Cranky Mom

4 weeks to boot camp graduation.  Reservations are made and we can't wait!  I know it's "all good," but Damn  I'm frustrated.  I'm happy that Recruit is growing up and pursuing his goals, I'm happy (if a bit guilty) that he's financially independent from us.  I'm happy that he's now really enjoying boot camp, and reveling in  his accomplishments.  I'm not happy about communicating by snail mail!  A phone call!  An e-mail!  A text message!  Please, that's all I want!  I know I'm never again going to be a big part of his everyday life, and I'm cool with that, but Geez!  I'd really like to hear his voice.   Whine, whine, whine, boo f-ing hoo!  Hmph!
