It's midnight and all I can think about is that my husband is 7 1.2 hours ahead of me, over in Afghanistan. I'm lonely and I'm tired. And in the back of my mind is this worry that I keep trying to shove back there.
My two girls finally fell asleep. It seems to take hours now. They just play with their stuffed animals and giggle and constantly talk...even though I put them to bed hours ago and I have to go in there continuously and tell them to quiet down and go to bed. I went in there and my 3 year old had dragged her toddler bed over to be beside my 1 years olds crib. She says she needs to see her sister :) Moments like that make me smile...but then I remember they really need to go to bed!
I'm having a hard time filling my days with stuff to do. I need to stay busy so time will pass. But the harder I try to stay busy...the less busy I am! Arg!
Well I may try to get some sleep now :)
