Day 169: The blahs

Today Emily had her one and only choir recital and it was really cool. I was worried that Daniel would be talking and interrupt it, but he was quiet and really seemed to enjoy it. Of course I recorded the whole thing and I will be sending it to Ian as soon as I can. After the recital, we had dinner and came home. Ian called to tell the kids goodnight and to hear about the recital. The kids really love talking to him and it makes their night to hear from him.

Tonight I am not feeling so well and am really missing Ian. I know he would be here to take care of me and take care of the kids so I could get some rest. I guess I just miss having someone to lean on when I am feeling weak, in every sense of the word. Dealing with things on my own is not a new concept for me, especially in the military life, but I know what it feels like to be able to lean on Ian for help and support and I really miss it. So, I am going to get to bed early and try to take care of myself as best I can, because I am all my kids have right now, and if I get too sick, it will not help them.

Another day done, another day closer to seeing him again. Another day that I made it through, still standing. It is something I know I can be proud of and something that will show when he comes home, because being successful now will help our family be successful at the end of this deployment.
