Last night was the first night that Hayden and I spent alone.... We got to Skype daddy last night before bed and it broke my heart. Daddy said "Bye bubba" and Hayden started tearing up and then started full on crying. It only got worse when we closed the screen and Hayden was screaming "dada dada dadda!!!" I just held him while we both bawled our eyes out. It really is awful not being able to comfort your baby with the 1 thing that he wants. It will be a big adjustment not getting his daddy time while mommy is at work. He walked around all morning asking for DADDA- and I just have to reply "daddy is on the ship he will be home soon!"
This morning was my interview for the Lead position at work- I went into the interview being impartial to wanting the job and not wanting the job- I am totally content being at the teen center and love the program that we have built as a team, not to mention the kids and the flexibility that the job has to offer. I think I nailed the interview and got a great vibe from it when I left- just wish that the Nursing School Acceptance letter would get here already so that I could have made my own final decision sooner. We will see where the road takes me. But if I do get the job my income would go from 1200 to 2400 a month HUGE JUMP!!!.
I just wanted to say thank you to all my friends and family who have been there for me and will continue to be there for me through this journey- and to my co- workers who deal with my OCD busy work that I am doing to make it through the deployment faster.
Today I am cleaning the house top to bottom- already vacuumed and shampooed the carpet- next steam mop the floors probably- we will see where the motivation takes me.........
PS I am loving this sunshine and 75 degree weather that we are getting today!!!
About Me
- Deployment Mommy
- I am Kristen, a college grad from Oregon State (GO BEAVS!!!). I have been married to my College sweet heart since June 2008. We had our miracle baby October 2009 in which baby and I almost didnt make it through it. Since then we have been healthy and living the life of a military family. I decided to start blogging because my husband deployed and wanted to document the journey that the deployment brings on the home front.
You are a strong girl Kristen! I will be thinking of you and Hayden and I will keep my fingers crossed about the position change and your nursing program. Miss you friend!
