Come on deployment ladies I know you have them…just one of those mornings where you wake up and your miserable. Your cranky, you don’t want to do anything in relation to motherhood that day and you just want your husband.
Yup well that would be me today, I miss my darn husband. It’s 4:14am and I am up because I am lonely. Yes I can say I might be longing for him intimately but it goes beyond that. I am longing for him for those strange noises in the middle of the night that I make him get out the bed to check, I am longing for him when I awaken at the most inopportune time in the middle of the night when I have to tinkle and I have to get out from under his warmth and step onto cold floors, but then I happily return to nice warm blankets and his arm to snuggle in.
Beyond the sappy stuff I miss not having to take out that ridiculously heavy garbage can (housing demands you use) every Friday. I wouldn’t have to if I my 10 year old would remember…she only does one chore anyway *hehe*. I miss pretending my back hurts alittle more then normal just so I can get an extra long back massage. I really miss him coming in from PT and taking the kids to school. Someone here at Schofield Barracks got the bright idea to not have buses because they figured every person wanted to be healthy and walk or drive in what is comparable to rush hour traffic in NYC. Lastly I miss him being able to break up a fight with the two youngins over something as minute as a crayon or a marker or because someone had a sheet of printer paper to draw on but the other didn’t. I mean geesh their’s only a THOUSAND sheets of paper in the pack …go get a sheet.
Really what I need is a break just one day!
I honestly don’t need a major day out at the spa or anything or some big shopping day. Nahhh I just want to sit home and be a total lazy slob just for one day with no interruptions.
Yes yes ladies even my poor excuse for a Army wife stories have some kind of a moral.
Today’s moral of the story is do not be afraid to vent or whine for a minute. We are all entitled to it. It shows great strength to be strong through everything, but it shows even greater strength to let your guard down and say “hey I can’t be Superwoman today”.
Until Then
Hooah & Smooches
