Its 12:42 p.m technically the next day- and I am finally going to bed, Bryan is Still at the office:( He got up at 5:30 a.m. Poor guy:(. Any girl in my situation would probably think:
I JUST WANT A NORMAL LIFE AND TO EAT DINNER WITH MY FAMILY! IS THIS EVER GOING TO HAPPEN FOR US? I TRY TO STAY REALLY POSITIVE, BUT, THIS has been going on since we MOVED HERE! THIS IS REALLY HARD. I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR MY HUSBAND AND FOR ALL THAT HE SACRIFICES FOR OUR FAMILY. I JUST FEEL LIKE WE ARE MISSING OUT ON A HAPPY LIFE TOGETHER- I MISS MY HUSBAND.
So, i've decided, that i'm going to be happy anyway- and make some personal goals for myself- so I can be fulfilled and happy in my life.
RULES of CONTENTMENT for a NOT SO PERFECT LIFE:
1. always look for the positive
2. be grateful to even HAVE a GREAT HUSBAND. which he is- pretty amazing.
3. Love my children and treat them well.
4. Stay close to the Lord through personal prayer and scripture study (This could be a great opportunity for personal growth.)
5. Keep growing... learn new skills, master them, and take care of my healthy body:)
6. Seek out friendships
7. Laugh more often
8. Count my blessings-No complaining
I am SURE I CAN DO THIS.

Although my husband is home right now, he's always up doing homework, and I can either go to bed by myself (sorry, I did that enough when he was in Iraq--not doing it again) or wait up for him--and then oh yeah, my baby wakes up anywhere in between 4:45-7am. Does it ever end?!! I feel your pain, girl!
M.J.-
I've always loved your positive outlook on life, but it's ok to have a bad day every once and awhile! It sounds like it's pretty tough and we could always use an accountant in the good old G.R. of Wyo! Love ya sista!

Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.
Im sorry. I feel that deployments were a lot easier to handle then having them home and being gone constantly dont you?
Maybe he should become a chicken farmer? In Malaysia....Paul says its beautiful there ;)
If Mr. Smith's working the night shift again (just an accountant, my foot, I've got money there's a supersuit and cape in his brief case!) tonight or tomorrow come over and play with us. The boys are going camping with the scouts. I was hoping to finally crack open the scrapbook stuff since I missed out yesterday. the kids can play, we can party and eat!
I have always lived by the saying... "Happiness isn't getting what you want, it's wanting what you've got" And you have got a lot of wonderful things!!!
When Steve and I got married we were told that the first 5,000 years are the hardest. I know this time is so hard for you. It will get better.
Oh, MJ..sure love ya. I liked your post below where you shared so much about yourself. Maybe you need to block out a Saturday once a month for just yourself. Bryan stays home with the boys and cleans the house while your gone to the bookstore, windowshopping, or on a nice walk somewhere. A day here and there does wonders for me. Well, I'm never gone for a whole day, but a few hours of solo time does wonders. I don't know what to tell you about Bryan's work hours though...hang in there!
Hang in there, during the month of Dec. we see Dave maybe a total of 24 hours. It is hard but upi do survive!
MJ. I LOVE YOU! Sorry I have been crazy busy but I want you guys to come over again really soon! Can't wait to see you :)
I can definitely relate to having a husband missing in action most of the time. Luckily, my day finally came, and he is around more. My heart goes out to you, Mary Jane. I am so impressed with your positive attitude even though things are tough. You are a great example to me.
MJ, you are amazing. You have a beautiful little family, and most of it because of you!! I'm amazed by how tough you are, I've always been amazed by that. I love you MJ... you are truly an example to everyone.
that must be hard! what does he do again? I think every marriage has their challenges and no matter what we would wish we had what somebody else has. I know I do that more than I should.
