been a few days
Been a few days since I have written. I am anxiously awaiting contact from my husband. I haven't heard from him for a few days. I am really worried, but I guess we all are when they go outside the wire. They went on a 5 days mission this time. It tears me up inside when I can't talk to him. I had a weird dream last night. I dreamed that me and my parents went to visit my husband in the middle east, and I never did find him in the dream. Weird, huh? I just wish he would call, or email, or something. I pray that he is alright and the same for his troop. I guess they found him a truck to drive since his last one got destroyed, or that is the way it seemed when I talked to him last.
There are some women in our group that are getting strange phone calls. Some are saying that they are in Baghdad and that they know our soldiers' SSNs and other information like that they have no children. They are asking for information on location and such. I have not received on of these calls, but will be ripping someone a new one if they do.
I guess all this stress is getting to me. I haven't really been able to eat much, which I guess is good for weight loss, and I have had strings of migraines. I have been trying to relax, but nothing has seemed to help. I have started having sleep problems again as well.
I have been talking to a couple other wives and mothers and that has been good for me. One of the wives married her soldier before he left as well. We even set our wedding date next year for the same day. Weird coincidence, but I am moving mine. I don't want anyone to have to choose whose wedding to go to.
Anyways, I am out for now. Pray for me people. I am worried sick. I will write again soon. Hopefully by that time I will have heard from him. |

I have found that the military docs will prescribe you just about anything you want. I've got stuff for tension, for headaches, order for sleeping pills, ... you name it. Don't get me wrong, I use them sparingly (I haven't ever even picked up the sleeping pills, but it is nice to know I can call the pharmacy and get them if I want)... but it is nice to have on-hand to use as-needed.
I suppose their priority is making the separation as painless as possible for the family members. I even got a prescription for vicodin once, because I told the doc that sometimes that is all that can relax me (truthfully) and get rid of the headaches. On the days/nights that I'm not medicated, OTC or prescription, (which is about 98% of the time) I find that a long hot shower followed by immediately hopping into comfy pjs and bed can many times help me drift off to sleep in only about 45 minutes (which is definitely a "good night" for me. Also, some SleepyTime or Chamomile tea I find helps relieve headaches, along with a good snuggle with my dog and cat.

i know what it's like not hearing. especially when they are out missions. but remember, no news is good news! but it's hard not hearing from them that they are ok. read my last entry, you'll see the horror i've gone through, even tho i have talked to shane since my last entry. it just stinks all around! i've been through the whole sleeping problem, ulcer, stress crap and still get bouts of it once in awhile. it comes and goes but i know i have to keep myself going cuz of the kids. otherwise i would be in big trouble! those phone calls sound really weird! i hope that no one is giving out any information when they get those calls! well gotta go, take care!
