Sometimes I wonder where the weeks go, and other times I wonder when the heck he is coming home already......this was a FAST week, so it seemed.
Mike's been on a port call all week, so we've skyped a few times. Actually today I let Abby do "quiet time" upstairs using the computer so she could play her games......low and behold Mike skyped her and they chatted unbeknownst to me (downstairs eating my lunch...) She loved it. She answered the skype session on her own and talked away, telling him all about her day.
I never knew it happened til an hour later.......Technology and kids.......
But tonight I read this on Facebook and it made me laugh....pretty much sums up the last (near) year of him being gone. This has been a VERY busy tour for us, and these signs have become my daily norm! I didn't think they were so odd until someone put it in a list like this!!
1. Your wine purchases have doubled.
2. The kids want pizza again? Sure.
3. Your fantasies involve the bath and the bed, for bathing and sleeping. And that’s it.
4. Every American flag makes you a bit weepy.
5. When your kid’s playdate is leaving at 4, you desperately ask the
parent if they want to stay for dinner. And then maybe a sleepover.
6. You consider joining a
single parent support group. (Especially if your spouse is an IA or you’re not in a spouses club.)
7. Suddenly your Reserve weekends seem a
lot more fun.
8. You stay at Chick-Fil-A for three hours. Or more. And you don’t always eat.
9. You go to bed at least two hours later than usual. And stay up too late watching
TV. Probably
Law and Order. But SVU or original, not Criminal Intent.
10. When laundry piles up, you just buy more underwear.
