My post got lost
| Fri, 02-29-2008 - 7:37pm |
I thought I posted this a few hours ago. I don't see it.
My DIL called me a little bit ago. My ds, the one in the Navy who was doing a tour out of harm's way, has been deployed to another location. The ship is in lock down which means no contact with us. I'm glad that I talked to him the other day, but I had a major melt down today. I don't know what to do or say. It just feels like way too much. The whole "God doesn't give us more than we can handle thing" certainly is not ringing true for me right now. All of these things in such quick succession, in a month's time. I'm feeling lost right now.










wow..I am sorry to hear this....
you have had way to much to deal with recently..
all I can tell you is :this is out of your control...nothing you can do!
and :"no news is good news"
no wonder you feel lost!
but remember this: this too shall pass
see if you can find something to distract yourself
hugs

HI Steph
Well as Dutch said this is out of your control and you did talk to him the other day. It is a scary thing to think about the ship being in lock down and you cannot talk to him. However no news in good news. Hang in there girl.

TY, Gabby. He got to call my dil yesterday for a few minutes. Apparently, if they can send up something airborne (can't define what, again, for security reasons, sorry) to scramble the signals. During that time, they do have access to the phone when they are given permission and email. Fortunately, I was able to get an email off to him. I got one back this morning. Both brief, but that did help me feel better.
Things are heating up where he is going. It's worrisome. However, it could go either way at this point. It's totally unknown when he will be home, obviously. The longest deployment his ship has ever made was 277 days. ARGH I'm certainly hoping that this is resolved to a better state of affairs long before they reach or beat that record!
I've been reading everything I can get my hands on for the last couple of days concerning what's going on where he is at (not heading to any longer. He's there.) and his ship. Then, I realized that that was just making me more stressed out. So, I will check every few days. I do get google alerts so I can read headlines which is all I need unless something big occurs.
Yes, today's distraction is my annual physical. WHEE! I'm overdue because of the timing of my periods, which are terribly irregular as they always have been, and dh's surgery. Besides that, dh and I have been biting each other's heads off. That's a distraction in and of itself. I think that one or both of us needs a little less stress to deal with. I'd suggest going to a movie with him except (1) he hates movies for the most part and (2) he doesn't want to go out right now with his current incontinence problems. Maybe I'll get dd to take go with me. I have no car. Taking transit is a problem due to the amount of walking involved and my asthma being flared up right now. I think that *maybe* it's due to emotional reasons. (sarcasm)
Today's whining is completed... for now. TY for listening!
Oh Steph I bet you are feeling way over whelmed,with good reason.

His ship is out of lock down. I was his second phone call. He makes one phone call every other day when they have something in the air, over the ship, to scramble communications. It was so GOOD to hear from him!
They are, temporarily anyway, not where they were which gives me a moment to catch my breath. :)
Thanks everyone for your support!!
