Ok, you know all these great reality shows that are coming out as of late? Well, I wanna pitch one to a TV network about "Westpac Widows". Anyone who is married to someone in the Navy knows what this is. Actually, why stop at the Navy? It should be "Temporary Widows Cause Our Husbands Are On Deployment in Some God Awful Place Really Far Away". Is there an acronym for that possibly? ;)
(This is what the sunset looks like where DH is at right now. He says there's tons of dirt in the air and it's totally nasty. Another reason I probably shouldn't be complaining....)

I really can't wait until R gets back in Nov. Simple things are not so simple anymore. Making dinner, laundry, keeping the house somewhat tidy, going to the bathroom, getting a drink of water, breathing. Ok the last one there's a joke but the rest are not & I know there's more but it's like 11PM and I am tired.
I wonder how I manage to stay sane most of the time. When you're used to having someone around to help out w/ the kids, it's great. Until they gotta leave. Then it
sucks ASS. I think I am being whiny because there are awesome single moms out there that NEVER have the help and here I am complaining. Or moms that are going through much worse things than being alone temporarily. It's just that my job can be very demanding and w/ no family close by to rely on, it's an added stress. I was told today that there'd be another big round up of people needing to be arrested soon. My mom cannot fly out again so soon. My aunt will be gone until Nov. Who can help me? My coworkers will not understand this situation. Enough about me.
There are people I know of---blogs I read that are dealing w/ much more harrowing stuff than I am but I can't help but think I got it bad too. My heart really goes out to 2 blogs I read tonight. Christine and Jessica---my hugs to you. For real. Jessica, I wanted to comment on your last blog post, but I just don't know what to say except my heart is broken for you right now. Christine, Brody's mama---is just a saint. My tawdry complaints about being sidetracked from doing what I need to do since Sam is so demanding of my attention, seem so unimportant right now. I kinda felt the need to complain about my problems and then at the same time disqualify them for what others are going through.
I just don't know what else to say...
