I have to admit ... my girl is just precious.  Yeah I’m biased but she has a wish that I know she thinks of alot.  Probably more than I realize.  She wants Jay to come home from the Army.  She misses him as much as I do.  She tells me sometimes when it’s bedtime that she wishes he were here, that she loves him and misses him.  The look on her face is enough to make me want to cry.  I tell her he’s at work like Daddy was at work.  But what worked for a 3 year old does not work now that she’s 7.  She doesn’t want to be a soldier like her mommy and Jay, or like her dad was, because she doesn’t want to go to war. 

I may not like the fact that my best friend is there (I’m being selfish for so many reasons) but he knew what he was getting into and I give him my full support.  I am very proud of him.  So is Kira but that doesn’t make her not wish he was here.  She misses getting wrestled with or tickled or flung around on the couch at the station.  I miss seeing them play together because sometimes Jay was just a little kid inside an adult body.

So, I too wish that Jay was here.  I miss him and even though the firehouse is full, it’s still kinda empty without him.  His presence is always larger than life and usually that was enough.  The times I miss him the most?  Everyday.  When I have something to tell him or I just want someone to cheer me up.

So, Kira’s wish for Jay is that he comes home from the Army.  My wish?  That he comes home safely in whatever manner he was intended to.

I am sitting here enjoying the snow falling.  Yes, that's right the snow.  After so many promised days of snow we actually have snow that's sticking to the ground.  (And about 2 inches of that was on my car!  *grumbles*)  Well, not condusive to taking a young 'un to school.  Yeah they had school.  Good thing it's earlier rather than now because now ... the snow is sticking to the street.  The firebird handled well this morning.  I know my low track works (ya, for anyone who knows my car that is a frelling shock!) but I would not have taken Kira out if there had been snow on the road.  Makes me miss the POS Pathfinder and the ass warmers with 4WD.

But it is peaceful.  Wish I could share it with Jay but he's only seeing a shitload of sand right now.  I'll have to send pictures.  Yup got some this morning but will take more in a few.

The only thing I"ve ever really liked about snow ... is how peaceful and calm everything is.  Like everything is perfect and in harmony.  Oh and the perfect chance to snuggle up with your someone special.

I'm not sure what would be going on if Jay were here but I know that my department has already had one MVA this morning due to weather.  A single vehicle rollover.  It was station 2's call and I must say ... 407 was a wee bit excited.  I think because he either saw it or came across it on his way to work.

I still can't believe that Little Rock is finally getting snow!!
