61 days till he is home and I am a wreck!!! This is going to be my day by day account/diary of my count down till he comes home. Some days I look at it like....Its only a little while longer and some days its like OMG....its still 2 months away!!! Today is the former...lol. I just cannot wait till I can hold him and be close to him! I fantasize about what it will be like to see him for the first time after a year. I tell you...I sure do admire you ladies who have/are waiting longer! I dont know how you do it.

I'm so excited for you!!!

I'm so excited for you!!!

Thank you!!! Me too!! But I am also a raving lunatic! My mood swings are even getting on my last nerve. He better not EVER put me through this again. Good grief! Half the time I don't even know my name. The first 10 months I think I just lived with it..accepted it. But, now that the time is drawing near, I am realizing how much this all has hurt. I know I am going to be a big ol cry baby when he finally gets here....and he will let me:p

YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats :)

YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats :)



Thanks Cali!!!!

Well this morning is one of those mornings that I feel like 2 months is 2 years. I am trying to look at short term dates, Thanksgiving first..then Christmas, New years, Pauls birthday..January 11th which is 3 days before his release date :( . I want to make his homecoming really special...I guess I have all the plans to make for that too...right?

I am excited tonight because my little ticker is going to say 1mo 29days. I have been waiting to see that 1 in front for a long time and its finally here!!! YAY!!! It doesnt change till after 1am my time..but I might end up staying up juuuuuust to watch it change. I know all this is making me a bit manic and I am just trying to go with it...ride it out.

My ticker is under 2 months!!! I have been waiting to see that 1 in front!!!! YAY!!! I can go to sleep now. I stayed up late just so I could see the ticker...lol.

Good luck girl!! It is nerve-racking,isn't it. Just remember, he's not really going to care if the windows got washed or the silverware is polished...if you've taken a shower and combed your hair, that's all he needs!

Good luck girl!! It is nerve-racking,isn't it. Just remember, he's not really going to care if the windows got washed or the silverware is polished...if you've taken a shower and combed your hair, that's all he needs!

TY!!! I know you are right about the windows...lol. I am sort of just figuring it as extra activity for me during that last week to keep me from jumping out of my skin. Want to stay as busy as possible so the time will go by faster so I am planning these things to occupy my time.

good luck, its ok i would do the same thing about the ticker lol, we're not crazy just in love !!! im sooo excited for you!!!!!!
i ONLY have 7 more years and i will be going nuts tooooo,
and im with you he better NEVER EVER put me through this again !!!!!!!!!! or ima gonna kick his buttttttttt lol :)

TY!!! No...I think I AM a little bit crazy from all of this...much in love..but a little bit wacked out..lol!! 7 years. I admire you and all the ladies who are doing long bids with their men, WOW. You are SO strong. Yup...they better not do this again or its alllllllll over. I am to damn old for this stuff:D

TY!!!! I am sure trying..some days are better than others. It seems like these last days are dragging by:(. But at least I am in the double digits right??? We sure will..its going to be very special!!! Take care !!!

is his release date Jan 14? if it is our guys get out on the same day!!!!


Yes..it is!!! Oh goody..we can go crazy and count down together!!!!

Today went pretty fast actually...YAY!!! But I was talking to my grandma and at some point she says " Christmas is a long way off" and I am like "No its not!" and turned on my heels and went and sulked. Its little things like this that are getting to me. I know I am becoming somewhat unbearable to live with and I really do try to make an effort to not take it out on my family...but DAMNNNNNNN, its rough.

And still it drags..I swear each day is a little longer than the last. WTF. Any other time and my days just fly on by. I couldnt fall asleep till 4am this morning, just layed there, tossing and turning. I honestly feel this has been harder on me than him. Hell, even when I did time it was easier than this. This is just torture. I pray I never have to do this again. Nope, this is no fun at all:(

Girl, congratulations!! It will go by, just keep yourself really busy, and I am sure you will be, with Christmas coming and new years and planning for his homecomming.

I am really happy for you!!!!:thumbsup: and Christmas is not that far away, only 5 more weeks...YIKES!! It will be here before you know it.

Thanks lovespell!!! I know..its just a minute, but it feels like forever!!!!

I cant sleep to save my life. 59 days now to go and I have a feeling sleep deprived is going to be an understatement. I am even trying to not pay attention to what day it is..YA RIGHT!!!

How am I gonna make this?? I feel like time is just standing still. No matter how busy I am it just creeps on by. This sucks. I honestly feel this is the most difficult time in my life. I have been through some trials and tribulations...but this has got that all beat by a long shot. Almost one more day gone though....yipeeeeeeee.:cool:

Very happy for you

TY very much....it means alot to have all you ladies support ya know.


Very happy for you

So, have you slept yet?

What are we down to now??? :)

So, have you slept yet?

LOL...ya, I took some Tylenol PM and fell asleep at almost 5 am..got up at 10 am. Maybe I will be more tired tonight since I didnt sleep a full night:D. I am hopeful.

What are we down to now??? :)

55 and a wake up:thumbsup: I think the days till Thanksgiving at least are going to go by fast....lots of family stuff going on and planning. The longest haul here at the end is going to be from TG-Christmas and I am hoping that will fly by too!!!

Today has gone by fast!! YAY!!! I am thrilled....now if they could just all go by this fast I would be good to go:thumbsup:

Oh ya...here it is 3:40 AM.....can't sleep again. I laid there for about 2 hours tossing and turning, trying to blank my mind out. No luck. Its like as soon as I lay down and am not busy anymore...then my head really gets going. I think when Paul comes home after we.....(well you know:D ), I am probably going to sleep for a week. I never would have thought I would be missing him THIS MUCH....I mean ya, I love him like I have never loved any man...but I have always been pretty self sufficient emotionally. I am definitely gone on his sh*t. How strangely wonderful it is to feel this way actually. Sigh......

It is hard to countdown. I never thought the end of the year would come. I found it easier to countdown the holidays or for instance my husband gets out on a Thursday, so I would count down the Thursdays. So today instead of saying I have 18 more days, I can say I have 2 more Thursdays and that's a lot more bareable. I don't sleep either. I've been on shopping and cleaning sprees. I pace, I play solitaire. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I feel ya. :thumbsup:

i wish the best for u both. i too await the day that my husband and i give back this 20 yrs to life. it has been 7 yrs already and each day i say that tomorrow will be our realease date. REMEMBER that the struggle still continues although he will be home.

peace

OOOOOh Thats a good idea!!!!!!! I am going to go with the Thursdays thing. He gets out on a Saturday. Hmmmmm, I wonder do they release on weekends? Thank you Mrs. Evans!!!!!

20 years. Oh wow..now I feel bad complaining about waiting this little bit of time. My heart goes out to you both and I admire you're strength..you are a hell of a woman. Thank you for the kind words and support.

Ahhhh yes, here I am again. I was asleep and woke up and here I am. I counted and I have 8 Thursdays left. Ok....not bad. I think I can do this. Do I have a choice....if I did I know I would be snuggled up with my baby instead of sitting here typing my woes. I am going to read this thread when this is over and let him read it when he is home. Geez I miss him. I am a fool in love with this man. G'night Christina...lol. Yall probably thinking I am straight crazy huh.....could be.:rolleyes:

I actually fell asleep ok and made it to 2:30 am. Now I am awake though and cannot go back to sleep. I am so mad at him for not writing me for 3 weeks. I wonder how much longer it will be until I hear from him. This hurts. I think I am more hurt than anything though. Its probably nothing....at least thats what I keep TRYING to tell myself. It doesnt change the fact that I miss him like crazy.

Still no mail today. I am really upset that he is doing this. I never would have thought that he was capable of this kind of BS....we have known each other so long and I just never saw this coming. Something has got to be wrong here. I guess all I CAN do is wait. I am resigned to that little fact...I think. Acceptance??? :cool:

I'm sorry to hear that you are going thru this.:( There has to be a good reason though. Even though it doesn't feel good, :blah: prison teaches us patience. He will tell you the reason. My husband did this to me and his justification was because he is excited about coming home. I too thought it was because of an issue that occured, but it wasn't. Stay strong, it's almost over.:thumbsup:

TY. It doesnt feel good..it feels yucky. And heck ya...it teaches us patience..which is not one of my finer traits..lol. You're husband really did this too huh? That makes me feel alot better. Not happy that you have been down this road also, but just the thought that its maybe normal...makes me feel better. Thank you!!!!

52 and a wake up. I hope. :o Not such a great day....still no mail. I am hanging in there. It seems like I miss him just a little more each day. I am trying to think what this must be like for him...beng gone for nearly a year and being so close to coming home. I have been there myself, but everyone handles it differently. I wish he would talk to me and tell me everything is all ok. Maybe its not though...maybe this is really hard for him and he is struggling to make it through everyday just like I am.

