Another day waiting

With Thanksgiving just two days away, of course the military will be off so we have to wait longer than usual to find out what is going to happen. Is this deployment going to get moved back? Be as soon as 2 weeks? Is it going to be cancelled? Is he even going for sure? I have all these questions and no one to answer them. I am hoping sense it is soon that he would have the rest of the time off, but no he has to spend that time out processing, which takes days!!! I'm trying to cope with the idea of being alone for half a year again, it isn't easy. I do a lot on my own, but my husband is always there to help when needed. Here's the thing about being a team, and being on your own. Whether you get the help or not, the simple fact of them being there is enough help on it's own. For example, during his last deployment to Iraq, if I wanted to go grab a bite to eat or a candy bar at the shoppette, I couldn't just go. I had to tote two kids along with, so there for it's a lot more work than it's worth. When he's home, I can just leave them with their daddy and I can do that short run alone. Simple and done. Those types of situations are great, to be able to just go!
