Today's the big day....TRAINING!

Kristie · 04-04-2007, 11:15 AM

Doug leaves for training today, starts tomorrow but he doesn't know at what time because his training schedule says they start at noon...he's hearing on the line that they're starting at 8am and then he's hearing from scheduling (cuz they called him) that he's starting at 8... so he doesn't know what quite to believe yet.. start at 8 or start at noon. I'm sure once he gets there, he'll get it figured out!

but believe it or not, i started actually getting nervous last night. Dunno why, i've taken care of myself for long periods of time before doug even came along. HAHA i should be able to do it now too! so, i think i'll be starting my new regime tonight to help me keep occupied and keep the word "alone" off my mind.

I guess this confirms it, i'm human... DANG!

Kristie,
Wow, that's great! I'm sorry you're feeling nervous - I totally get it though

I think your regimen is a great idea! How long will training be??

What? You are human? I thought you were just some bot that was part of the JetGirls forum!

J/K

I sent Aaron off to training Sunday and the hardest part was being in the airport with him. I probably would have done better if I had dropped him off at the curb! I was a crying fool, but as soon as he was through security, I was fine and I have been ever since. Hopefully it will be the same for you!

Try to frame it positively when you are feeling down- think what a great adventure this will lead to, how proud you are of Doug, how great it is that he isn't there stealing the covers or making a mess you have to clean up... And most of all stay busy! It's just been a long time since you've had to get though a long absence. But I bet you'll get right back into the swing of temporary singledom!

that's what i thought till i started having emotions - what the hell are those?!

hahahha sometimes, as a pilot wife, you tend to put your emotions on the backburner and every now and then, one you haven't seen for a while decides to take you for a ride - whodathunkit!

but seriously, i started getting all nervous and asking my inner robot where was i going?! haha

training will last about 6 weeks. he gets to come home this weekend but after that, he's gone all weekends only home about 1 day a week (if that). it'll be interesting, that's for sure....

you got that right Kim, we're gonna have a TON of fun when all this is over so i AM definitely looking forward to that and keeping that in mind as i try to talk myself out of working out (go fig!).

singledom, oh man... it's been a long time since i've been (quote on quote) singleish...makes me think i should go out every now and then and get a wine or check out the latest club, see what's happening on that singles scene without getting "into" it. might be kinda fun to do that with a few girlie girls.

Thanks for the encouragment & support!!

Sorry I'm not around Scottsdale anymore to hang out! I was 'single' a lot when I lived there though! The way I'm feeling out here I might come back!

Tambralyn · 04-04-2007, 05:14 PM

Best of luck to both of you!

I keep trying to think of wonderful words of wisdom, and I don't have any. But six weeks isn't nearly as long as it seems when you're just on the cusp of it. I bet he'll be heading home and you'll still have stuff on your play list that you didn't get around to.

good point! haha

yea, it's spring/summer clothes time and i do have that on my list, not this weekend, but next.

AND first day is down...i worked out for 50 minutes on the elliptical too. two weeks ago, i was only 15-30 minutes.. so far, so good...tomorrow, i'd like to hit hte pool but it depends if i get my swim cap in or not (not gonna have green hair pop in on me!!).

awwww... I've been in the "training mode" for about 3 weeks now.

Whenever I feel down, I remind myself it is only temporary and then if trying to think positive doesn't work, I leave where ever it is I'm having those bad thoughts.

I feel for you, and we all understand!
