Well, DH has been home for around 72 hours and I have left him downstairs and in charge tonight. For several reasons. The first is that he has been gone for 7 months and I’ve done it by myself every night. I mean, God bless all of the friends and family who visited while he was gone, but none of them took care of bath, jammies, snack, story and bed. He’ll be okay…I made dinner and left him to only get the girls to bed and clean the kitchen…not necessarily in that order. So why tonight of all nights? I’m hidden away upstairs listening to the Super Tuesday results come in and because I’m trying to write this blog. Sounds like a good enough reason for me.
Today was good. It was our first chance to be without kids since Jason got home. The bad part was that, as usual, the AF cramped our style. He had to go to a Reintegration Briefing (if you want him to reintegrate, leave us alone) and then he had to go clean his weapon. Huh? Are you kidding me? Ok..whatever. We had a good day anyway…went to the gym where Jason taught me a little bit about what weights I need to lift…don’t worry, I asked for the advice. Had lunch and then picked the kids up. Not a whole lot, but we had a little bit of peace. It was good.
