Well the reality of deployment has hit us hard. I've been fighting off the depression that comes with being separated from someone that is superiorly awesome. Appetite is crappy along with my mood. Sleep is either too much or none. And the kids have also got it. So today in an attempt to slough off the hopelessness and sadness, I've created routines. No more will we sit in front of screen (computer, tv, or otherwise) from the time we get home to the time we go to bed. There will be time for snuggling and book reading together as well as family dinners minus 1.
Overall, I think the change in my attitude today really uplifted us all. I'm hoping to keep this contagious movement going and just maybe I can get the kids in a better emotional state especially Ryan. Next step is making sure that the kids have built in email time to daddy each day.
On a side note: I hate how creaky the house is when he's gone. And my thermostat is clearly broken, it's either on fire in here or it's a freezer. Geez.
