Starting From Scratch
May 7, 2008|
I wrote before about how, during the last deployment, I made so many Pillsbury biscuits that I cooked a lonely ring into my small bar pan. And then I wrote a few months ago about how sad I felt when my husband broke the pan. I had planned to bake more biscuits on this next deployment, and now my pan was gone.
What I haven't yet written about was how HomefrontSix mailed me a brand new bar pan when she read that mine had broken. I started to cry when the box arrived on my doorstep; it was a reminder of how lucky I am to have this SpouseBUZZ community and how all of you will take care of me while my husband is gone.
My husband deployed last night. I'm ready to get started on another biscuit ring.
Sarah, you both will be in my prayers. Know when ever I look at my Pampered Chef I will think of you and it will be a reminder for me to pray for you!

You have all the best I can muster up. That was some pretty awesome SpouseBUZZ love. If you bake two biscuits, I'll bring some homemade jam :)
On another note...one day already under your belt.

I definately sympathize with you and I will be praying for you DH!

I can feel the ache in your post... we're now in the homestretch of our deployment but your post brings back the raw pain of the day he left. You are not alone!

Big hugs to you Sarah. You know you're not the only one eating alone. I'll set a place for you at my table - the pizza boy's coming soon and it's just me!

Our little branch of the SpouseBuzz crew will be thinking of you. Hope the little somethings you received this weekend will help keep you company.
I'll be thinking about you & the Mr. as we get this countdown clock rolling.

Hugs Sarah. I've teared up while reading your post. Both of you are in my thoughts and prayers.
If you get tired of making biscuits, you can always switch to muffins like Katherine Heigl did on Grey's Anatomy for a while. :)