52 days, you're almost to the 40's. :thumbsup: Everything will be fine. He'll write you and tell you why and this will soon become water under the bridge. Congratulations on his homecoming!!! :)

You were right...I finally got a letter today!! He tells me he has written 2 others and that I must not have received them yet...I havent... so they are MIA. Now I feel like a big goof for thinking all the crazy things. I am so relieved to hear from him and the letter was soooooo sweet. Damn I love this man. Like I have never loved another. I am going to marry him. I feel it in my bones. Thanks Mrs. Evans for all you're support...I think that you are the one person who has gotten me through this no mail thing...you're words played the loudest in my head..even over my neg thoughts. Thank you!!!!

Good for You Congratulations

Congratulations and God Bless:)

Thank you megirl176!!!!!


Congratulations and God Bless:)

Well all in all, it has been a great day. I finally received a letter from Paul and it was the best letter ever. Kinda fitting it being Thanksgiving and all...cause boy am I thankful my baby wrote me and my baby loves his girl!!! He is so special to me. Ok......its the end of one more day..one more day closer to my being in his arms and THAT is a wonderful thing.

Cant sleep. I cant remember when was the last time I was able just to drift off peacefully to sleep. I am resigned to the fact that I wont know that type of sleep until he is home with me. I wait for the night I will be able to fall asleep in his arms again.

I am so sad that Paul is without his family for Thanksgiving. He is a family man and I know this must be a very difficult day for him. I hope he feels me hugging him.

I am sorry that you are stressing sweetie...but you have to remember...this is the LAST holiday season that Paul will be without his family. I am sure he is thinking about you just as much as you are missing him. Keep your head up sweetie!! He will be home SOOO soon! Best wishes to the both of you:) Hugs:p
-Jackie

Thanks....you're support means so much!! Hope you are having a good holiday.

I think I am really starting to realize how close we are to the end of this nightmare....as much as I bitch and moan about how "I cant wait" and how hard this is....it is in reality almost over. Being that this is Thanksgiving, I am so thankful that this is almost over. One more day almost gone......

49 days and a wake up. 12 days since I started this thread and ya....it seems like it was just yesterday.....looking forward it looks sooooooo far away....BUT ITS NOT. Its an illusion....time plays tricks on me. I wish old father time would just hurry up already...:( I am aging here....lol.

And here I am again....it doesnt matter how early I get up or how busy I am all day....when it comes time to fall asleep, I get nothin!! I am seriously considering getting some sleep meds from my doctor...I just cant do this everynight...OR CAN I...lol. I am going to give it another shot here.:thumbsup:

I'm happy to hear that you rcvd a letter from him. :) It's almost over!!! I bet he misses you and his family but this is the last time he has to miss Thanksgiving. 49 days huh? :cool: Wow!!! :D Time is flying. When we look ahead it doesn't seem like we will get there fast enough but when we look back, we can see that time has gone by pretty fast. Just keep counting down by days of the week or holidays, or something that makes the numbers smaller. :D He'll be with you before ya know it. :) :thumbsup:

Thanks tandg!!! You know..when I was laying here trying to fall asleep last night (the craziest things running through my head) I came upon the greatest revelation.....lol. I have ONLY one more "monthly" to go!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL, :haha: You know what? I didn't want to say it. But that's how me and my husband counted down. LOL. :haha: I was embarassed and thought people would think I was crazy if i said it. :) I wrote him a letter earlier this month and told him we were through. :thumbsup: It works. Believe me. LOL. :haha: Do whatever works for you. :D

Thats CLASSIC!! Don't know why I had'nt thought of it before!!!! I am going to write Paul tonight and tell him!! He will get a kick out of it.:D And 1 left DEFINITELY works for me. :p And I dont think you're one bit crazy for counting those..nope, not one bit!!!!

The end of another day...I hope!!! Please GOD let me get a decent nights sleep tonight. 49 and a wake up!!!

I am an insomniac. I never have been an insomniac before and frankly..I really could not understand how a person could have trouble falling asleep. Well now I know. I have even tried the counting sheep thing and I am here to inform anyone reading this that it does not work. I miss my baby damn it. BOO HOO!!!!! Poor me. Ok, I am done.

I'm so sorry that you are not getting any sleep. You know, when he comes home your going to sleep like a baby. Just a little longer. Try something relaxing right before. Like a bath and a book. Hope this helps. :)

You know...I hadnt even thought of that...I bet a bath WOULD work. Thank you!!!!

VITAMINS VITAMINS VITAMINS... I want you to take extra special care of yourself so that you will be in great shape for your happy homecoming. I cannot stress this enough! You'll make it through these days and he will come home to you and everything will be fantastic.

I finally broke. I havent cried...(ok, I have shed some tears) but tonight in the shower.....I cried my eyes out for real and you know what??? I feel much better. :D Maybe it was all the pent up frustration??? I dont exactly know...but I do know I feel like a weight has been lifted. Oh and I LOVE all these Christmas commercials....the more the better!!! Means I am getting closer!!

God bless you both! I'm excited for you! I find myself feeling the same way! Some days I'm like wow he will be home in less than four months. Then I have my bad days when it seems like eternity and a day before he will be free. I have waited for almost 8 years. I can wait a few more months! I wish you the best! Take care and make sure to try and get some rest! I'm sure he will love to just be home with you!!!!:grouphug:

You have waited 8 years!!!??? I admire you sooooooo much. I really cannot say that I could have done 8 years of this. Thank you so much for you're support. I am trying....I suck at this. I hope we never have to do this again. I am so happy for you being almost done with this damn thing yourself...8 years....OMG!!

48 days and a wake up. I hope I get some sleep too. I am really dragging here. Well....if I dont get to sleep....I will be here posting. Lets hope there are no further posts tonight, lol.



No problem, I just hope you get some sleep. :) So what are we at now? :fb: :yay: :dance:

I hope you're sleeping. :) As you can see, I'm not. LOL. Well you're into the 40's now. You are getting closer. :cool: Time is going by. Even though it's not fast enough for us. :blah: It is going by. :) Thanks for counting down with me. :cool: Congratulations and let's keep counting down. :thumbsup: :D

I fell asleep actually pretty fast...now staying asllep, that was a whole different ballgame. I woke up at about 3:30 am and layed there for a while trying to go back to sleep. Popped in a movie thinking I might drift off and as you can see that was a complete failure. I am laying there thinking 48 more nights of this....lol. And this is one of those clear and really cold nights...the kind that you're bones are frozen, which REALLY makes me miss Paul...he is a heater that man. SOOOOOON Christina.:o I love counting down with you...I am so excited for you. And the closer you get the closer I get. Boy we are a pair. I hope you finally made it to sleep. I am going to give it another shot.



I hope you're sleeping. :) As you can see, I'm not. LOL. Well you're into the 40's now. You are getting closer. :cool: Time is going by.

48 days and counting, congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Meantime wrap yourself in extra blankets til the "heaterman" gets home to warm you up, lol!!!

Thanks ontheroadagain......ya, I got my electric blanket...for now. LOL.



48 days and counting, congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Meantime wrap yourself in extra blankets til the "heaterman" gets home to warm you up, lol!!!

We're getting into the mid 40's now. Congratulations!!! :thumbsup:

Yup....just about one more week and I will be in the 30's!! I am now wondering how this whole parole thing works. I have NO clue. I wish Paul and I got phone calls so I could ask him these things better than going through letters. Its frustrating!!!


We're getting into the mid 40's now. Congratulations!!! :thumbsup:

I just wanted to see my little ticker change days...lol. 47 and a wake up.:o

This no sleeping thing is wack. I am going to be a raving lunatic in 47 days.....I tried the bath...I took my vitamins and my mind is still racing. I dont drink caffine, or do drugs and I dont drink...so whats the deal??? What is wrong with me?? I swear when he gets home...we are sleeping (ya right!! ) for a week.

I slept FITFULLY. I woke up with the sheet around my neck and the bed tore up. Wonder what I was dreaming about??? Crazy.

Congratulations!!! :) You're getting there. :D Let's pray this time away. I hope you get some better sleep and more sleep. I know, not having phone calls sucks. :blah:

Ya but you only have 9 MORE DAYS!!!!!!! 9 MORE DAYS!!!! I am still stuck on that. Whew........this is crazy! Who cares if we sleep.....you only have 9 MORE DAYS!!!!! I will have 38 days in 9 MORE DAYS...in the 30's....which will mean the 20's will be only about a week away. This short term goal thing is really working for me, lol. And you know what???? YOU ONLY HAVE 9 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!



Congratulations!!! :) You're getting there. :D Let's pray this time away. I hope you get some better sleep and more sleep. I know, not having phone calls sucks. :blah:

LOL, yeah I do have only 9 more days. :eek: But the closer I get, the closer you get. Let's keep counting. :D :thumbsup: :)

Oh hell ya.....I am a countdown fool right now!! I am also excited for the day I get to change my ticker to say 30 days.



