OK OK OK!

I know that I am complaining, I get it....

but here is the thing.

I have been waiting for David to come home since he left in NOVEMBER '07...

I can't take this hurry up and WAIT CRAP! I mean, is it so hard for the army to just do what they say they will, ONCE? JUST ONE TIME? PLEASE....Give me a break here! I mean I don't know how much longer I can handle the dissapointment in Ally's voice when she asks me "When will daddy come home?" Or " Is daddy going to make it home for my birthday" I just hate saying "Gee, I don't know baby, I hope so."

You know a kid in her class the other day actually told her that her daddy was going to DIE. I mean literally the kid said "Your daddy is in Iraq, he is going to Die there"

Yes, I know they are 7, and they are young and they don't understand it fully.

But here is the deal. I then have to promise my daughter that her father will be fine, when I don't know for sure myself anymore.

David is so worried that I will go insane if I know what he has been doing. ( AND I KNOW HE'S BEEN ON SEZIURE MISSIONS, I AM SO NOT STUPID HONEY!!!!!!!)

That he refuses to tell me anything at all. Which we all know, MAKES ME WORRY MORE.....

It's just getting to the point, where I am going to either bite someones head off or punch them in the neck the next time someone says, "Well your almost done, I don't know what your complaining for"

ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME YOU CRAZY BASTARDS!!!! WHAT THE HELL!!!!!! AAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so so so so so over this BS. Like GONE WITH A D!

I just...Bleh. I miss him so much that it kills me. I mean I literally ache for him all the time. My body is wearing down to nothing it feels like ( which might be good considering that I need to lose a few pounds=) )

But, I'm exahusted....mentally, physically, emotionally....I am worn to NOTHING.

I just need to know that this is not all in vain, and that he is going to come home like they said he will, on time, and in one peice.....

Ok...I'm done. I just needed to vent.

OMG GOD CODIE!! I feel like i was reading my thoughts! He will be home! And this last bit seems to be taking forever, i know! I totally get about being exhausted too. And i feel bad cuz i dont want to take it out on the kids. But my patients is no more. Everday its all i think about at this point and i wish they would all come home NOW!!!! GRR!! I know how much this is totally sucking (15 months is just TOO long) and anxious isnt even the word to describe it anymore. I am here if you need to vent...and remember, you are not alone, even though i know it feels like you are cuz the ONE person you want to be with you isnt!! Hang in there girl!

Girl, I'm not ever going to say it's going to get better. But it's worth the wait. The kids make it hard. My young one did for me, since he didn't understand. And OMG I cannot even believe that that kid told your daughter that! I really wish parents would teach their kids respect for others, especially ones that are sacrificing so much. Hang in there, you guys will get to see our crap area soon enough :P
