Anyone doing anything fun?

stephcarter · February 2014

B decided to get up at 6:30. I guess that's her routine now. Was hoping she'd sleep in. She was so fussy last night. Stayed up until I laid her next to me on the floor at about 9:30.

Since I got up with her this morning (DH is still sleeping!) I'm thinking of going to get a massage during her first nap. I've got a groupon for a 1 hour hot stone

@Hismom12, we've been trying not to go out lately too.

No massage appts available. Booooo

Hanging out this afternoon, tonight we are going to dinner and a movie while my inlaws watch Emma.

It's February now

H leaves for deployment in 9 days. All I've been doing is panicking and crying. I don't know how I'm going to do this and I feel like no one wants to listen to me.

stephcarter · February 2014

@Rachelilly23 that's what we're here for. Hugs!

How long will he be gone for? Where's he off to?

9 months. He'll be on a ship. It completely sucks because this isn't even his job. He was "voluntold" to go (he works in a navy community and isn't attached to any specific ship.) The deployment is billeted for a lower ranking officer but they didn't have anyone else qualified to go. So they're basically wasting a higher ranking, hardworking officer sending H and don't even have a replacement for him at his current job. So it's basically like all the hard work he's done at his job is going down the drain. It's extremely frustrating and I have no idea why he didn't push back on this more in the beginning. It just makes him going away feel so much worse considering how much of a shit show it is.

@rachelelilly23 hugs. We're here if you need to talk. Enjoy the time with your husband before he has to go. Wesley and I are going shopping then lunch with my mom and sister and then seeing by friend

@rachelilly23 like the other girls said we are all here for you anytime you need to post and complain. Are you in a moms group or anything? Something to help with your days?

Ashley cut her finger last night near her cuticle and the damn thing bled for two and a half hours! She was fine but good lord it just wouldn't stop and it is such a tiny cut. Of course my husband was at a hockey game at the other end of town and we only have one car, so He left early and got some liquid bandaid. That stuff is awesome!

stephcarter · February 2014

@Rachelilly23 wow, that is pretty shitty of them to do. Is he active duty Navy or just works for Navy? Will he stay with them when he gets back. I'd be angry and try to find another job when I got back, but I'm a spiteful person.

So we've got 9 months to keep you sane, I'm up for that challenge

Definitely look into mommy groups, it might help.

Or move to NJ. @Chricast and I can keep you company!!

stephcarter · February 2014

I napped when B napped. I heard her wake up about a half hour ago, heard SD go get her about 15 minutes ago. I'm not ready yet, this bed is tooooo comfy. It's holding me hostage.

stephcarter · February 2014

Sorry for the 3rd post in a row, but @mmnumber5 you must've posted while I was typing. I hope you feel better and they get you out of there soon!!

Wally3 · February 2014

@Rachelilly23 that is what we are here for come complain whenever you want.

I'm just hanging out. DS1 is at the neighbors, Ds2 is outside with DH "doing yard work". I haven't been feeling well so taking a little break. I just want to feel better. I had stomach flu last week, then business trip, then head/chest cold, then I leave again on Wednesday. I can't wait to be home next weekend.

Rachelilly23 · February 2014

@stephcarter, he's active duty. And he is deployable, we just were thinking we'd get through this tour without it happening. He's too important in his current role. It just sucks. We don't even live anywhere near a shipyard. He actually works on an army base and has to travel 7 hours to get to the ship. It's not like we even will see him off or like any other navy people are going with him from our current station. So I don't have anyone else going through the same thing here. I feel really alone. When he gets back he'll have to finish his current orders here until August 2015 and then we'll move somewhere else but it technically won't be a deployable tour.

I joined a moms group when we moved here 19 months ago but last month they decided not to renew the membership on meetup.com. They have a Facebook page now but they just aren't very active. I have some friends here but I tend to become a hermit when I'm this sad. I started seeing a counselor in December for anxiety but found out Monday she had emergency surgery and will be out for at least 3 weeks. So I feel worse because even though I need help she's not there for me.

My parents live in Philly so I'll likely spend chunks of time up there. But this whole interviewing for jobs thing will throw a wrench in that plan if I actually get one. The timing isn't good, but I've been looking for a job for a year.

We were looking forward to doing something fun because we all are getting over being sick. But little dude woke up with goopy green stuff in his eyes. So we went to the dr and pink eye and another ear infection it is. He's napping now.

stephcarter · February 2014

@Rachelilly23 I'm not far from Philly at all!! If you want to, we can get together (with and/or without kids) if your there for a bit!! Hoping August 2015 comes fast for you.

...stuck in box..

@Rachelilly23 we are definitely here for you, @stephcarter and I would love to meet up with you if you came to Philly I cant imagine how much the whole situation stinks for you. My husband works for the navy as a civilian and I hate when he has to go out on the ship, thankfully it is usually only for 2 weeks then they fly him off back to land but the lack of being able to communicate sucks!

Mrs_Lady · February 2014

We went to storytime at local bookstore did a farmers market and had lunch at a french bistro I'm drinking a cup of tea on my ugly deck finally a nice day!

StefanieM522 · February 2014

@mmnumber5 glad your getting fluids hope they can figure out what is wrong soon and you can go home.

Wesley is napping in the car after our little photo shoot with my friend, so I'm bumping and playing minion run because he desperately needed a nap.

navyandviolet · February 2014

Older two are watching despicable me 2. The baby is getting ready for bed. I am having some hot tea. And contemplating a hot bath later on. Off to help dh.
