A day in the life of an Army Wife

In 2.7 seconds my whole day went from amazing to horrible.
Alex just called and said that he cant come off base this weekend because a SGT found his cell and mp3 player underneath his pillow today. It sent him to red stat which means no leaving base at all, like not even for the day. I could go there to see him, if we had the money to pay for a can there and back, but we dont. Im so upset, im in tears right now. I know that this is nothing compared to whats to come in the future and I keep telling myself its not like I just found out his deployment has been extended or something but I cant help but be upset still. Today was going SO good and ofcourse OFCOURSE something has to happen to make it suck. Im trying to be stronger than this, I hate crying, I barely said two words when I was on the phone with him because I knew if I tried to talk I would burst out into tears and I didnt want him to know how upset I was. I dont think I would be this upset normally, but sunday is my birthday and I really am not looking forward to a birthday spent alone. Blah Blah Blah. Oh well at least next weekend is a 4 day weekend. This blows.
