Day 2

Today was a good day. Yesterday I let myself wallow in the sadness of Jon leaving. I stayed strong for my little girl, but once she was down for bed, I let the emotions take over. I let myself cry and let myself feel immense sadness. When I was through, I made a promise to myself that I would wake up in the morning with one postive thought and let that thought start my day. Today's thought: Sleeping late is one of the deployments BEST benefits.
I don't know why, but when my husband is home my daughter will wake up no later then 6:30am-EVERYDAY! But when he is on TDY's or away for the night, she will always sleep until at least 7am. That extra half hour is like gold to me. I can lay in bed relaxing or actually get a few extra minutes of precious sleep (which I've needed this pregnancy).
So when I woke up this morning and saw the clock, I thought my first postive thought of the day before I even had to remind myself to do it. That in itself helps me know that I can make it through this pregnancy and deployment.
