So, hubby has been gone for almost a year.  He was home for a couple of weeks last November when we moved and our baby was born, but I haven't seen him in a good 7 months.  I was doing pretty well, I thought, just plugging along and taking care of bid'ness...

then a couple of monkey wrenches were thrown, and I was down for the count.  I wasn't really sad, just... I guess that's what it feels like to be depressed.  I was just blah and I didn't want to do anything.  I stopped going to church, the laundry sat around for days on the couch before I folded it and then it sat on the dresser until I wore it or it fell on the floor.  We got a lot of take out food.  I watched a lot of Law and Order Special Victims Unit.

But then, I don't know, I snapped out of it.  I've been doing a lot of digital scrapbooking, that seems to help.

 

Anyway, I'm back.  I've dropped some groups and will probably drop a few more.  Nothing personal, I just need to trim it down and try not to get overwhelmed.

Vince should be leaving Iraq for Kuwait in less than a month, and we should see him just a week or so after that.  So it's less than two months, should be.  Then we'll have all that to deal with, but at least I'll be dealing with it next to my warm, living, breathing husband.  That will be nice.
