Navy Wife Blog

My poor baby Savanah is so sick. I think it is a virus or something equally as awful. We have had such a busy week. This next month is so overbooked for us. Just thinking about it all makes my head spin. I have so much to do with PTA and I am so dreading it. I am over the PTA right about now. I have been drained and I no longer feel like I want to have anything to do with it. It's just too much.

And with James being gone and then getting ready for the next deployment...I am once again back to single motherhood. When James is home he really helps me around the house and with all the day to day things. He helps way more than the average man. And when he is home we just feel at ease. It does not seem like home without James, we are missing a very important part of who we are when he is gone. We are just incomplete without him here! But we are a team, and family and we WILL get through this like all the other ones before. We will add this to the list of things we survived. We will go on with life when he leaves and act like we are 10 feet tall when someone asks how things are. I will once again handle everything alone and make sure James get's lots of care packages and letters while gone. I will run on fumes for sleep, stake out the computer 24-7 for days at a time when he first leaves...just hoping for an email that is no more than a few sentences feverishly typed by James between watches. Then Savanah and I will settle into a routine, and get back to doing things our way also know as the Deployment way. We will become accustom to just the 2 of us and make our own schedule. We will continue to count the day until James comes home, and plan according around his duty schedule when he returns.

And in the end things will slowly fit back into place and then just when it get's somewhat back to normal....the process starts all over again!

This is REAL LIFE stuff kids. This is the Navy Life that we CHOSE to live.
