Will has had so much time at home; I honestly don't know how those family's go through it. I have friends doing it now. <BR/><BR/>However, I have no family up here and little support system, and I know if he were gone for a long time, I would go to stay with family for awhile, as some of my friends have done, or he would leave us in an area and base where there is more support. <BR/><BR/>I feel for single moms most of all though and having had some as friends, I have tried to support them the most. <BR/><BR/>Whatever others may have had to endure though, doesn't diminish the fact that this is what we have to deal with and it is always a hard thing. Perspective is always good, thanks.Lady Caythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16432464361167921950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31275887.post-6619577585098781152007-08-05T20:16:00.000-05:002007-08-05T20:16:00.000-05:00It sounds like it's going to be tough on you to ha...It sounds like it's going to be tough on you to have Will gone for 2 months. Perhaps this time will make you pause and realize how lucky you are to have a husband in the Navy who DOESN'T spend 6 of every 12 months out at sea like so many in the Navy do (not to mention those in other services who are deployed to Iraq/Afghanistan for 14 months at at a time...). And what about the single moms out there? I guess every day must feel like a weekday (as you said = no breaks) for them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31275887.post-28930268977653038842007-08-03T20:44:00.000-05:002007-08-03T20:44:00.000-05:00Yeah, thanks for visiting.

Charley can't swim and I'd have to hold Ben if he didn't want to sit in a float. Plus, the only pool we have to swim in doesn't have a shallow end (Navy pool on base), not to mention trying to get them safely in and out (ahh) :). That's a great idea for when Will comes home for a weekend though. <BR/><BR/>We bought a little kid pool for the backyard that we've been enjoying. It's not great, but it does the job. Plus, we have a great shade tree in the backyard so that helps to keep the water cool for us!Lady Caythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16432464361167921950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31275887.post-51138003293036897332007-08-03T07:04:00.000-05:002007-08-03T07:04:00.000-05:00sounds like a wonderful evening :) It was nice t...sounds like a wonderful evening :) It was nice to see you and the boys again. Jared had a fun time and was tickled with Charley & Ben's company. Sorry I left so abrubtly; Jared was tired and I wanted to cool him down a little bit, so we went to Barnes & Noble before heading over to Lobster Night.<BR/><BR/>Have you guys gone in the pool lately? That sounds nice and cool on a hot summer's day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
