Ed is on another deployment. We will miss him terribly. Now that the kids are old enough to have an opinion on family matters we give them a choice to skip school and drop him off or say good bye in the morning before school. The advantageous children they are they always choose to skip school. This time wasn't bad. I am not pregnant this time so it was a little easier to keep my emotions in check. Daphne did not want anyone else to hold her besides Ed the whole time we were waiting for him to leave on the bus. Kevin kept asking if we could go to lunch when he left and Anya seemed ok. Anya always had the hardest time when he leaves. We all said our last good byes and Ed got on the bus. Kevin waved to him, just like we do to him, when Kevin goes to school. Daphne waved too, it was a bus after all. And Anya LOST IT. Hysterical crying which then got me crying because it is so sad to see your child THAT sad. The commander of the unit Ed deploys with came over and asked if we were ok and if this was his 1st deployment. I then explained it was his 4th and I was ok it is just hard to see your child that upset. He was so nice, he even walked us to the car, and said if we needed anything to let him know, even though Ed is not in his squadron. So here is to another deployment. I am determined to make this one good.
I WILL BE A NICE MOM
I WILL BE A FUN MOM
I WILL GET ENOUGH SLEEP
I WILL NOT TAKE ON MORE THAN I CAN HANDLE
I WILL ASK FOR HELP
Now we are counting down until he comes home. Got a while but at least the clock is ticking away already and it is that much sooner he comes home. For now we have a skype Papa, but that will do for now.

You're an awesome Mom and I sure wish I was there to help you with your kiddos and bring you some warm soup. I know you're strong and you can do this! You're one of the most capable women I know.
You are amazing. I cannot say anything more; a-mazing!
