:( Cruddy Night

[Timber99]

I can't believe that I am about to write this after the 16 month deployment that we made it through almost a year and a half ago, but boy, do I miss my BF tonight! He has been gone for about a week and a half at a military school and will be gone until this weekend. We just had our last phone call until late this week b/c he is heading out to do soldier things for several days...and I am just sad

I should just be glad that he is in the States again, safe and sound and in training rather than "out there," but I have been in a slump the past two days and tonight, even the puppies don't have enough love! It's not only him not being here, but also not being able to call him or discuss anything important when he does call (all things that I guess I got very used to when hew as away last time but fell out of when he returned).

Sorry, just had to vent and get this out! I can't tell him so I decided to talk to you guys instead!

Christine, I'm sorry for your sadness. He must be a very special guy and I think it's sweet that you miss him so much. Do I understand right that he will be back this weekend? If so, maybe you can make some plans this week to meet up with some friends, do an extra workout, call an old friend or come here to "see" us whenever you feel the need! I'm also glad he is back safe & sound and tell him how much we appreciate all he's doing for us. Let us know how you are doing tomorrow. Sweet dreams!

Awwww....Christine! I'm sorry, sweetie! That sucks that you won't talk to him for a few days. Just keep yourself busy and the time will fly quickly!

My bf is gone until this weekend, too....not doing soldier things, but doing hunting things up in northern Wisconsin. ;-) I talk to him every day but it's usually a lot of static and dropped calls.

Hey, Christine - let's get together, have lunch and go shopping and get pedicures and massages so that when are men come back we'll be relaxed and lookin' good! WOOHOO!!!

Hang in there!

RE: Hey Angie!

Thanks guys - I feel like I am being a big baby tonght! I always use my time to its fullest when he is gone, catching up at home and work, doing extra things with friends, etc. Guess it's just time for a party of another sort tonight - a pity party!

RE: Hey Angie!

Hi Christine,
I just saw your post from last night. I hope you are feeling better. My DH is in the military too. We are overseas right now and he is on a ship so I have had my share of days where I've felt down too ... I just wanted to let you know that if you ever want to talk, vent ... whatever! ... let me know and I'll give you my email address. Hang in there! I know it can be tough! Do something special for yourself today ...

Hi, Christine! How are you feeling this morning? It looks like we have you, Cathy, Debbie and I ready to get together for a Girls' Night Out to cheer you up! Anyone else want to join us?

Yeah, pity all you want - we'll listen!

RE: Hey Angie!

It must be so hard to have a family and be in the military. I can't even imagine it. My husband just started a new job and it is going to require a certain amount of traveling, about a quarter of the time. We have three children. And, I am so nervous about it. I'm sure I'll adjust and get used to it. But, there are so many things around the house he takes care of and when he's away I'll have to do it all myself, the roof, the woodstove, cleaning out the chimney and stuff like that. Not to mention the kids, homework, soccer, and all that driving!

RE: Hey Angie!

I am feeling better everyone, thanks It helped me a lot just to come on here and vent and then of course, your responses brought me some smiles! There are just some days when I get that sad bug and last night was definitely one of them. I'd love to get together with you all on those nights

It's definitely different when he is not around. I guess I just got very used to it when it was a constant thing during the deployment. These little spurts as of late seem to be getting to me more than they used to. It's sort of enpowering to get everything done on your own around the house and take care of it all and after a while, it becomes second nature. Plus it is always good to know how to do these things so you are not reliant on anyone. All that being said, Heather, when he is home, LET HIM DO IT
