With the election of the new president our lives have become increasingly more hectic. For the month of February George was home a grand total of 14 days. We are not starting off well in March either because he will get home the 2nd for a grand total of 5 hours and leave for Kansas City until the 6th. I had allowed myself to get comfortable having George home most days. It had been very slow travel the last few months of Bush's presidency.
I am looking forward to the new job, once the 3 weeks of training in Texas is over, and having George home more than he is away. Jakob is very aware when Daddy misses a weekend and is having major withdrawal this month. He gets weepy and very sad at bedtime. He has been a real trooper though and sleeps well once he is sad for a little while.
I have friends whose husbands have been/are deployed for 9, 12 or 15 months. I have the utmost respect for them and how wonderfully they handle the responsibilities of keeping the family going. I am grateful we only have a week or two each month and hope to never have to take on the responsibilities without George. The military life is interesting to say the least.
