In a funk

by Toni Kemp

I’m in a funk. I have been in a funk for a couple of weeks now. I know exactly why I am in a funk. The Hubs will leave very soon for the big sandbox. Yes, I know we will be fine financially. Yes, I know that I have great friends, who are there for me. Yes, I know how to ask for help if I am overwhelmed. Still, it sucks.

Like all military spouses my middle name is “flexible” and we do the best we can with what we have. We are stronger than we think. We have to be. There is no other choice. Deployments are just part of the military life.

Thanks for listening.

    I know how you feel (not that my husband is leaving) but when he was deployed, no other way to say it other than it SUCKS!

    Yep…deployments suck,….teenagers while the hubby is deployed sucks..

    dropping a 5 pound bag of flour on the kitchen floor sucks more..

    Must go clean now.

    that is definitely a bummer. my BIL was deployed for a year and a half and I just can’t even imagine how long those months must have been for my SIL.

    That totally sucks. Seriously, you have a right to complain.

    Thinking of you.

    :) I remember my Dad being gone and how much it sucked for me…I can only imagine how my Mom felt - especially during the Persian Gulf War - we were all a mess. I’ll be thinking of you and praying for you and always here to listen ((HUGS))

    I can’t say I know what you are going through, but just know I will be here to help and or listen. I’m only a phone call (and about an hour) away!

    you have every right in the world to complain, big sandbox or not. Don’t worry, I for one won’t allow my feathers to be ruffled.

    Complain all you want to us. I can’t even imagine what it’s like to be in your position right now. It sucks more than words can say.

    I can’t say that I know how you feel because I don’t right now but I will be willing to listen if you need to vent.

    I will have to deal with deployment sooner than I want to … at least my son won’t be deployed until after November. He has to finish boot camp first. I look for him to go then…

    I do know. Big time suckollah. Keep your thoughts on how great it is going to be when he returns. I absolutely know that you will be strong but also human. It hurts. I used to break into tears whenever I saw a yellow ribbon. So don’t suck up too much. Let a little bit out. I am sending you strength and comfort through my incredibly brilliant mind.

    When times are bad - I read this to myself.

    A PRECIOUS HUMAN LIFE
    “Every day, think as you wake up, today i am fortunate to have woken up,I am alive, I have a precious human life,I am not going to waste it.I am going to use all my energies to develop myself.To expand my heart out to others:to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings.I am going to have kind thoughts towards others.I am not going to get angry,or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as i can.”

    His Holiness The Dalai Lama

    I truly hope your husband stays safe for you and your family. Best of luck.
