day 20......blah.

So I thought time was passing by incredibly SLOW since my husband left but what do you know....we are already at day 20! Okay, so we still have a LONG way to go, but every day he is gone is a closer day to him coming home!!!

Right now my stress level it probably at a 8 or 9. :/ I have felt very overwhelmed the last few days and it doesn't help that my back is killing me and all I want to do is sleep.  I ordered new furniture for my son's room and the baby's nursery last week.  I didn't think it would be here for another three weeks but SURPRISE! it will be here next week.  My goals this weekend are to get the kid's room cleaned out....take all the stuff we are donating to Helping Hands, and make room for all the furniture being delivered.  Did I also mention I start school on Monday? lol

I think staying busy during a deployment is important because it makes the time pass faster, however, I may have bit off more then I can chew. There are so many "projects" I want to get done before my husband get's home but being 22 weeks pregnant is definitely going to slow me down!!

Introduction/ What's to come

I feel like I should introduce myself first to anyone who may come across this blog.  I am 25 years old and have been married for over 6 years.  My husband has been in the U.S. Army for almost 14 years and is currently serving his 5th deployment in Afghanistan.  Together we have 2 children, (6) and (3), as well as another little boy due in May! Right now my blog is meant more for a "venting" zone where I can come lay out all my thoughts and frustrations while my husband is gone.  As I get better at this (and if people actually read it) I may start posting tips, discussions, ect. for people who may be going through the same situation as me.
