Just another Tuesday

L came over for coffee Monday and said that they are going to be heading out sometime in July. I dont blame them but WTF do I do now! So I thought okay I will just set the house up for the winter have someone come in and make sure all is working and see if we can stay with my brother and sister-in-law in the fall for the school year. Okay that is just nuts I cant leave my house for 9 months, move the kids to a new school just for 1 year. It really makes me made that none of our family gets the stress of deployment muchless even tries to understand it and asks can they help or even come up here for a visit. But that will never happen in 17 years family has only come to visit, 7 times. See I have this weird thing that during a deployment I CAN NOT leave the state because something might happen. I have many other daily little strange things that I do when dh is deployed. I told the kids that we would fly down to see family this coming christmas because last time dad was gone no one came to for christmas and it was the worst day. All 3 of our wonderful children were just rotten on christmas. And of cousr the dark of the long winter does not help. I love alaska but I only like may through september. I can deal with the cold but the dark can get to be to much when it is just the kids and me.
I guess only time will tell as the end of summer comes around and dh leaves. I am really hoping that he is put on rear-d, even thought the chance of that is none. So I hope that he gets moved back to the talk and wont be out doing missions. Lets just hope that the next 6 months drag by ever so slowly!!
