Deployment

Ya, Deployments are never fun. I choose not to whine about it. I have things to do, kids to take care of. Is it gonna help my kids if I am crying and depressed? No, it's not. So we get 24 hours to be sad then we get over it. It's his job. And a great job!

I have friends that do nothing but bitch and moan about it. Complain that the Navy has taken their spouse, like deployments and underways are for shits and giggles. It drives me nuts. I just wanna say "Grow up and get over it".

My kids do great. Better than most adults. I always hear about other peoples kids crying and not being able to cope.. Or they blame their kids behavior on the fact that mom/dad is deployed. How about this, your a lazy parent and need to pick up the slack. My kids do fine. Ya they miss their dad. But they know he's at work. It's not that he wants to be away from our family but his job requires him to be and my kids know this.

This has been the most active deployment we have ever had. Normally nothing ever happens. It's just boring and busy-haha! Not this time. I have been in and out of Doctors Offices/ER's/Dental Offices. It's been crazy. Not to mention the amount of money on gas-ugh! The car was in the shop twice and the dryer broke. Thankfully I was able to repair the dryer!

This deployment has blown by us here at home.  And because of all the stuff going on the extra money we were making went to all the crap that came up...aka, life.
