Great article! Definitely need to keep busy. I stay busy with church activities. An idle mind is the devil’s playground and I do not want that to happen. Skype is awesome!

Great ideas and tips! Forward this on to current military wives as well as wives whose husbands travel alot. This is also very practical for extended training (including BCT) as well! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the great ideas, Monica. I agree, accepting help is hard but necessary. Just one month after we began our 18mos apart from Daddy, I was lying on the kitchen floor screaming in pain while my 3 and 1 year old looked on. I found out a few hours later that a tube had ruptured (ectopic pregnancy) and surgery was to take place immediately (you know…so I didn’t die! yipes!). I’m SOOO grateful to have friends who will not think twice and venture to the ER at 3am and pick up my children and then keep them for a few days. I had people bringing me meals and checking in on me for weeks afterwards. I pride myself on being pretty resourceful and capable while my husband is gone. Being forced into a position where I had to ask for help turned out to be the greatest blessing.
