Day 61

So its begun

The giving up of control

The waiting for contact at any moment

It's hard to wait around for a phone call

When I am constantly trying to entertain 2 children

And keep the involved in activites

Last deployment it was just me

Dropping everything in a second for a phone call was easy

Not as easy this time

Like when I promise my 3 year old that he can go watch the frog and turtle races at 1pm

And then I get a message from my husband that he'll be on the computer to skpe at 1pm

what is the right decision?

Waiting home for the phone call

Or going to the turtle race that my 3 year old hasn't stopped talking about since the night before?

I stayed home and skyped

And just completely lucked out that even though we missed the turtle and frog races we saw 3 of the turtles anyway and got to pet them

****pheww****

That's a big sigh of relief

I made the right decision in this case

And it was so good to see my husband and know that he was safe

But if we hadn't gotten to pet those turtles.....
