The deployment. Only a few days in to a very long year. It started off with a bang. Joanna contracted lice at school, so Easter weekend was spent treating her hair and washing everything! I can not believe how much laundry I had to do. And combing her extremely thick hair with a lice comb everyday is a workout in itself.
Josh is having tummy trouble again. This is a common occurrence for him but it doesn't make it any easier. It seems to happen with every growth spurt and any new teeth coming in. He has a fever spot on his cheek, which is why I am thinking teeth this time. I wonder if his molars are bothering him.
I managed to make it through extreme weather with my windshield intact here, but then Sunday some jerk threw up a rock and cracked it. One more thing added to the ever growing "to do/fix" list.
Honestly, Jason being gone didn't really start to hit me until last night. I guess I've been so distracted by other things, I didn't have time to deal with my own feelings. I went to bed about 10:30 and had a terrible time going to sleep. No big deal, lack of sleep has been a HUGE problem for me for over 2 years now. However, my fear of the dark has not been so bad, at least for now. The sun rises at 5:30am and doesn't set until 10pm, 10:02 to be exact for yesterday. But even after sunset, it never really gets dark. I could still see everything in my yard with no lights on at midnight. It's freaky, but great. No nightlight for now.
At some point I fell asleep, only to wake up suddenly in total fear about 1:30am. It was one of those eye popping, shoot straight up out of bed with your heart pounding kind of wake ups. Took a while to calm myself down before I could turn the light back off and lay back down. Needless to say I did not get much more sleep after that.
