Two and a half weeks is all that is between now and my husband leaving on a 400 day tour of duty. I wish I could say that I was ready for this and that I have gotten all my ducks in a row, but the truth is I am floundering. It is just so much easier to shut down and not get ANYTHING accomplished then to start dealing with the fact that he is leaving. But I can't do that forever and I need to start getting my butt in gear. Monday, I meet with a case coordinator that will help me figure out what services I am eligible for (thank you Heather for getting the contact that got this rolling). I am just feeling overwhelmed, and it hasn't even happened yet. I know that I don't have much to complain about, people do this all the time and with more kids and less help. But it sucks being separated from someone you love for so long. And a big difference is the I have an amazing husband who is a good father. He helps out ALOT so it is a BIG difference when he is gone.
I know I will deal with it and Will and I will get through it. I just hope that I get through it in one piece without feeling like the worlds crappiest mom...
