Army messed up again! Go figure!

Ok...I just need to vent. I feel like I take one step forward, and then the Army punches me in the gut and I take several steps back. I had a great week....God talked to me and showed me how I should have my focus. I was doing so well...supportive of Dee....strong for the girls....THEN....Dee's paycheck gets deposited and guess what? Once again, they have messed up his pay! UGH! And this time, it's not any extra money from travel. It's his actual paycheck. He got 1/5 of his normal size check. ONE FIFTH! How are we supposed to live on that? That doesn't even pay a car payment...much less buy groceries and gas. I've heard every excuse in the world from the Army, but bottom line is....they haven't gotten ONE SINGLE THING RIGHT since Dee's been in. We've had the pay messed up several times...had his orders messed up....had his Security clearance submitted wrong on 4 occasions! We should all be scared that we have an Army that can't even take care of it's own.
They want me to trust and be happy. Well...kind of hard to do that when they are taking food out of the mouths of your babies! I know alot of Army wives and NONE of them have had the problems we are having. And no one will confess to being the one that messes up the paperwork. It's supposedly at the Batallion level, but who knows!?
It truly is depressing. I keep trying to fight back and have faith and trust God. But they sure don't make it any easier.

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. I was really OK with it until tonight. I was already down about this financial situation...then I walk in to Kroger and two friends of mine were in the store buying their wives flowers. It made me sad.
I did talk to Dee tonight and believe it or not...they did get something right. He actually got his mail today! The girls and I mailed him a Valentine's Box two days ago....via UPS 2 day ground. But I thought it would sit in the Army office for days before Dee would get it. But he did receive it! So all our treats, cards, stuffed animal, etc...made it.
Dee made me a CD the night before he left of songs that have meaning to us.....either older songs or new ones that remind him of me. I guess I'll listen to that tomorrow and just be thankful to have a wonderful husband, even though he is away. I have two bags of things for the girls tomorrow, so this will be special for them anyway.
