Leaving

Corey is leaving on January 6th for 3 months. I'm not looking forward to it. He has his CH-BOLC (Chaplains Basic Officer Leadership Course) training to do. It's basically basic training for officers and you go to specific ones for whatever your job is. He was trying to get in to go in the summer but the summer slot was full. We were going to have my brother come live with me while he was gone and basically have him do most of the motel. Now that plan is thrown out the window. It's hard enough to be alone and have to take care of home and family by yourself, but I also have to manage the motel. We ran by lots of senarios, but it makes the most sense for me to just stay here. If I can just get some help watching the motel from 5-8 every night so I can do dinner and baths and bedtime, I think it'll be ok. The motel is slower in the winter and dinner and bedtime routine are really the hardest parts when you have to also watch the motel.
So if you live by me, your friendship is needed. I'm not good at asking for help because in all honesty you need help with everything when your by yourself. When somebody comes up and asks "Do you need anything?" Of course I need something. You always need help with something. You always need extra hands and someone to talk to and someone to hold your baby so you can get laundry done. Nora will be 11 months when he gets home. That's crazy. Thankfully there's things like Skype now so Nathan can still see his Dad. I know we'll get through this. I know everything will turn out fine. I know we'll become stronger people because of it. But, I'm still not looking forward to it.
