So I don't blog like I used to, not that it really matters. But I'll just say I'm suriving. Somethings I learned or I guess I already knew:
1. I can't live without my husband
2. My kids can't live without my husband
3. Kids have no respect for Mom,
4. School homework really stinks!
Mark has started a new much more busier schedule. He is back on the Oral Suregery rotation and he has been home once before 9 this week. He goes to bed well after midnight is up by 5 or earlier. And normally not home until about 10pm. My kids are not handling it well. Or maybe it's me not handling single parenthood well and thus my kids are a reflection of my shortcomings? But I know what thing Mark can never deploy. Which is a silly thing to wish for seeming that can really happen. But Michael has done a 360, total disrespect, I mean I had a little before but now, it's like pulling every single tooth out for him to do anything, he hates homework and reading. Whish is so frustrating, especially the reading because I dont' want him to hate it.
I'm not one of those super great women like Rebecca or Carley who do well and do amazing things when there spouses are gone. No I loose my mind, I can't retain much short term information. I Can't keep my house clean, nothing new there.
The good thing Daylight Savings the kids go to bed by 7:30 normally! Yea!
We'll I must get back to cleaning I'm determined not to ask my kids to clean today. I think I ask too much of them.

I'm sorry. That really sucks. And having a hubby with those hours is worse than a deployment. Plus, I had you around when Dan was gone! And it may also be an age thing with Michael. I know you'll do fine. Hang in there
Um, ya right! You should see my house. I haven't cleaned in like a week!
So is this what we get to look forward to come next june? I can hardly wait!
Hey Sharon, I can't believe how beautiful and handsome your children are. I also can't get over how much they have grown up. I also hope you didn't cut your hair too much. I like it long. I cut mine like JM, and am long over it now! Well, I have the same email, if you want to share words of wisdom-or vent to someone who just about understands. I'll "spy" from time to time also, if that's ok. *Dan calls my reading blogs spying. Yes, I also hope all is going better, if not...it will!
It is never easy being home by yourself. For some reason the kids act out on us when we are the ones there doing everything for them .I am sure you are doing great. Stay strong! I am in the adjustment period now as my husband just left for four months!
