My wonderful husband left about 30 minutes ago to go to Kuwait. I feel so sad. He is my best friend. 12 months to go. It could have been worse it was 15 months
It does. We already have the count down board up he and the kids made it yesterday. These are some of my thoughts I just put on another board.
My husband just left tonight for a year tour in Kuwait. Can I ask all of you to say a prayer for him and his platoon most of everyone in the unit that left are very close friends of ours that makes it a little easier to know that they have each others backs. This is a hard night for me. right now he and I would be watching soemthing that we recorded on the DVR and now I am sitting here cell phone in pocket and a computer at my fingers. My family is not whole right now. My poor 8 year old Daniel came home and went straight up stairs got in the bath without being asked and just sat there and stared no bed time story from my dad were his only words. He got out the bath went into my husband's and I room grabbed the shirt my hubby had on today and wore it to bed. The 4 year old Aaron is so confused. My mom called and he told my mom that I'm scared my mommy is sad. I have never let my kids see me cry and really angry until tonight. An I know that freaked them out. I am dreading my real first night alone. We go to bed around ten and watch TV until about 12 and then sleep. Get up at 5 am before the kids wake up and just have coffee together. What to do now. This day went by way to fast and when it came down to it. They only gave us 8 minutes to say good bye to our world. I didn't want to let go I thought if I can just get time to stand still it will be ok I will have him here just one more minute. Then he got on the bus and poof gone. He called tonight when he got on the bus but I missed the call cause the phone were asked to be shut off. I hope it doean't set the pace for the 12 months. I just got my first call and just to hear his voice has made me feel a little better. When I wake up in the moring I am getting my kids on the bus and then going to the gym coming home and putting my new life together. 364 days to go. Thank you for reading my thoughts. Please hug your spouses and thank god you have someone to drink coffee with.

Thanks for the kind words. It's so quiet around here no ebox on. I don't hear the kids screaming up stairs cause daddy isn't chasing them from the different rooms playing hide and go seek (their fav game) I sat at the table at lunch today alone those are the worse times. And you know what is gross I went to wash sheets today and skipped my bed cause it still has the scent of his body wash. I miss he little things but I keep telling myself he will be home before you know it. I keep think of my friend who lost her husband in Baghdad last year so I am grateful that he will be in Kuwait and not some where where there is constant shooting and for that I am thankful.
Thanks. right now they are still stuck in Germany. The plain they were on broke down in AIR so they had to turn it around so they have been sleeping on cots. I am just counting down the days and it has just started. When does your DH come home?
