Muddling & Mishaps - Reality Blogging

My husband had been preparing for a six month (or longer) deployment for the past year.  We actually knew about this deployment before we were pregnant with Teddy - and even when we found out that we were expecting the sneaky little ninja baby, our plans didn't alter in any way.  We needed the money, he wanted to be with his guys...it was a sacrifice we were willing to make as a family that would be brutally painful in the short-term, but pretty darn good in many aspects in the long-term. There is a whole lot of thought and planning that goes into getting ready for a longer deployment.  I won't even get in to all of the emotional hurdles and changes of mindset that my husband had to undergo to get ready.  That's his tale to tell.  From my perspective, however, I had to get ready to mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually be with two very young children on my own.  In particular, our two year old daughter is beyond attached to her daddy. ...

Ironically, the lack of posting came at a time when I vowed to start blogging on a more regular basis.   The problem?  The keyboard on my computer stopped working. Well, not entirely.  Just the "c" key.  And the "v".  And the ".", the "7", the "9", the "enter", and occasionally the "space" key.  Sometimes the keys would work if you would cuss at them enough, but even then, they would only work just  enough to give you hope that you could type a sentence in less than five minutes, only to promptly disappear again.   Anyways.  I now have a working keyboard again!  Despite my complete and utter exhaustion due to raising two little wolves  children, I vow to start writing more.  Stay tuned!
