My husband left yesterday for Iraq and i'm not taking as well as I thought I would. My kids have surprised me by keeping me Sane, as suppose to Insane. I try not to cry in front of them, but I think they're just as sad as I am.

My son is 3 1/2 and my daughter will be 2 next month. We told my son that daddy was a soldier and he had to go fight the bad guys, but my daughter just knows that she misses daddy. He's only been gone a day and I feel like my life is falling apart. I've preety much just been cleaning and spoiling my babies. What else do I have to do.

This will be his 4th deployment and it seems as if this one is the hardest. The first 2.... I was in the Army as well, the third..I was pregnant with my daughter and had a 13 month old.. and this one... I have a very smart son..and a daughter that is learning from her brother.

Well, i've babbled long enough..I guess it's easier to talk to strangers then you'r friends....You have to act strong around them..

Talk to you guys later
