Today was a really hard day. I’m not sure why today was so much harder than all the other days but it was.<\/p>\n
I’m not sad, depressed, or overly tired. I’m just done.<\/p>\n
It’s a strange mix of emotions and I never know exactly how I should be feeling. I just want things to be normal. And if normal means we’re a one parent family for the next nine months I’m okay with that. I just want it to be how it is.<\/p>\n
It’s really hard to explain, but I’m sure many of you understand.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow will be better.<\/p>\n
My husband has been deployed to the Middle East for 274 days.\u00a0 These are my real thoughts expressing my heart during his absence.\u00a0 I appreciate your prayers and kind words as we cope, adapt, and carry on without him until August 2014.\u00a0 To read from the beginning, click here<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
