I get the question a lot "What do you do to pass time on deployment?" Honestly, and as sad as this is to say I am really to busy to sit and think about doing this alone. I have really 3 days a week that I am sitting with nothing to do. Two of those are weekends. With Princess in school and Prince in 4 therapies a week we stay busy. I also decided that a hobby would be good. A hobby for anyone is actually a good thing.
Having three babies all 2 years apart sometimes going in public is hard. Especially with a child with SPD. I have come up with my own little system and that is what works for me. I have a lovely Sit-N-Stand stroller. Prince rides in the front and Princess stands in the back. I have them together and they have their own little spots. I wear the Munchkin in my Boba Carrier and I have free hands to do things for me.
As with any military wife, I think our nights are hardest. I contantly tell myself that no matter where he is, just at the base or halfway around the world, we both see the same stars at night.
Great post, keeping busy & productive is the best way to pass the time. Love your comment about seeing the same stars at night!
ReplyDeleteWhile my hubby isn't in the military, he does travel A LOT. He's gone almost every other week for a few days at a time. I agree, nights are the hardest!! Keep your chin up, he'll be home soon...and know you are the best mommy!!!