LOL, yeah I do have only 9 more days. :eek: But the closer I get, the closer you get. Let's keep counting. :D :thumbsup: :)

Ughhhhh...I wish November was gone already!! I have had enough of November. Time to move on to December.....come on December!!! Lets do this Christmas thing and get it over with!!! I know I am being a grinch about it, and I truly hope everyone has a wonderful holiday. For me its just one more day without him though. Usually it comes so darn fast, its like wham....Christmas!!!! I hope it goes as fast this year.

Just came to see my ticker change...lol. 46 and a wake up.

46 more days. Yeah, I understand about November being gone. Tomorrow is the last day of it. Then December. And December is the last month you'll have to be without him. :) In my experience, once you get to the 30's, it's all down hill from there....Until you get to the last week. Then you start going crazy again. It's only Tuesday!!! This sucks. come on December!!! LOL. :D Congratulations, you're into the mid 40's now. You started this thread in the 60's. Let's keep counting. :thumbsup:

I KNOW you are wanting December to come on in real bad too huh!!! Oh good!! I hope that last month goes reallllll fast!! I can do that last week.....bring it!! LOL. I know...I was thinking that last night...It seems like just yesterday I started this thread at 61 and now I am at 46...it did go kinda fast..looking back. This is just to much for my little heart to handle sometimes.....feels like its gong to explode! I never ever want to do this again.

OMG...I am so confused about this 115 thing!! Its driving me crazy. Paul got a 115 back at NKSP about 2 months ago now and he said he cant file the 602 on it until the end of Dec...and they have 30 days to restore the credits so I am wondering if he is going to even get out on 1/14/06 or if its going to stay 2/28/06 because of the 115. GOD I HOPE NOT!!!

Well I have decided that either way....I am leaving my little ticker just like it is. if I get to 1/14 and have to add time.....well I will but for now, its just easier on my brain to THINK its 1/14....wont look as far off if I have to change it at that point anyways...right?? Right. I swear...this is the biggest test....testing all kinds of things.

:mad: I'm so sorry about this whole 115 situation. Pray real hard!!! But I thought it was if he didn't have any reaccurances within 30 days that they would restore the time? So in that case since it happend 60 days ago, they should restore it and he should get out on time. 45 more days. You're into the mid 40's now. :) Tomorrow is the start of December. :thumbsup: We're getting there.:D

Thanks tandg. I am just trying to stay positive here. Anything can happen. I have been told it was 30, 60 and 90 days. I dont know anymore and can we ever be certain of anything with the CDC(R?)...LOL. I am on this ride no matter what is going to happen. I am just hoping for the best. Who knows.....for all I know, he could be out on his original date 12/15 and surprise me...stranger things have happened. Like I said...I am leaving my little ticker right like it is and if it is longer by the time it runs down, I will add it then...if I have to. As you can tell...I have resigned myself that I am at the mercy of the whole damn thing.

Well its December.....finally. I thought it was never going to get here. Surely the time will fly by till Christmas. I have done some figuring and as far as I can estimate..with his 602 credit restoration and his work credits...I may be seeing him in January anyway. I dont know...its just a gut feeling I have that its going to be sooner than I think, I dont know why....I cant explain it..just womens intuition I guess. Or maybe I am deluding myself..either way, it works for me...lol.

Yay!!! :yay: :yay: :yay: It's December. :D :fb: :dance: :fb: 44 more days. Whooo hooo!!! :clap: :bow: :clap: Everything will turn out just fine. We're almost there. :cool: Let's keep counting. :thumbsup:

I thought it would never get here!!!! I know it will turn out fine....I have a gut feeling and they are always right!!! Ima counting!!!


Yay!!! :yay: :yay: :yay: It's December. :D :fb: :dance: :fb: 44 more days. Whooo hooo!!! :clap: :bow: :clap: Everything will turn out just fine. We're almost there. :cool: Let's keep counting. :thumbsup:

I never thought December would get here either. :) Soon we both will be saying that January got here fast. :D Just think, this is the last year that you have to spend the holidays without him :cool: (excluding New Year's) But yeah, everything will be just fine. 44 more days to go. Whooo hooo!!! :thumbsup:

Its here!!! I am so damn glad....its going to fly by!!! From now until New Years at least!!!! I feel that everything will be fine too. And I have re-read his letters and it is right. The date is right w/his restoration of credit it should be 1/14.....so its good!!!

I was reading my baby's letters and I wanted to share this one because it is one that has got me through this the very most. On my worst days I read this and it makes it at least bearable......


Hello Beautiful,

Sometimes two people find that no matter how close they are and how much they love each other, lifes road takes them in different directions, at least for a while. I miss you so much, there are days when I would give anything to look into your eyes and feel the warmth of your smile, days when it seems like this separation will last forever. But I know it wont because the connection between us is to strong. When that day comes and we are together again, I know that it will be as if all this time and distance between us never existed. Until then, you are in my thoughts and in my heart with every day that goes by,

I love you

That is very beautiful. :cool: :) It made me all teary eyed. :D Congratulations once again. It will all be over soon. :thumbsup:

43 more days. :eek: :D Much closer to the 30's. :cool: :) Let's keep counting. Just a little longer and it's all over. :thumbsup: As you can see, no sleep for me as usual. I also wanted to see my clicker change. Congratulations Crstnamre.:thumbsup: :D

Huh?? I am close to the 30's!!! Gotta hold on just a little bit more!!! Ya....sleep is evading me also...I get a little here and there, but its never for very long. I KNOW you understand well. I know....I just have to see my ticker change.....it makes me SMILE!!!! The poem is beautiful...I dont know if he wrote it and I dont care, the meaning in his heart was all the same right??? Makes me all warm and fuzzy. TY for counting down with me!!!!

I don't know Crstnamre. I mean, one minute I'm like OMG!!! 5 more DAYS!!! and the next I'm like Ok, 5 more days and he'll be here. I think it's just all the anticipation. Yesterday I couldn't sit down and today all I want to do is sit down. I have a million more things to do but I'm just like Wow!!! Ya know? I mean it has been 2 years. Let's see what tomorrow brings. The only thing I'm sure it won't bring is....SLEEP. :D LOL!!! I can't wait to see your ticker change. :) The 30's will be here so soon. :cool: 6 Thursdays sounds pretty good. :D Congratulations!!! :thumbsup:

I know...I am the same way. One minute I am smiling because we are almost there and the next I am crying because it still seems so far away. It definitely is the anticipation!!! Its almost over for us and thats what we have to focus on...easier said than done...yes??? 2 years!!! Oh wow, I have only been waiting a year and I dont even want to think about what 2 would be like...oh damn!!! Ya....six Thursdays left. :o I look at my calendar and just wish it was here already!!!! Like if I close my eyes tight and open them again it will all be over.....I WISH!!! I am going to try and get some sleep here, usually its only a couple hours though...so I will probably see you later tonight, lol!!!

NOT SLEEPING.:mad:

I know gurlllllll, I stayed up alllll night thinking about when my ticker was going to be saying 30 days..lol!!!! I tried the closing my eyes thing, and it dint work:(. I am going to just keep a counting. And I just think...."wow", the amazing sleep I will finally get once we have "settled" in.:D

Yeah, I bet the sleep will be wonderful. :) Till then let's try and stay busy and keep counting. (Since closing our eyes didn't work :( ) LOL!!! :D

Oh I just got the MOST wonderful letter!!!! Paul says that he put in the 958 (restoration of credits) in Dec 1st!!!! This means it could be any day now!!! He will be taking the train back from Fresno and then the Blue Line into Long Beach. It could be any day now!!!! I have so much to do!!! I want to be ready, cause my baby LOVES surprises!! I told ya, I had this gut feeling it was going to be sooner. I just have a feeling it could be before Christmas. I am not counting on it...but I am not counting it out either. That closing my eyes thing just might work!!!



Yeah, I bet the sleep will be wonderful. :) Till then let's try and stay busy and keep counting. (Since closing our eyes didn't work :( ) LOL!!! :D

Crstnamre, that's the best news!!! :D Congratulations!!! :) May GOD bless you. I'll say a prayer for you. Can you close your eyes for me that my husband is good to me when he comes home? :) LOL! :D Congratulations!!! :thumbsup: :D :thumbsup:

Is'nt it???!!!! TY!!! Yes....I am closing my eyes and saying a prayer for you both...that he will be good to you and never leave you again. I am so excited!!! I am cleaning and prepping and oooooooo I am so happy!!! I know it may not be for a while still....but it also could be any day!!!

I came to see my ticker change...but it hasnt changed yet:(. I found out tonight that a 958..which is what Paul filed on the 1st, is to ask for extra time off for good behavior!! EXTRA TIME OFF!! I am sooooooo praying hard right now!! Well....I guess I will try for some sleep and see my ticker later.

