I was very much looking forward to some respite care for the girls today. I get one day per month and it’s about 7 hours in length. Last night I developed an optical migraine, which developed overnight into a headache just teetering on the edge of a full blown migraine. With that of course came [...]

I have the stirrings of a migraine, not good. I’ve been getting migraines more often lately which I’m pretty sure are stress related. Been unsuccessfully trying to clean the house lately. Between the cold and not being able to breathe and now this lingering migraine, it’s not looking good. I’m hoping to get rid of it [...] I woke up at 3am with a throat on fire. I checked my glands to see if I was maybe snoring, and they were swollen like walnuts. Lovely. I’ve been taking oil of oregano every 4 or 5 hours or so, and so far it seems to be kicking its butt. But, that also leaves me [...] Seemed to be an appropriate word for the title of this post. With the emergency in Haiti, it looks like Glens tour may be extended by three months. The rotation that was suposed to replace Glen is in Haiti, they were at “high readiness” when the earthquake struck so of course they responded immediately. If they remain [...] I made it 18 days of sugar free living, lost some weight, felt great, it was awesome! Then, via MSN today, the husband tells me that he had to travel into Kandahar, Afghanistan to do some military stuff over the span of a few days. He neglected to tell me this, because he didn’t want me [...] That’s what gets me, when the kids are in bed, asleep. No way to talk to Glen because he’s 8 hours ahead of me right now, and likely just thinking about getting up to start his day. By the time the void really starts to bother me, it’s too late. No one to talk to anyway, friends [...] We’re 25% into this deployment and it’s really starting to wear. I’m tired of feeling that I’m on my own. I’m tired of people asking how I am, with the expectation on my part to say “Fine! Great! Wonderful!” We military wives are supposed to be made of tough stuff. To put our lives, careers and everything else [...] Someone is missing. Glen has been gone for three weeks now, and we’re all feeling the hole that he has left in our hearts. Spending time with his family here in Edmonton, while great for the girls, is also a painful reminder of his absence. His parents and sisters are an awesome distraction for the girls though, there [...] While I wait for my stupid computer to load Adobe. It’s taking it’s sweet assed time. Glen arrived on the other side of the planet safe and sound early this morning. Tired and jet lagged. It was a 14 hour flight with a stop in Glasgow to refuel. Saying goodbye was hard on us all, except the [...] Ok, now it’s kicked me in the teeth. Tonight I sat in a room while people told me what would happen if the absolute worst happened. I sat there listening to the Officer tell us about the underhanded tactics that the media uses to get the story. Stories of the media beating the Assistance Officer to your [...] |
