A rough week
4

This hasn't been the best week or so for me. As far as diet goes, I'm doing fine. However, my son and I have had horrible viruses since Friday. I'm also taking an online course that is eating my lunch! While working on that today, my husband called and said they are sending him to Iraq immediately. There is one issue that could stop him from going dealing with our rotation date - I'm praying for this - but it looks pretty likely. Joshua and I will stay here until he returns just in time for us to move. I'm scared to death. Things are just so bad there now and I just pray to God that he makes it back. I have some friends here, but no family on this side of the world, so I'm basically on my own. I know I have the strength to do it, I just don't want to.

I know how you feel. My ex-husband went on 2 deployments over there since 2000, and my uncle on 4 since 2001. You can't help but to worry. Just have faith that he'll return, and pray. That's all the advice that I can offer you. Consume yourself with activities so that the time passes by a little quicker.

That is a lot to deal with in itself, not to mention you are moving, have been sick and all. Good luck to you! I know this has got to be a stressful time for you, and I hope you find the strength to deal with it all. I too am taking online courses this term and I know that is stressful enough. I will be thinking of you. HOpefully something will change and your husband can stay right here with you.

I am sorry you have to go through this. Try to keep yourself busy and maybe time will pass faster. And we're more than ready here to offer any moral support we can. You're in my prayers.

Ahhhh Laura....I am so sorry that he has to go...I know it is scary...I will pray for your family and your husband while he is over there.

My DS best friend just came back from a year there....he will have to go back in another year. I prayed hard for him and I had a lot of churches paying for him also...do that...have lots of churches praying for you and your family.