But of course.....sleep avails me. I just wanted to come see my ticker change.:p

Another week gone. :cool: 41 more days. :eek: Next week you go into the 30's. :D (Hopefully he comes home to you this month :) ) Congratulations!!! :thumbsup:

Thank you babygirl350!!! Yes.....he will be coming home soon. I am hoping even sooner than what the ticker says, we will just have to wait and see. But I am getting so anxious to see him again. I have not seen him in about a year now.



This is just wonderful. I am very happy for you both. Yippee another one coming home. Happiness to you both always. All of my best to the two of you.

A few more hours and you're at 38 days. :eek: :cool: :D Congratulations!!! :thumbsup: :)

The end of day 39. Creeping up...getting closer. I actually feel like this is getting somewhere now. For a while there it seemed as if I was stuck...half way to almost there. I miss him so much. I have never felt like this for anyone. I knew I loved Paul before...but all this has made me really understand how much this man means to me and that I cannot/ do not ever want to live my life without him. He is my best friend.

Just wanted to see my ticker change. I actually slept for 2 hours straight!!! WOW!! I am going to try for 3 straight tomorrow.

38 more days. :eek: :cool: Whooo hooo!!! :D This prison experience is one that makes us realize many things. I'm glad that in your case it was positive. :) Only the strong survive throughout this type of ordeal. You are coming out in love and together. :cool: That is wonderful. :D I wish you the best. :) You are almost there. Congratulations!!! :thumbsup:

Is'nt that the truth....I sure have realized alot...like I am never going to bug him about snoring EVER again, lol!!! I would love to hear him snoring like a bear right now, it would probably help me sleep. So close, but yet so far.

The weird things we miss or would now ignore huh? :D

Its soooooo true. As you can see....sleep has failed me, again too...lol.



The weird things we miss or would now ignore huh? :D

Yeah no sleep, no sitting. Just being anxious and excited. That's what we're going through and what we will continue to go through until we get our men back in our arms. :) Next week your ticker will say 30 days. :eek: Wow!!! :) Time is going by. :cool: Congratulations and thanks for all your support!!! :thumbsup:

I have had 2 hours sleep in the last 24 hours....maybe because of this I will actually get a few hours tonight....Lawd I hope so because boy was I grouchy today..lol. I was even grouchy to myself, now thats bad!!!! I am just going with it though...I know its going to be this way until he is home. Yup..on the 14th I can change my ticker to say 30 days. I still feel he is going to be home before the 1/14 date though.

It's very possible that he can come home before that date. :) Just pray!!! :D Don't worry, prison is hard on all of us. We all have our days and times. ;) In a few hours, you'll be at 37 days. :eek: :D Congratulations!!! :thumbsup:

I am on my knees everynight. Yes, it is hard on all of us isnt it. But you know??? I honestly feel that when I did my time way back when....it was'nt nearly, not even close to as hard as this is on me. Maybe it is because I was younger and more resilient..I dont know. Oh ya....37 come on down, lol!!!!



It's very possible that he can come home before that date. :) Just pray!!! :D Don't worry, prison is hard on all of us. We all have our days and times. ;) In a few hours, you'll be at 37 days. :eek: :D Congratulations!!! :thumbsup:

I probably won't be on tomorrow, so here's to 37 more days (or less). Whooo hooo!!! :thumbsup:

I managed to sleep for about 4 hours straight...that was after 24 hours NO sleep. One more day gone and one more day closer to my baby walking through my door. 6 more days and I can change my ticker to say 30 days!!!!!

So much for the sleep thing. I am not a coffee drinker...but I have decided to give it try and see if I can get really caffined out and then crash hard and maybe get some sleep. I dont know if its going to work....but its worth a shot. I am worried about Paul...if he is keeping warm enough. Its been dipping into the 20's where he is at. His mom sent him thermols a few weeks back...but of course I still worry about my baby.

I found out to day that they were flipping Pauls yard TODAY to an SNY yard. This means they will be moving Paul...somewhere. Damn, I wish they were'nt doing this so close to the end of his time. It makes me nervous.

I just wanted to see my ticker change. I am stressing on Paul...where the hell did they move him to?? I can't even send my baby a damn letter until he writes me and lets me know where they have put him.

I called the prison today and they have'nt moved him....yet and I really hope they don't actually. I hope he is able to stay where he is at until his release date. I miss him so much...I feel like I am really losing it here. Its not much longer now. I keep telling myself that I have managed to hang on this long, whats a little longer....but it is getting harder and harder emotionally each day. Sooooooon right????

I managed to sleep from midnight till 3:30 am...wooooooo hooooooo!!! Its a new record since this sleeping thing has become an issue. I have been having these crazy dreams though....very random and wacky. I miss Paul so much...I think I am going to die....J/K!!! Only 3 more days and I can change my ticker to 30 days!!! I am so excited!!! I am still holding on to the possibility that he will be home before 1/14. I don't know how healthy that is for me emotionally...but oh well.

One more day closer to his arms. What a beautiful thought. I am so filled with anticipation and excitement. This is the most anxious I have ever been in my whole life. Its probably somewhat comparable to the way I felt as a little girl waiting for Christmas morning..but on a much bigger scale. And...I dont know exactly when this Christmas morning is going to happen..that makes me 100xs more on edge. On edge in a weird, stressful, happy sort of way. Ahhhhhh one more day gone.

I just wanted to see my ticker change...3 more days, Wednesday and its gonna say 30 days!!!!!:D

I just realized....it just hit me that we are down to 32 days and a wake up, at the latest and all of a sudden I feel sick to my stomach!!! Whats up with that??? I KNOW its not that I am nervous about our relationship...maybe its just that after all these months of waiting it just is now hitting me that we are so close?? I am sure I will figure it out. So close but yet so far. Oh Lord.....please let it be that he comes home sooner than my ticker says so I can stop stressing out. I feel like I want to explode into a thousand and one pieces 24/7!!!

Awwww honey :grouphug: To be perfectly honest I'd be more worried if you weren't having all these emotions. Just hang in there you'll get where you need to be, believe that!!!

Hugggz,
Patty

Thats true....is'nt it?? I never thought of it like that. I am just so excited that this is almost over. I have never been very patient and this is like the ultimate test....I mean what choice do I have?? I love him with all my heart and my only choice is that I be a lady in waiting. Thank you for the support and THANK YOU for changing my title to say 33 days...it looks much, much better!!!



Awwww honey :grouphug: To be perfectly honest I'd be more worried if you weren't having all these emotions. Just hang in there you'll get where you need to be, believe that!!!

Oh definitely....we are in the same boat...all of us who are getting close to the day we can hold our guys and they can hold us!!! I am trying to hang in there, the closer it gets the more I miss him and the harder the waiting becomes it seems. Yup, you are only 5 days behind me...so we can count this down together.:thumbsup: And my ticker says 1month 1 day now!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!

I am so happy...tonight my ticker is going to say 1 month!!!!! My day is going ok, I actually got several hours sleep. My stomach is in knots..but thats ok. 1 month.....yes!!!!

I got a letter from Paul today and they had his release date messed up:eek: . They had it as March something. Its Jan 14th with the restoration of credit. The counselor almost had sent back his 958 saying he put it in to early...but its all straightened out now. Whew....I am soooooooo glad he caught that!!!!! So he is supposed to go to committee within 3 weeks from the 5th of Dec. He hasnt had anymore 115's so he will get the time back. Looks like for sure my ticker is correct. My God am I glad he caught that!!!!!!

My ticker says 1 month!!! (giggling:p)

MY TICKER SAYS 30 DAYS!!!!!!!!!! I just want to stare at it for a while..I can't believe it really says 30 days!!!!

You go girl!!!! He will be home before you know it!!!! I wish you the very best, just try to get a little rest before he gets here because I am sure you will need it...lol...

Thank you!!!!! I know....I will be in the 20's tomorrow. I am working on the sleep thing, its just so hard to fall asleep when all I am thinking about is him coming home finally!!! I am trying though, thanks!!!!


You go girl!!!! He will be home before you know it!!!! I wish you the very best, just try to get a little rest before he gets here because I am sure you will need it...lol...

I got the cutest Christmas card from Paul today and in it he says "I will see you very, very soon!" Now....what does this mean??? I just don't know. I don't want to read to much into it....but then again, maybe he is saying he will be home sooner than I think??? Geez I love him!!!!!! I am focusing on the set date and if its sooner well.....YAY!!!

I am in the 20's!!!! My ticker says 29 DAYS!! I can't believe it!!! Woooooooooooo Hoooooooooo!!!!

Don't go wearing yourself out now!!!!! You are going to need that energy!!!!!!




Christine,
And another has passed...........read my last post in Reddawg's thread...I am exhausted!! and running around like a nut!! Have a good one!!

Thank heaven!! Another weekend gone!! They seem so dang long!!!! Next weekend wont be so bad because its Christmas and it should go by quickly. I only have 3 weekends left and a wake up on Saturday the 14th!!! I get goosebumps just thinking about it!!! I feel like a little kid waiting for their birthday, or better yet, like a kid waiting on Santa Claus!!!! My Santa's name is Paul. It says 25 days.....amazing!!! Sunday I will have 19 days!!!!

