paul covered Cooper's little ears, but most of the time Cooper was fixated on the airplanes going around and around. Today, we took a family trip to Best Buy...thrilling! Paul was shopping while I was entertaining Cooper. What fun! LOL! As you can imagine, my patience was running thin. After that, Paul headed off to work the Air Show again. It kind of ticks me off...who schedules an Air Show and makes all the pilots work, on Labor Day weekend? And why are they making Paul work when he is fixing to deploy for almost 3mos. Ugh! I am ticked! I know we will be fine while Paul is gone, but it is always hard the week before he leaves. I know how much he is gonna miss out on while he is gone and how much we will miss him. I know he dreads it and he hates missing so much of Cooper growing up, especially when he is growing up so fast! I got a little teary-eyed thinking about it this morning...I am sure I will be a big ol' sap this entire week leading up to his deployment. Well, that's all I got...chow for now...
