The end is almost in sight!!

Well, its been almost 5 months since I updated. In that time, Miss girly girl has turned 17, has her own car and thinks shes 18. She is finishing up her Junior year of High School and looking forward to being a Senior. Her dance recital is next Friday and Im sure she will wow us with her talents like she normally does.

Mr. Man turned 5 and is currently finishing up preschool and will start Kindergarten in the fall. =( Time flies.....I cant believe my BABY is going to be starting real school. He usually does something daily that makes me laugh, he is the future class of 2022 class clown.

We also celebrated our 18th anniversary 1/2 a world apart. Dont worry, he WILL be making up for that!!!!! Im thinking a night or two away, just the two of us once hes been back for a few weeks. The Afghanistan terrain will be NOTHING compared to how he will feel after that trip.

I am now starting to freak out......so little time to get everything done that needs to be done. Yardwork, cleaning the house from top to bottom, etc. so he comes home to a house where nothing needs to be done.......just enjoy being together as a family once again.

Looking back, this has been one long ass 9 months, yet its almost gone by fast. Back in September, I didnt think we would ever get to this point, yet here we are.....eagerly anticipating his return. I am also worried about what he will be like once hes home again. Will he have PTSD....and if so will he admit it to himself and seek help? Im worried that the lil man will have issues "taking" to daddy again. Im worried that Miss Girly Girl will think she is too independent to need her daddy. Hell, Im worried about what it will be like to live with him again. Its been so long I dont even remember what its like to live with him. Pretty sad that 9 months can wipe away over 17 years of my life and leave me feeling like Ive never lived with him. Im just hoping that all of my worries are unfounded and that once hes back here, things will be like he never left at all.

Until Next time.............

I cant live......if living is without you!!

So I made it through the first night of him being out of the country. I cant tell you how many times I called his cell, just to hear his voice. What I wouldnt do to just receive a text message from him. Oh, it hurts, my heart hurts. I miss him so very much. I feel so weak at times, like I wasnt cut out for this. I am a terrible Army wife, I cry.....cry til my head hurts. I dont feel strong enough to get through this. I long for the day I am decorating the house for his homecoming. My kids arent dealing so well with this either. Miss Girly girl, who is almost 17 has become extremely bitchy and has no patience with Mr. persistant who wants what he wants and NOW!! Speaking of Mr. persistant, he is having issues with missing daddy. Hes been having potty accidents since daddy left 2 weeks ago. He misses his daddy and wants him home. For some reason he has it in his head that today we go to the airport and get daddy. That coupled with my own issues missing my husband, is making me completely fall apart. I cant do this!! Oh and I found out that he wont be HOME with us until September now!! =*(

Oh....side note, yesterday the roof started leaking and the day before the pipes for the washer in the garage froze!!!!!!!!!!! Is it September yet?