Hey Christina! :wave: Just checkin' in with you again! Girl when you said we'd have 19 days by Sunday I nearly fell out of my chair!! :haha: I cannot believe it! How are your homecoming preparations coming along?? What are you planning on doing after you pick him up??!

I know its hard to wrap my mind around it too. I play with the dates all the time girl!! Like on the last day of this month (which IS only 12 days away) we will have 13 days and a wake up!!! Or how about this....as of Christmas...we will only have 2 weekends left and a Saturday wake-up!!! The mind is an amazing thing....mine won't shut up!!!! LOL. I am saving most of my big cleaning for that last week so I stay really busy...but I have been shopping, candles, a little something special to wear. The thing is, I am not picking him up, he is taking the train from Fresno, and the train from L.A.. Thats the way he wants it, I think he wants a minute to breathe...clear his head for a minute. He is a really deep man, so I am not questioning it. We have been together for a while before he went in so I am not even worried about it, thats just Paul. BUT...he is coming right here from the train and actually, it works out pretty well because then I can have my candles and the "little thing" on when he gets here. I am so excited. Oh my gosh, I am rambling!! We are so close JamesWifey!!! Its for real, after all this waiting its really almost over for us!!!


Hey Christina! :wave: Just checkin' in with you again! Girl when you said we'd have 19 days by Sunday I nearly fell out of my chair!! :haha: I cannot believe it! How are your homecoming preparations coming along?? What are you planning on doing after you pick him up??!

Ohhhh La La!! :p Christina, Paul is going to love this! Your homecoming plans sound wonderful. I know what you mean about the cleaning. I like the idea you have about saving it for the last weekend so we keep our anxious behinds occupied right?! OK I'm going to borrow your idea about the candles! That is such a wonderful idea and one I never even thought of. Thanks! I cannot wait for James to call me! Girl, he doesn't even know that his release day is on th 13th. Boy is he going to freak. You know I'll be back many more times checking in with you over the next month. Keep em' coming!!!!!! :thumbsup:

Oh ya....I got some pumkin spice candles...they are yummy!!!! Yes..I left all my heavy cleaning for that last week so I will be extra busy because I am going to be fit to be tied and also I want to do my best to wear myself out so at the end of the day I might actually fall asleep. I am also leaving a string of Christmas lights up...make it a little festive and set the moooooood. Sigh......I love him so!!!! He doesnt even know he is getting released on the 13th!!! They don't tell them these things...lol!!! The yard Paul is on, all the phones are down, for maybe 3 weeks he wrote in his last letter. Thats ok, I am used to the no ph calls, we have only had one the whole time he has been locked up and I was just able to fix it so I could get calls. Of course now their phs are down. Oh well...I wont need a ph soon anyway. Arent you just feeling like a schoolgirl?? I swear I feel like squealing right now!!! :p



Ohhhh La La!! :p Christina, Paul is going to love this! Your homecoming plans sound wonderful. I know what you mean about the cleaning. I like the idea you have about saving it for the last weekend so we keep our anxious behinds occupied right?! OK I'm going to borrow your idea about the candles! That is such a wonderful idea and one I never even thought of. Thanks! I cannot wait for James to call me! Girl, he doesn't even know that his release day is on th 13th. Boy is he going to freak. You know I'll be back many more times checking in with you over the next month. Keep em' coming!!!!!! :thumbsup:

Christine,
Just make sure you don't save TOO much cleaning to the last minute like I have......I am going crazy!! Somehow along the way I began keeping house like a frat boy!! LOL and now I have to back peddle!!! Well it is not THAT bad but it is much different than if he had been living here with me all along!!! One more day gone dear!!

LOL!! Ya...me too, and I relized that it was way out of control a couple weeks back and have started to chip away at the disaster little by little. I have got down to the surfaces of furniture now and am just waiting to do the final cleaning and vacuuming behind, under....all that good stuff. And my windows...oh wow, because I smoke and have been smoking even more lately. Ok, I am off to bed. I wake up at 3:30-4am so I am worked!!!

It is great to know that you relate to all this....sometimes I feel so alone, I can't really talk to my family about all of this, they only can take so much...like 2 minutes, lol!!!!! Only 10 more days for you!! Single digits tomorrow!!! (Actually midnight:D ) Thanks for being here going through this with me!! Thank you for the support and friendship!! We are going to make this...its almost over!! I just have to keep telling myself that because I don't believe its true...IT IS ALMOST OVER!!!!!!!

I got a call from MCI high toll dept and the woman said they were blocking my line until I paid.....it was slightly immature but I told the woman I really don't give a damn.......she then said "well you do realize you won't be able to recieve any more correctional facility calls?" and I told her"He gets out in 4 days so I think I can live without your crappy service until then!!!" I know she was just doing her job but in my eyes she was representing one of the biggest evils I have had to deal with since he went to prison!!!! IT FELT GOOD!!!!!! Well Christine these days are flying by for me!! I hope you too!!

Good for you!! I bet that did feel good!!! 4 more days at midnight!!! I will have 19 to go...this is sooooooo killing me. I hate waiting. But.....the homecoming will be worth it. OH BOY!!!!!! I am smiling ear to ear just thinking about it!!!!!!

I agree, this place is a godsend!! I can't really talk to my family about this either. But you are right, we ARE gonna make it. Girl you are almost to the "teens"!! I'm jumpin up and down for you and me both!! I tell myself everyday too that its almost over, but like u I still don't think I believe it. lol I will believe it in 9 days tho. AND when Paul reads your thread he will think "Wow, I have an amazing woman who loves me since she went through all this and still stuck by me!!" ...or something along those lines. lol
Take care girl!! Wooo Hoooo!!!! :thumbsup:

I really cannot imagine how I would have made it through this all without all of you!!! Sunday will be 19!!! I can't believe you are in the single digits!!! OMG!!!! You are sooooo close!!!! I think he will think that too!!! I had the most awful night sleeping last night. I kept waking up all night, and well....at least I did make it till 8:30 because usually I have been waking up at 3:30, 4 am....which makes for a very long day and we dont need these days to be any longer huh??? I am so H.A.P.P.Y for us!!!!!!!

I looked for a big red bow to put on for Pauls home coming and I could'nt find any big enough, or that I really liked....lol. I don't think its going to matter what I have on..its all coming off rather quickly I imagine:D. Today is really dargging by, it feels like it should be 4 -5 pm already and its only a little after 2pm:mad:. Hurry up hours...just roll on by!!!!

Hey girl another one down!!!.....you know what I forgot? It is going to be that time of the month for me!!!! Damn..oh well nothing I can do....I am getting so so excited!! IThanks for being here!!

Yup....another day almost hist-or-y!!! Ya, I read that in the other thread...I was dreading that myself and have been keeping track. But ya know, if it were me....it wouldnt matter anyways:D, it would still be ON!!!! Go with it girl....I am sure he wont be minding none. I am beside myself..between excitement and anxiety....every emotion in between!!! What a ride!!!! And my mood changes from minute to minute...its insane!!!



Hey girl another one down!!!.....you know what I forgot? It is going to be that time of the month for me!!!! Damn..oh well nothing I can do....I am getting so so excited!! IThanks for being here!!

Today has seemed extra long!!! And I have officially decided that I hate the calendar. I spent about an hour altogether staring at the damn thing and ya know what?? It still says the same thing.:cool: I went and bought hair color today cause my roots are showing BADLY. Nothing to drastic, just a color pick me up...I have'nt been getting too much sun lately so its kinda drab. My gosh I am glad this day is almost over. I hope tomorrow is a better, seemingly faster moving day!!! God I miss Paul!!!! :(

:wave: Hey sweetie! I lovvvee the idea of the big red bow! That is too cute :) Well I just wanted to say we are less than one hour from 22 days!!! Pretty soon we'll be in the teens, then single digits, then we lose our minds, then we enjoy our men for eternity!!!!!!! :haha: I am enjoying every minute of this countdown and it's so nice to have someone so sweet, interesting, and fun to count down with :yes:

Get those roots spruced up Christine!!! I didn't do mine but all that shows with me is gray coming through the black!! I have too much for being 34!!! As for the sun, I really can't sympathize considering it was about 20 degrees here today!!! LOL I lost about 23 pounds now and I hope he notices and is excited!!! He knows I have been working on it but doesn't know the exact amount!!!! But like Linda said, roots, weight, sun, potatoe sack or period....nothing will matter!!! LOL I am sure you will look like the bell of the ball in his eyes!!! Tomorrow will be my last day home and everything for the most part is taken care of!! Maybe I can get some sleep tonight!! Take care!

