Well, it's still raining. The sound is comforting in a way, but it still makes me miss my husband even more. Normally, we'd have popcorn and some silly movie before we cuddled up in bed together. And I would have the most peaceful sleep. Now, I toss and turn. The bed feels way too big. I just can't find my comfort when he's gone.
We have six wonderful children, CiCi- 13, Elliebear- 10, the Princess- 4, Bruiser- 2, and the twins, Little Guy and Pinky- 17 months, who will be waking up just as I get settled in. I think they are dealing well with Dad's deployment. Princess and Bruiser don't seem to fully understand just yet. I tell them he's at work, protecting them and our country. Princess tells me she is proud of "Dada"- as he is known and I think she actually understands the concept of what she's saying.
I can't wait for this to be over. Not only for Dada, but for all of our men and women in uniform. It's gone on for far too long. This will be his second deployment to the middle east. And I am hoping his last.
I got to speak to him on the phone today. It was so good to hear my honey's voice. I was missing him something terrible. It is funny how the sound of his voice made me smile and feel warm but want to cry at the same time. Just because I knew the call would end and I would have to let go.
I tried to keep busy all day yesterday. Tons of laundry and chores to do. And with this rain and 6 stir crazy kids stuck in the house, it was overwhelming. But I have to do it, keep the body occupied and the mind will follow. I just wish we could go to the park or something.
Guess I will try to get a few more hours of sleep. Wish me luck!
