Last night was a meeting for DH's ship...it was nice...I liked feeling like a part of a bigger 'family'..and I really enjoyed getting information right from the horses mouth about schedule, leave, pay, etc. DH will be gone most of 2009. Doing a 3 month surge and then leaving for a 7 month deployment. They'll be gone for little bits and bobbles here and there too...
...so I really never thought it would come to him leaving again...it is going to be a real test for me..the last time I had my Mom, Brother, and only 1 baby to worry about. This time around we have 3 babies, and my Mom isn't going to be around. I'm just not sure I'm ready for DH to be gone for so much!! I mean the great and wonderful people I have here..all have their own families to worry about...
I've been here a year now and while that seems like a long enough time..I still feel a bit out of place..so I can only imagine how much more out of place I'll be with DH gone.
When I started writing this last night..I felt a lot worse now than I do posting it now. I had words of wisdom come from a dear friend this morning and I know she's gonna be a big cruch for me while Allen is gone next year...even if she doesn't want to job..hehe

Haha, I thought this post was going to be about a real wasp infestation or something creepy! Lol, but in all seriousness, just wanted to say: don't ever hesitate to come over and crash my house! Consider me another member of your support group! It's nice to get to know other spouses on his ship too, hopefully you have a good ombudsman who will organize nice get togethers and things to send off to the ship... Often times they are good people to talk to since they are literally living what you are living...
Awww... You poor thing! It sucks when your guy is gone, but you can certainly hang! And when you need some peace and some alone time, just drop the kiddos off here - I gotcha covered ;) Oooooh... and we can do potluck dinner nights at your place any time my DH is gone (or at my place - does not matter). So... WASP? You don't mean White Anglo Saxon Protestant... do you? I'm confused...
