I'm a wimp....
You'd think I'd be used to not seeing my husband, with his crazy shift and off duty work....
He was gone for 12 days this spring with our son on a mission trip to Ukraine and my daughter and I did just fine.
But he was out of town for 5 days last week taking a class for work and that was enough for me!
I've said before I don't know how wives handle it when their husband travels for work....
I certainly don't know how a wife handles a military deployment.
I guess I've found my limit on what I'm able to handle. I can do the crazy shift work- having dinner ready at 5pm one week and 7:30pm the next... Being quiet in the house to let him sleep after being awake for 24 hours... And whatever other crazy stuff that seems to happen each month.
But I can't handle the being gone for a week or more with little to no contact.
Sure, we talked briefly each day during his lunch break. And we even got on Skype a few times in the evenings. But it's just not the same.
So, I am glad he's home again and hopefully he won't have to travel again for another year!
