Just like starting over

Okay. I know. It has been months, MONTHS, since I have written. But going off to war is hard. I had to be focused, diligently working to achieve the goal I had worked months to prepare for.

You got me. I didn't go OFF to war. I remained at home, here, where life with three boys often resembles a war zone. Don't give me that look. These people are like insurgents. Unpredictable, obstinate. Almost impossible  to understand. Many a time I could have used an interpreter. They also like to lob things, and urinate outdoors.

I know life has been tough for you without this little ray of sunshine. I will do better. I have to! Our freedom and way of life depend on it!
