Feeling kinda blah today

[sweet~n~sassy]

I'm just having a blah day so i needed to whine for a min. Hubby has been gone for 2 months in Kuwait and last we heard he will be gone until April 2004 :( and I am missing him so bad right now. We get to chat everyday and he calls home every 3 or 4 days, but it still isnt the same, but it will have to do for now.

My town got hit by a tornado a month ago, and everytime I have to drive through there I just get so depressed and I just want to cry. All our beautiful old building are gone, the trees are gone, it just looks like a bomb went off :( Peoples lives are just a huge pile of wood and metal sitting in the city park. It's just so sad.

I love my kids more than anything, but sometimes they drive me crazy with all the bickering back and forth. I need some mommy time so bad right now and I just can't get it.

Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed with everything that has gone on that I think I am gonna loose my mind.

Whew, I feel a little better now. Just had to get it out somewhere.

Wish I was closer...I would take the kids for a few hours for you....I know how it gets to need alone time. Is your DH Military? If so, is there a military program or something that could help out? {{{{ScarlettRose}}}}}

Sounds like you need a you day of pampering. Pedicure, manicure, fresh flowers to perk you up.
I hope you get through the slump! Good luck!

Thanks everyone. So far today seems much better. Yes Widget hubby is in the military, but we are 2 1/2 hours from the nearest post and the Family Support Group for his unit sucks. So there really isnt much help there. I need away from kids so bad, I have my 2 girls plus I babysit my brother and his girlfriends 2 girls, so there are always kids around. Brothers g/f will babysit for me when I need away time, but she is working 6 days straight right now and is heading to Texas for 9 days. I will have to hit her up to babysit when she comes back though :)

I know how you feel! My dh is in Iraq. He's been gone since 11/02. I have a 3 yr old and babysit everyday in my home. Do you have a neighbor or friend that'll babysit for you for a few hours?? That's what I did last nite. Went out to dinner and to a club for drinks with friends for a few hours. Hadn't been out for a few months and I needed it! If you can even send them to someone elses house while you get a bubble bath or nap that's probably help too! Good luck and hang in there! Hoping your hubby gets to come home sooner than April!! Mine is looking like August at the earliest.
