Let's try this again!!

I am having the hardest time keeping up with this... Especially the first week... But now that I've gotten used to Alex being gone, I find that I'm staying up later and waiting to see if he's online. During that time, I get really bored... So maybe this is the time that I will begin to blog, again!!

I am hoping that I gain more followers so that it doesn't feel like I'm writing to no one and that someone is actually listening!

Day Numero Dos

So today was a good day until I got home.

Last night Colin and I slept in my bed because he's sick and I want to monitor his breathing. Then Alex called at 5:45am!! I got to talk to him for about 5 minutes. That will be my last phone call from him for a while, unless he gets a phone over there.

I went with Ashley to put her husband's phone on hold and we saw the Ex-O. Then we went shopping around town (no I did not spend any money). Once we got back on post I realized how barren the post is right now. Kinda made my heart sink when I thought about it. Then I thought about how I was planning on staying here the whole deployment and how my babysitting job fell through. I'm hoping to find a schedule for Colin and I to stick to soon... Once we're both well. Then I got into my apartment and got on the computer, checking facebook. I went to get up, but I knew I couldn't really leave the computer. I'm continuously checking my email and have to have my phone attached to me, even though I know he's not going to respond or call. I think I'm going to go to the store to get some pretty paper so that I can start to write him. I just feel the need to be with Alex, and obviously I can't. It's the most horrible feeling ever.

Part of me can't wait until the rest of the unit leaves so that I have more than one wife to hang out with. I'm pretty sure there are only 4 wives out of my husband's squad that left. Not that I don't appreciate Ashley, I just don't want to disturb anyone from time with their husbands before they go.

I should really clean up and do some laundry, but that would mean that I would have to move all of Alex's stuff. And that just breaks my heart. I want him to come home and put on his jacket and go out to the mall with me. I want him to pick up his towel that's on our bedroom floor and use it for tonight's shower... But all of that won't happen.

I need to start making a list of things to go in his first care package... Whenever I may send that out. lol

Welp, I'm off to push through this!!

Here goes Day One

Unfortunately this will probably turn into a blog about the deployment, but that's okay.

I stopped doing my Photo Project 365 and decided that I would start it back up when Alex deploys. Then I could use each picture to help make a scrapbook titled, "When Daddy's Away, The Baby Will Play." I'm pretty excited about that part. Something to keep me busy!

So today our alarm went off at 6am, but I hit snooze and woke up at 7:15am. What a great start to the day, huh? So we start getting things ready and realize that we have to give one of the married guys a ride... So Alex calls the poor kid and he couldn't find anyone else. So we rushed and got everything together in a matter of 45 minutes and were out the door by 8am.

I dropped off Alex at the barracks and had to go back to the store because he needed a few patches and such and I needed to withdraw some money for him. Well turns out that they didn't have the patches that I needed and then I overdrew our account.

I almost get pulled over on my way back to the barracks. Then I get to the barracks and find out that they moved to 2-22's Cold storage. So Alex runs across the street to get me and we finally get inside out of the wind. From then we just enjoyed each other. The guys left us at about 10am.

From there I went out shopping with a few friends and then came back home. When I came back home I cried, but started coughing at the same time... so it didn't end well. lol Then I had to take Colin to the Clinic because of his cold. And now I'm back home.

Alex said that the tires on the plane blew up... So they're not leaving for a while now.... GREAT!
