Life has been busy, busy, busy around here. I attempt to keep myself and the children going all the time, so the time my husband and their daddy is gone will go by more quickly. It seems to work pretty effectively, however when the end of the day comes I just want to collapse and fall asleep. Yet when my head hits the pillow sleep does not come. It takes awhile for me to get to sleep and then on most nights it is a restless sleep where I wake up off and on again. Recently I have been contemplating taking my sleeping pills again but then my fear is not being fully functional in the morning for our children. I suppose time will tell me what I need to do.
A typical day for me involves going to the gym in the morning for an 1 and a half -2 hours after I get my daughters off to school. After the gym my little man and I come home and make lunch, put him down for a nap, wait for the girls to get home and then it is off to the YMCA for swim lessons. After swim lessons, it is time to come home and make dinner. Of course their is no typical day in our lives as we usually have other activities which come up that get added to the day. Like last night I took my children to see the movie Fame. It was a pretty decent movie, however not as good as I anticipated it would be. Still free movies are always wonderful! Today I am going to try out Yoga for the first time with a friend whose husband is also deployed with my husband right now.
Some days are more of a struggle than other days, yet I try to make the best of each day. I am learning to cope with stress more effectively as a result. Blogging seems to be an effective way of purging my emotions whether the be angry, sad, disappointed, happy, or humorous etc. It will also give my husband the opportunity to see what I am dealing with each day.
