English Rugby and the USO

Hazel and I went to see the Leeds' Rhinos in a rugby match today. We saw them last year when they were here and enjoyed it. It was very cold outside for us so we did not last the entire match. However, there was USO booth on site taking donations. I went to the table to give a few dollars. All was fine but I teared up when I put my money in the jar. There are a lot of men at Rugby matches. Tons of them. Lots of men with kids and families as well. I missed my husband being with me and I missed my family being an entire unit. Hazel and I left early and went to Borders.

My little man is at at his friend's house having a long day and sleep over. He was really looking forward to it. He has been talking to me non stop lately about going to Lego land in California. I have even been looking up discount plane tickets to San Diego. I would love to make this little boy excited about a trip for HIM. He misses Lee a lot and withdraws at times. Overall he is well but I don't think he feels very "special" right now with all the focus on choosing Hazel's Middle School and working on Hazel's research papers and her soccer etc. He is so, so special to me. I am having trouble making sure I spend the one one one with him. It is easier when there are two adults.
