Well, I finally got a call from my husband on Saturday. I’ll be honest, he was a little on the cranky side; however, I suppose he has a good reason. I’m excited because the weeks are just flying by; thankfully this will all be done and over with before I can blink an eye. I’m already excited and nervous about homecoming. It will be nice to have an adult helper. I can’t imagine how much easier my life will be. Between training up for the deployment and actually deploying, it’s really been close to or over a year since he was home on a routine basis. We haven’t gotten any official word as of yet as it pertains to his return, but that’s pretty typical.
Everyone made it through school this week, yet another miracle and I’m finally starting to feel human again now that there’s actually some daylight and sunshine!! The girls were pretty upset after they got to talk to daddy, but I’m just glad that they received the opportunity hear his voice and know that he loves and cares about them. They’ve been pretty good about it all; sometimes the subject of daddy being gone comes up at night as they’re getting tucked in. They tell me they miss him and we talk about it. I don’t want them to feel as though it’s not okay to be sad or miss him. It’s perfectly fine; however, sometimes I think they use it as a crutch. It’s kind of difficult to strike that balance.
Uneventful is the best way to describe this week; I say that with a sigh of relief because there’s no telling what the next few days hold!
