Wow, I haven't posted lately! Things have been so stressful lately that this blog will more than likely contain a lot of complaining. But I don't care, I need somewhere to vent.

I feel like every time I turn around someone in my family is sick. Dan had the flu, then I had the flu. Then Abbi was sick. Then Jacob was sick. Then Jacob was sick again. Now Abbi has some stomach bug that is going around and guess what, now Dan has it. I'm sure Jacob or I will get it next until its worked its way through all of us. My poor son has missed so much school this year from being sick. He has fallen so far behind so many times to only have to play catch up. My husband and I, we've been vomitted on and thrown up on. Sooo many showers have been taken its not even funny! And my poor, poor Abigayle. She has gone through more than I wish my worst enemy to go through. I just wish we could get all this sickness out of our house!!!

Aside from everyone being sick, we're all secretly upset about how fast time is passing. This upcoming deployment is hitting us all so much harder than the last one did. I know its going to be harder for me because I'm no where near my family. Last deployment I was an hour away. The last time he left, the day they got on the buses, I packed up and my son and I went and stayed at my parents house for a week. Then 2 weeks later my grandmother came into town so we went back and stayed again. Thanksgiving, we were at my parents. Christmas, at my parents for days! And now here we sit in 2600 miles away from most of our family. The kids and I plan on going to visit NC but thats only for a short while. Where am I going to run when something goes wrong? Who is going to hug me when I'm having a bad day? Needless to say, I am not looking forward to this deployment. I am not looking forward to any of this. I hope those months pass quickly, I really do.

Thats all for now my phantoms. I'm done bitching. LOL
