One day at a time

Last night I couldn't sleep. I miss Andy so much that it makes it hard to sleep. As the days pass, I'm sure it will get easier. I was happy that last night I couldn't fall asleep because Andy emailed me a little after midnight. We were able to get on Skype and see each other. It made me so happy to see him and I was also able to go right to sleep after we got off the computer. I feel very fortunate that we are able to communicate so easily when so many don't get that option. I'm hoping I hear from him tonight, even if it is just through email.

As for today, I felt pretty down and could have easily stayed in bed all day. My friend, Christine, celebrated her birthday today since it's tomorrow and has to work. I did partake in the activities...which consisted of breakfast, playing cranium and catch phrase. It was nice hanging out with them and it made the day go by fast. It's just too bad she has to work on her birthday.

Tomorrow is Monday and a day off for me (1 of 5 days I have off). I have a lot of errands to take care of tomorrow (changing my name) and need to get up early. Then I have to work the rest of the week. Work, work, and more work. I'm so happy about that. I'm subbing in kindergarten and first grade this week, so I'll let you know how it works out. I teach the older kiddos, not the the little ones. Yikes! Wish me luck!

Hang in there! It will get easier, I promise. It takes a while. But eventually you will realize you went a day and did great! Then you can do 2 days!! You will have bad days, but you will have good ones too!

Take care! At least the time is short that you will be apart (or shorter than most deployments anyway) and you two will soon be together again. In the meantime don't go crazy chasing those little kiddos around! :)