Hi Mari!!! If I could just find one big enough..I mean I am not huge, but the bows I have been finding...well he wouldnt even notice the bow lets say..lol!! I am west coast, so I have 3 and a half hours to go, but HOPEFULLY I will be asleep when 22 rolls around. Sunday.....19!!!! And by next Saturday we will only have 13 days!!!! I cannot say that I am enjoying every minute of the counting down really, it has its moments though and I am glad we are at this end of the wait...whew!!!! Awwww you are too kind, I don't know about the sweet so much, but the interesting I will go with....J/K!!! No seriously, you are a sweetheart too and I am so glad that we have each other to count down to such a special, unforgettable day!!!!

Ooooooo its cold there!!!!! I feel for you!!! I am just back to the weight I was when he got locked up. He doesnt like me too thin although I would be happier with losing 20 more. You are right, they are just going to be happy to see us no matter what we look like!!! So tomorrow is the last night alone in you're house....sigh......I am so happy for you!!!! You too, take care!! One more day crossed off!!!

This is how I feel already today....:) :( :) :( :) :( :D :( :) :) :( :( :D :) :) :) :( :D :D :( :eek: ....LOL!!!! Help??????

I liked that Christine!! I have been feeling that way for about 2 weeks now!! Deep breaths!! Funny that you thought of this being my last night alone at home!! I said that to myself before I fell asleep last night "Only one more night in this big scary house all alone"!! Spooning with a boxer named Lucy wasn't all that bad though!! LOL See today is almost over!! That wasn't so bad now was it? Hang in there!!

Its like a ride I cant get off!!!!! At least not yet. I have been having to remind myself to breathe, I catch myself holding my breath!!! Well it was you're last night home alone, that must be a wonderful feeling!!!!! I am looking forward to feeling that myself. Congrats mucho mucho!!! I LMAO when you talked about spooning with a boxer named Lucy!!!! I have my Cassius Clay (KaKa for short) he is my kitty, my baby and he has helped me get through this whole ordeal....my wittle lover kitty!!! He misses Paul too, when I have Pauls letters out, he lays on them and rolls around on them and then passes out on them, lol. Yup 1pm already here..today is going faster than yesterday, thank heaven. I am so excited for you!!! This nightmare is just about over for both of you!!!!

Wow just 22 days left! I know what you mean about reminding yourself to breath cause I am going though that too! Just keep yourself busy and the time will go by faster!

Tonight is my last night!! I said about one month ago in one of my posts that I felt like a kid standing in line for a new roller coaster. You don't know what the heck to expect!! Lucy was depressed when Danny left..she lost weight and slept in the chair in front of the door looking for him!! I even had to spell his name if I was talking to someone!! It was crazy!! I love the name of your kitty!! Pets work wonders in times like these!! Breathe!!

I know I wont be sleeping AT all when I get as close as you are. Awwwww she got depressed. Sounds like she is going to be a happy girl too!!!! Ya, he was named that because he is a little balls out boxer kitty!!! He has always been my baby, he was a dumpster baby. I just got a really wonderful letter from Paul. He is getting very excited. Up until just this letter, he really wasnt talking to much about the "when he comes home". This letter was all about how much he just wants to hold me and misses me. And how short we are getting. I can tell he is feeling it now. I miss him so much. I cried all over the letter. Come on Christmas...hurry up and be done!!!

Tomorrow brings 20 days a wake up! Can you friggin' believe that?! Would you mind if I ate that candycane on your counter? Or how about we just move it to 5 days LOL! I am so glad to hear you received such a lovely letter from Paul! Doesn't it just make ya all mushy inside? I received a great one from James yesterday too! Girl, I think we are going on strike once the postage stamp goes up to .35 cents! That'll just be ONE WEEK without mail! By then we'll really be out of our minds anyway! :haha:

Danny just let himself get excited about Monday!! So what Paul is doing is normal......imagine the emotions he is going through!! They have to be scared to death to!! So he is taking a train home to you? That is quite romantic!! Like the old movies!!! LOL

I know...it is good to see that he is getting excited. I know that this is hard for him too though. He is a real sensitive person, very caring and thoughtful so I know he is feeling this deep. Ya, it is kinda like the old movies isnt it....I am so excited. I think I will sleep better than I have been tonight, I always do on the days I get letters from him. He is very romantic.

I was laying there last night thinking the same thing...3 weeks!!!!! Tomorrow.....2 weeks 6 days!!! You KNOW I am always shuffling the numbers in my head, lol. The "Now that he's home forum!!!!"

Lets just skip Christmas this year, next year will be much nicer, lets just wait till then for it. My whole family is going to my sisters in laws and I was invited, but I am not going. Everyone tells me to go and have a good time....but, its not going to happen. I am staying home. I don't even mind not going. Not one bit.

No...I cannot believe it!! I am in a state of shock....24/7 now. LMAO!!! Yes, eat the candycane....get rid of the darn thing, thats one way to do it!! Ahhhhh, if only the imagination could rule the world. I never even thought of that, the postage does go up in January huh?? I have to mail Pauls birthday card I am thinking around the 2nd or 3rd so he gets it by the 11th. Kinda sucks he will be released 3 days after his bday....geez, they could at least kick him 3 days early!!!:D Riiiiiiight!!!!! I love it when he tells me all the sweet things, he is so romantic!!!!

Today went by rather quickly. My mom and I hit the after Christmas sales. I am tired too...at least I think I am. I cannot believe tomorrow is going to be 17 days!!! I keep on thinking about our phone call yesterday....remembering his voice, hearing the love in it. He is the love of my life.

Aww it is getting so close for you....Your heart has to be pounding harder everyday that passes. I will be counting down with ya. So happy for you.

I just looked at your counter and couldn't figure out why I'm showing 17 days and you're showing 18 :slap: Duh! I'm 3 hours ahead of Christina LOL. How were the Christmas sales today sweetie? Tomorrow is 16 and a wake up ahhhhhhhhhhh HUGS!!! :yay:

Thank you so much for the support!!! It means alot to me!!! Ya, not sleeping here...again, even though I am dead tired. Minds racing, hearts racing....its crazy!!!


Aww it is getting so close for you....Your heart has to be pounding harder everyday that passes. I will be counting down with ya. So happy for you.

LOL....I did that one night too...saw yours one day ahead and then noticed that you were in FL!!! The Christmas sales were wild!! The malls were a mad house, too many lights, bells and whistles for me..I ended up coming home and shopping online!!! 16 and a wake up here we come!!!!!! Now if I could just get some sleep......sigh

You're soooo close,
Patty

Today has been a hard day...its so frustrating to me to be this close, almost there.....but not quite. I am happy we are almost done, but geez I wish it was'nt so agonizing.

Hey sweetie! If anyone can relate to the frustration, it's me :wave: Just remember that everyday that passes, we're one day closer to our loves! By the end of next week, this will be us :faint: :faint: :blush: I think we're also in the same boat regarding the sleeping problems. Have you asked Paul whether he's going to be able to sleep Thursday night? James said there is NO way! I think we'll be up on PTO all night ourselves :D

Cheers to 16 days and a wakeup :beer:

I know you are going through the same frustration as I am...I am trying to focus on that the days are going by....its just so slow. I have never been very good at waiting gracefully...lol. Getting to sleep is just torture....my mind will not shut up.....I know you know what I am talking about. No I havent asked Paul that...but I seriously doubt he will be able to sleep either. He is supposed to be calling me one more time before he comes home so I will be sure and ask him though. I cannot even predict the state I will be in on that last night....I bet you are right and I will be right here!!!!! This is just crazy....madness. Thank you so much for all the great, wonderful, awesome support....I don't know what I would do w/o you!!!!!



Hey sweetie! If anyone can relate to the frustration, it's me :wave: Just remember that everyday that passes, we're one day closer to our loves! By the end of next week, this will be us :faint: :faint: :blush: I think we're also in the same boat regarding the sleeping problems. Have you asked Paul whether he's going to be able to sleep Thursday night? James said there is NO way! I think we'll be up on PTO all night ourselves :D

Cheers to 16 days and a wakeup :beer:

:haha: Sweetie it's only 11:00 where you are, so not too bad if you get to bed now! It's 2:00 am here, and my behind is still sitting up! We only have 4 days till 2006. I think once we hit January, the next 13 days shall really fly by! Have a goodnight and remember this will all soon be a distant memory :) Soon we'll be chatting in the "Now That He's Home" Forum.

Oh but I only thought I was going to go to sleep!!! That was a joke...lol. My ticker has not changed yet, darn it!!! The days I swear keep getting longer and longer.....thank heaven its not summertime!!! I am going to stick around to see my ticker change and then give sleep another shot. I know, I am anxious to get to the 31st so I can put my new calendar up!!! It will look so good!!! I am hanging in there though...how do you stay so calm???

My husband is testing out of his class thursday. His teacher grades his test. I know that he will pass. It takes up to two weeks to get credit for it, then he will be home 45 days after that .About the third week of febuary. Im so happy, but there is so much to do before then. The time will go a little faster if i keep busy. I will be picking him up with hotel reservations far away from that hell hole he as been in.

