I had a friend who's husbqand was in te Reserve and was called up 2x in a row for 9 months at a time with only 3 months between. They had two little kids as well.<BR/><BR/>The best advice I could give you is to take advantage of your support system and friends who want to help. Don't feel like you're burdening anyone. If they offer to help, that means they really want to.<BR/><BR/>And don't be afraid to take advantage of the time you can't sleep. Spend time reading, writing, crying, praying, etc. Whatever it takes to get you through another day!Gina Conroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13647753231391009981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27155002.post-1149874707299463412006-06-09T21:38:00.000+04:002006-06-09T21:38:00.000+04:00Wow, I move my furniture all the time.

I feel for you, trying to keep things normal for them on not much sleep. Best wishes to you and your little family while Daddy's gone.Milliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09673273777386297395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27155002.post-1149873196145694902006-06-09T21:13:00.000+04:002006-06-09T21:13:00.000+04:00I hope that you do enjoy your time on your own. M...I hope that you do enjoy your time on your own. My husband used to travel, but never at extended stretches. That's tough. <BR/><BR/>These were the things I came to appreciate when he was gone:<BR/>Cereal for dinner (for me and the kid)<BR/>Not being as vigilant about housekeeping.<BR/>Doing something special with my daughter or friends--like going out after 4pm, which I never did, because I was "waiting" for him to get home.<BR/>Reading or watching my TV in bed.<BR/>Entertaining friends who are single, divorced, or also with husbands on the road.<BR/>Missing him and him missing me--absence makes the heart grow fonder.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03789250398792504412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27155002.post-1149863839762164602006-06-09T18:37:00.000+04:002006-06-09T18:37:00.000+04:00Woo-hoo - let's see if blogger will work today.Isn...Woo-hoo - let's see if blogger will work today.<BR/><BR/>Isn't that funny that he thought it was a new couch! Kids are such creatures of habit. It's how they manage their world. My 4yo still asks me to move her bad "back by the window" the way we had it about 2 years ago.<BR/><BR/>Don't worry about accomplishing everything on The Plan. My kids are sometimes MORE upset when we are overly busy. You'll find a rhythm that works for you.Katherine@Raising Fivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12887240362516586161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27155002.post-1149850239523008452006-06-09T14:50:00.000+04:002006-06-09T14:50:00.000+04:00I'm sorry you aren't sleeping well and the boys ar...I'm sorry you aren't sleeping well and the boys aren't coping as well as you would like.

Do you realize that what you've just posted really shows how you understand what's different for them while your husband is away. So many moms would just be impatient and expect the little ones to cope like the big people do. Good for you!<BR/><BR/>I love to read the things you write.someone elsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12524255841655400982noreply@blogger.com
