Hurry Up and Wait

I've been very busy with trying to help my son get ready for the Army and our trip to Minneapolis for my husband to enlist him, then back home and then quick turn around to Denver. The Hubby has a class in Denver and I'm going along for the ride and much shopping.

So this morning we got to the MEPS (Military Enlistment Processing) and waited for 30 minutes for them to tell us that there was a computer problem and they can't enlist our son until tomorrow. They tried a bunch of ways to get the paperwork straight without the computer so the enlistment could happen. No luck.

The Captain allowed us to take our son for the afternoon and evening. He had to be back in the hotel by 10 pm. But he had been so wound up about going today, that he was yawning in the truck and we feed him dinner and then took him back to the hotel. The Army has a contract with a hotel near the MEPS and such. The hubby and I are staying down the highway, near his favorite restaurant, Culvers.

We going to try again tomorrow.