Congratulations!!! That is great!!!!!!! Wont be long now:thumbsup:

I don't know what else to do...I am so tired and I can't get to sleep. I am at the end of my rope here. The more I cannot sleep the longer the days are and I don't want that for heavens sake!!! I had no idea it was going to be this hard toward the end...I never once considered I would be so full of anticipation that I would not sleep. I have always done my best sleeping when I was stressed anyway.....lol. Well at least my ticker changed right at midnight tonight:) and one more day behind us!!!!!

Heyy There! How are youuuu doing?? :) I was just reading that you overslept the other morning! Girl, now remember all the oversleeping is a good thing. Why?? It helps pass the time of course :D

I am so anxious to be on here tonight after midnight to watch our tickers change to 13 days! What are your plans for New Year's Eve Christina?? I know once that ball drops you and I will be daydreaming somewhere about our honeys walking through those gates and into our arms again!

I just want you to know.... it's really almost over!!!! Finish your cleaning now!! :p Love ya!

I just wish it was at night I was sleeping.....but then again, any hours passed slept away are welcome!!! I know....I can't wait either to see us go under 2 weeks!!!! My son is having a LAN party this weekend so we have 12 computers set up in my living room and a ton of kids here....all 17-20yrs old. I like that they will be here rather than out somewhere at a party on New Years Eve. I will be here....celebrating the coming of 2006 and Pauls coming home of course!!!! "Almost over" words I love to hear!!!! I have'nt really even started cleaning yet...saving all that for the last week so I don't completely lose my mind. And after this weekend...we only have one weekend left to go!!!!!!

I didnt change the date at the ticker factory website....I am the 14th of January, so I am the day I am and a wake up...does that make sense?? so you are a day ahead of me, the 13th. i am not changing my ticker now...psychologically, I just cant handle losing a day....visually. Wow.....my mind works crazy!!!!! Happy New Year to you too!!!!! We will only have one weekend left tomorrow!!!!!!!

OMG!!! 10 days and a wake up!!! I am literally sick to my stomach. I mean it is in knots. I am so worried that they are going to decide to keep him or something stupid like that. On a positive note...10 more days!! Thats it!!!!!!

I know that feeling exactly....even when I saw my baby walking out of the gates on Friday I kept waiting for them to grab him and drag him back in. Apparently so did he because after we latched onto each other for a few minutes and jumped into the car he said "Get us outta here fast before they change their minds" it was funny cuz thats exactly what Iwas thinking. But girl it WILL happen and in only 10 more days your baby will be home too. I'm so happy for you!!! It's almost over for you!! ::Hugs::

Single digits:hifive:!!!! I am just floored by all this Mari. Luckily the last few days I have been very busy. My son had a LAN party at our house since last Thursday and the house was filled with young adults. New Years...well, I got very drunk and sick and that passed some time. I don't hardly drink but a beer every six months so that was very out of character. But, like I said...it certainly did pass some time, I swear I am still recovering, lol. It feels so good....to be down to the wire finally!!! Just think....in a matter of DAYS....we will be holding our guys and well, everything we have been missing, we won't be missing anymore!!!! I just can't wait to wrap my arms around him and feel him next to me!!!!! I KNOW you are feeling the same things. This is just wild!!!!! SINGLE DIGITS MARI!!! We are hours away!!!! Well.... you are a half hour away??

Girl I hear ya about changing the ticker, I woudn't do it either, you have 6 days a wake up and prep, and a wake up and pick up! LOL

Ya...I realized it at like 19 days and at that point I was like.."oh hell" no I cannot add a day!!! I like that..... a prep and a wake up, thats exactly what its going to be too!!! The cool thing is (and at first I did'nt think so) is that he is taking the train and a taxi home....so I can be here and have candles lit and be alllll sexy for him the minute he walks in the door!!! Ooooooooo I am getting so excited!!!!!



Girl I hear ya about changing the ticker, I woudn't do it either, you have 6 days a wake up and prep, and a wake up and pick up! LOL

I always seen myself doing that for him but I have to pick him up and he wants the kids there and I have no problem with that ( kids are going to bed early lol)! So I told him I wanted to cook something really nice for all of us and he told me NO! He wants to fire up the pit as soon as he gets home and cook us some steaks and the kids some burgers, he is so sweet he said he wants to take care of me when he gets home and told me to get ready to be pampered! I can't wait!!!!!

7 more days...so what are you going to do on your last WEEKEND ALONE my dear....Girl I am so excited for you that he is coming home next week. You deserve a lifetime of happiness and blesssings....much love to you girl...

The weekend.....I am not really sure yet, I want to get to cleaning.....but then again, I want to save most of the heavy stuff till next week so I am extra busy. Probably just revel in the fact that this is the last weekend w/o him!!!! Thank you for the blessings and love....you are awesome!!!!! I tell you...I would'nt have made it through this nearly as well as I have w/o all the support from ALL the ladies and men here!!!!!!

I am just wanting to see my ticker change....REALLY bad!!! Next week on Friday night, it will be the night before Paul comes home!!! OMG!! I am freaking out!!! WAIT! Actually its Saturday already, this is the last Saturday I am going to be without my baby.:yay:

Stupid ticker has'nt changed!!

Christina, you have me laughing so hard this morning about your ticker changing and watching it. Girl you are a mess.....

You are officially in your LAST WEEKEND ALONE WOOOOO HOOOOOOO.....
6 MORE DAYS AND YOUR HONEY'S HOME

Sweetie how is your weekend so far? I hope you are staying super busy. Remember, don't leave all your cleaning for the last minute. Girl, I still have to clean my entire bathroom (tub, toliet, sinks, clean out the cabinets) :eek: Plus I have to clear out my closets to make more room for him.

You are lucky Paul is coming home on Saturday because Friday is the 13th and it's a scarey day :rolleyes: Just kidding, it's going to be wonderful either way. Do you have the ingredients for his birthday cake yet? I think you'll be a pretty busy lady next week, and me too!

6 DAYS TILL PAUL'S IN CHRISTINA'S ARMS :yay:

I did'nt get to sleep till about 4am so I slept in till 12:30!!!! I decided to take my drapes down today and wash them amd do the windows. I smoke and have smoked even heavier lately and with Paul not having smoked inside I don't want him having to smell it. I have the place opened up and am not going to smoke in here anymore. I hope that will be good enough. He smoked before he went in and I don't know if he is going to start again, I hope not. I have even been thinking about quitting myself. Gosh...this time next week he will be on his way home!!!!! Does'nt sound like you have too much left to do Mari!!! I had'nt even thought of that...Friday is the 13 th!! Don't worry its just another day and James will be walking out those gates Friday the 13th or not!!!! Ya...I have everyhting for the cake except the icing and I am going to the store tomorrow for that. Just need to get my hair and nails done....I can't believe this is for real Mari!!!! This is it....NO MORE weeks to count, no more weekends until they come home...this is it. I have a lump in my throat and butterflies in my tummy.

6 DAYS TILL PAUL'S IN CHRISTINA'S ARMS :yay:

Its hard for me to grasp that I started this thread almost 2 months ago. Its even harder for me to wrap my mind around that at this time next week Paul will be here with me. Now we are down to 5 days and a wake up. I hope that today, Sunday goes as quickly as yesterday did....then we are home free. I am so emotional right now I go from being really happy, bubbly and smiling to crying out of frustration of being soooooo close to having him home, but not quite there YET. Time to try and go to bed and get this Sunday thing underway and over so that I can get to 4 days and a wake up. YES!!!!!!!!

Aww girl, I can only imagine the emotions you are going through right now. I know I have plenty of time to do all that I need to do but I also know after watching you and Mari's threads that the time will sneak up on you. It is funny that you talk about the smoking in the house. That is what I have to do to the bedroom before he comes home. Herb doesn't smoke but he does dip.

OMG girl.....you are down to the wire....*sends brown paper bag to Christina*
Love you
Jeanne

It's just around the corner now, ain't ya glad you took your vitamins? YOU DID TAKE YOUR VITAMINS, RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT? Humor an old gal if ya have to. I am so very very happy for you. I can feel your excitement and recall my own at this very moment. Thanks I needed that actually. He's comin' feel it? I KNOW YOU DO!!!

Patty

It sure does sneak up on you!!! Its like one day its 2 mos away and the next...you are, well...here. I got the drapes washed yesterday and that has made a big difference, I have had it tested by non smokers, lol. Ok...I have heard you ladies doing the "brown paper bags" joke....but I don't know what you mean.....I WANT to know bad, lol!!!!!!! This is the last Sunday w/o Paul!! Whoa!

