With all the other stuff that I have to do when he is gone, cooking is one thing that gets put on the back burner. We also visit family more often, especially if it is summer.

After I get that out of my system I pull myself and dig into the house. Like other ladies I like to clean, organize and just put things where they belong. It is a feeling of accomplishment. I read more books since I have the time to do so. One thing I did this time he was gone was to start a blog. I don't blog as often as I would like but my intention was to blog about everything that is going on at home. It gives him a chance to read and see what has been happening. When we get to talk it isnt for long and I don't want to spend that time going on and on about everything that has happened. The blog is a good way for him to catch up on even the little things happening back home. Well of course I cry a lot at first and wonder how I will ever get through it.

Whenever I am stressed out I clean, clean. My roomates used to get annoyed by this because I DEEP clean! But it makes me feel good and I love to look back on what I've accomplished! The past two deployments, I cry when my husband leaves. I let myself be miserable for the rest of the day... and then I'm done. I will buy Ben & Jerry's Cinnamon Bun ice cream, whipped cream, play a sad movie and get it all out. Then I'll go to bed... and smell his pillow. And in the morning I'll wash the sheets that smell like him and start fresh, because I'm already one day down. It really "sucks." Lol I always clean! Whenever I am stressed out I clean, clean.

I get busy and set up projects. I also try hard to get into a good routine, which helps the day to pass quicker until he gets home!
