Mark is now no longer on US soil and I am having a terrible day. I have cried and cried. As I have posted on another thread last week, Roseanna has been peeing her pants so I am taking her to the docs today to make sure it is not medical. BUT all I want to do is curl up under a blanket away from the world. I know I have to go through the motions of being mommy but I didn't think today would be as bad as it is. He has been gone since early October training but I guess since he is really gone now I am in meltdown mode finally. Sorry, I just needed to get that out.

Awwww sweetie, I can relate. I just dropped my DB off at the airport this morning, he's back to Korea. I want to do the same, but DS wouldn't understand and he hates to see me cry. Just concentrate on breathing today. That's all you need to do, breathe and the rest will just happen. No worries.....PM me if you need to talk.

awwwwww !!! Im so sorry hun!!!

I can imagine how hard it must be for you right now...I really believe all those women out there who have children AND are going through deployments deserve a HUGE ASS medal! you are what makes a strong woman...You can do this!!!!!

I have full faith in you that you will be able to make it through this...you have me!! hahaha...I can make ya laugh!

Im always here for you hun! always!

Don't feel bad about getting it out! I was the same way when Tim left! No worries, he will get there safely and he will call you when he gets there. They all do. And they will spend some time at the first place and then my husband will be sure to keep him safe and show him the ropes! I know it is hard now but we are all here for you and if you need anything, just let me know!!!

:hugs

I'm sorry sweety!!:hugs

:hugs

Sorry to know you are having a bad day. It will be better tomorrow. Stay strong and cry when you need to. We all do it!

:hugehug

I am sorry hun! I know how hard it is, and when you are finally done running around and its nap time, grab those kiddos under the blankets with you and cuddle with them. That is what i did the day Andy left.

Today is a SUCKY day for you and you are aloud a few :tears. Let me know if there is anything i can do for you!

It will get better, i promise! Today is just one of those days....:vent

you'll make it through this.. my daughter started peeing the bed after my hubby left. it was hard, but after the first few weeks, it started to get better. i'm not sure how old your kids are, but my daughter goes to preschool and after talking with the teacher, they planned an entire day about hometown heros, and my daughter got to talk about her daddy.. took in items for show and tell, etc. it really helped her understand where he was and why he was there. :) just an idea. hang in there, it will get better tomorrow..

Thanks everyone for the support. I can't wait for bedtime. I am going to run a hot bath and put on sad music and let myself breakdown. I need it!

TPuckey---Roseanna is 5. She has taken somethings to show and tell at school when he left for training and I have also hosted a troop craft at my house for our mom's club. Roseanna and the kids made Valentines, tried on an old uniform and listened to a book about soldiers. I just hope that it gets better. I feel so bad for her but at the same time it is frustrating. I do not let her know that I am mad about it and I am trying to be supportive if it turns out to be emotional (which is what I am thinking). The results of the UTI test come back tomorrow morning.

Oh sweetie. Im sorry your having one of those days, but let yourself have one.
I know us mom struggle with this, but sometimes, its just too much to be strong all the time around the kids.
ERic has been gone since Dec and he leaves for Iraq very soon and Im just waiting for my meltdown day when you realize they are no long state side.
Its okay, tomorrow will be a new, better day. I promise!
PM if you need anything! Or call me if you wanna talk.:bigsadhug

:hugs I'm sorry for the terrible day!

I'm sorry, it'll get easier, promise. I hope everything turns out alright with the test.
