Quick post

This is just a quick post... I mean really quick. I got sick this week and it knocked me on my arse. I mean really it came from no where. It took me all Wednesday to recover! Fabulous. I mean really.
SD is over some where doing some really good stuff right now. This cruise (how funny is that!) they do not have a phone on board the ship... So communication is a major key into getting through this. (see Deployment, How I take on the challenge ) Last night I was up talking to a friend on Facebook until an unmentionable hour of the morning (notice NIGHT was not used), hubster popped online....
Being that I really value the abilities for instant communication with my husband we had an email chat for 2 hours, Yes two hours! We talked about the kids, taxes, Kipper, a friend for Kipper, rain, Kids, him, me, new toys they got, you name it. I even told him I didn't miss him ;) (ask silly questions you get silly answers). I got 3 hours of sleep last night all to keep my communication open with the hubby.
A lot of women complain that they do not get phone calls, that they do not get emails. I got much more of both last deployment. I realize that I was very spoiled and I will not get that every time. I take advantage of what I can get and realize that sometimes a happy couple is better then the sleep I could be getting.

Ladies and Gentlemen take advantage of ANY and ALL communication that you are able to have with your service member. It will make it roll by a lot faster as well as for a great deployment for all involved.

Also, just like you should never ever go to bed angry at your spouse, never hang up the phone mad either. I do not feel I need to go in depth on this one. I just strongly advise against it.