Mari!!! This weekend went fast!! I could'nt be happier with how fast it went. This week I am going to finish my cleaning. Tomorrow I am getting my hair done and then I think Thursday I will do my nails (don't want to do them before I finish the cleaning!!) My son and his GF are going to spend at least one night here at home watching movies with me, probably Wednesday night....hump day, so I will be occupied. Its a good reason to get them to stay home for once too, lol!!!! I have'nt talked to Paul since Christmas Day and no letters since before that. But I expect a call from him this week. I wrote him what I said was my last letter last week. But even on Christmas he sounded sooooo excited!!! Paul works and is taking 3 classes so he said the time goes by fast for him!! he said he is so tired by 10pm he passes out. I hope the time goes by for James and you fast.....sleeping through it is awesome, wish I could do it myself!!!!!!! I can't believe tomorrow is Monday already! YAY!!! 3 Days and a wake up for you and 4 and a wake up for me....sounds pretty darn good:D

blondie6285, JamesWifey, waiting again....I love you ladies!!! I do not know what I would do without your support and you cheering us on. I have to tell you....today went from bad to worse though. Paul had his mom 3 way call and I told him to hang up and call me back so that we could have the whole 15 mins and he never called back! It WAS 9:30pm when we hung up so I am thinking that there were others in line for the phone or they shut them off??? Thats just not like him. And then I just layed here and cried like a big baby for an hour after that. I did'nt even tell him "I love you" because I thought he was calling right back. Why does this have to happen right now...so close to having him home? Why can't it just go smoothly..like the last thing I need right now is more stress. I will be so glad when this is all over. Of course I will post here immediately after I call his counselor at 1pm tomorrow, I just pray the man is available! If I cannot get a hold of him, I will be talking to SOMEBODY about the restoration thing, a supervisor, administration....somebody is going to hear me and help me tomorrow. I LOVE YOU LADIES!!!!!!!!

I am so scared that they are not going to have this done in time for Paul to be released on the 14th! The Bastards!!! But then again, my gut tells me that its going to be ok. Another lady on here that had gone through the same thing re: credit restoration and the processing of it, she told me that her and her man didnt know until the night before he was going to be released. I would just love to have a little peace of mind right now.:(

Hang in there Crstnamre, we are all with you on this thing.....!!!! it WILL HAPPEn....!!!! Have faith, it seems like everything cme crashing down in the last few days before release, it seemed like it for us too.......We are praying for you and we love you, too....!!!

Hang in there sweetie and keep on them. When you call today if the counselor isn't in then you demand to speak to the CCII. You keep calling until you get a hold of someone TODAY!!!! My prayers are with you & Paul that everything turns out okay! :grouphug:

Christina, I am so sorry you are having to deal with this... It is 12:15 here so 10:15 your time... I have already started sending my prayers up for you and Pual and will continue until I see a response from you... Girl, THIS IS GONNA WORK OUT FINE!!! GOD IS GONNA HERE OUR PRAYERS AND HE WILL BE HOME THIS SATURDAY!!! THAT MEANS 3 DAYS AND A WAKE UP!!! DO NOT ACCEPT ANYTHING ELSE! THE DEVIL IS A LIE!!! LOVE YA GIRL...:grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug:

Hang in there Christine...I feel good things...I know I haven't been on but I am thinking of you and Paul daily!! Last time Danny was released they cleared all his time up in ONE day and I had NO prepartation just had to get him the next day....so if he is due to get out they will get him out....I am holding my breath for the two of you...stay strong!! It is almost over!!

CHRISTINA!! girl I'm RIGHT with these ladies. I have faith that Paul will be here on Friday. I'm praying for yall. stay up and hopeful! its 12:30 your time so..we should be hearing from you soon. HUGSS! :grouphug:

I am getting ready to call right now. I already called records just to make sure they still didnt have the thing processed and they dont. Thanks Lisa....I am going to get this straightened out today!!!!!!:thumbsup:

CHRISTINA!! girl I'm RIGHT with these ladies. I have faith that Paul will be here on Friday. I'm praying for yall. stay up and hopeful! its 12:30 your time so..we should be hearing from you soon. HUGSS! :grouphug:

Christina, I have been checking for you since I posted earlier... Girl, I am trying to hang around work to find out what you find out... Prayers are coming your way NOW. Love ya, girl!!! :)

Ok....I have just had my world turned upside down. I spoke to the records analyst and she told me that his release date is Feb 4th! For some reason they did not restore all his time. She did not know why as all she has is the numbers not the resons for them. So when Paul calls tonight I have to tell him this and he needs to speak to his counselor first thing tomorrow and find out why they only restored a partial amount of time. It could be some mistake.....so for as the time being, I am taking my ticker down:(. I am going to go regroup....the 4th would be another 28 days!!! Oh crap.

Oh no! Hopefully you guys can get it all straightened out, both of you will be in my prayers!

:( :mad: :confused: :argh: :cry: :banghead: :yuck: :nono: :shake: :slap: :nospeak: :broken: :angry: Girl, I am heart broken for you! Try to stay as calm as possible and talk to him tonight. (Thank God you are not in Texas because here they can only make one 5 min call every 90 days) At least you can talk to him and let him know what you found out... Is there anyone you can call to get the details? If not then his couselor should be able to help him get to the bottom of things... You both are in my prayers. Thank God they got some of it posted. Hey maybe they just are not finished... Keep your head up girl!!! I am praying that things are ALL still gonna work out and he will be home this Saturday as you planned...

Hey, don't take that as the final word it is only Tuesday, anything can happen before Saturday!! Keep the faith and keep that ticker going.... :grouphug: :grouphug: Kat

They only get 5mins every 90 days!!!! That is harsh! I have only had 4 ph calls since Paul has been locked up, thank heaven we have those straightened out because we sure do need them now. Ok, here is the run down of what I was able to find out...



I called and talked to his counselor first who told me "he had done his part and was not responsible for anything further" (at that point I was thinking a few choice names for him:blah:) . I then asked who was responsible and that I wanted to speak with them and he told me the "records analyst". I was transferred and spoke to a lady in that dept who let me know that his date was 2/4/06...that for some reason they did not restore all his lost time! I asked what would be the reason for that and she really didnt know as all she deals with is the numbers...she said possibly he refused to go to work or something. Which I know he has not...he has been working 10 hrs a day and taking 3 classes, he has been a very good boy. So I tried to call his counselor back to find out what the reason was that he did not get the full credit restoration....and the counselor was gone for the day at 2pm. Paul is going to call me back tonight and I will tell him and he will have to go see his counselor first opportunity tomorrow and I will also be calling tomorrow first thing. Good grief huh?

I am just going to let it ride right now and see what happens......I figure what is 28 more days at this point. That is what I am thinking....there is still a possibility that all things have not been calculated. I am not giving up yet....but I don't want to look at the ticker anymore....at least not right now, just in case Saturday comes and goes. Thank you so much for being so supportive sweety....all you ladies are awesome!!! You are my lifeline!!!!

I am so sorry this is going on Christine...hang in there....everything happens for a reason even if makes NO darn sense.!! Just turn to us for support at anytime if you need it!!

Thanks dboylove!! You are the best!!!! Now I am really confused though....I talked to Paul this evening and he told me that he has paperwork that says he recieved the full 90 day credit restoration, yet the records analyst told me they only restored 1/3. So I am calling the wardens office first thing in the morning. This just makes no sense!!! Talk about stress!!! This has got to be a huge paperwork mistake!!!



I am so sorry this is going on Christine...hang in there....everything happens for a reason even if makes NO darn sense.!! Just turn to us for support at anytime if you need it!!

I have come to the conclusion that THIS SUCKS!!!!!

Well sweetie, keep your chin up and keep thinking positve, there is no room for negative thoughts here. Like that good'ol saying goes "What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger" everyone here is thinking positive for you and we are all praying for you! Stay strong Sweetie!!!!!

Christina girl keep your head up! You know we are all here for you! I understand completely how you're feeling right now. I'm not sure if you were aware, but my husband was SUPPOSED to be home before Christmas. So I ended up waiting a good 20 days extra myself. It is not the end of the world. Sure, it sucks, but look at the BIG picture. They can't keep Paul forever and you KNOW FOR SURE he is coming home VERY VERY soon! Whether it be this weekend or 2-3 weeks from now, just remember this will soon be a distant memory! I know it feels like a huge set back, but like dboylove said, everything in life happens for a reason. Paul loves you and he can't wait to come home to ya! Keep the faith and we are right here behid you :)

Thanks ladies!!! You are awesome! I am starting a new thread with the new date right now!!!!! LOL. Its all ok......we can do this.

I agree! I think it sucks big ones!!! :argh: But all things do happen for a reason even if we can not see the reason at that time...

If he has paper work showing that he was given credit for the full 90 days but they only gave him credit for 60 then it is a good possibility that it is just a clerical error. There has to be someone who can either correct the error or give you a logical reason as to why the other 30 days was not applied and or taken back. Please keep us updated and until then keep your head up because like Mari said they CAN NOT KEEP HIM FOREVER... We are here for you girl! love ya! :grouphug:
