My Army Wife Life

Sick and What’s to Come.

Sunday morning, I woke up feeling like I had been hit by a truck. It sucks. I HATE being sick. But this winter has been seriously brutal on me, and I have been sick more than once. Which is unusual because I usually avoid the colds and such.

So I’ve been sort of out of it. I’ve been out of it lately in general, thanks to way too much going on in my head, but this cold is kicking my butt, and making me foggy. More than anything, I am stuffy. And I can’t breath. And I want somebody to take care of me, but alas, I am alone.

We only have a couple of weeks left before the hubs is done with this particular school. He’s also coming home on Friday night for the weekend. He’s missing home [and the dogs] pretty bad, and I think we are both looking forward to a weekend of just laying low. Chillin’ in our sweats, fires in the fire place, home cooked meals and movies on the tv. It will be bliss.

The husband has been offered a new job within the brigade, as well. It would be an excellent choice for him, career-wise, but unfortunately, it requires a change in MOS. Which means six more weeks gone, back at AIT. I hope he takes it, because like I said, it would be good for him, but I don’t want him to leave again. I want him home with me. Things have been going so well for us since he got home. This reintegration has been so different [and better] than last time. Don’t get me wrong — we have DEFINITELY  hit our bumps, and like most couples, we’re not perfect which means we have a few things that we need to work on together. And we’re trying. And like I said, while we’re doing really well for the most part, we can’t work on the stuff we need to work on while he’s gone.

And that part sucks. The constantly being away thing.

But whatever. It is what it is. And I’m whiny and clingy because I’m sick. And he’s currently in the field which means I can’t talk to him, at all. Bad combo. I’m done whining now. Promise.

I hope you kick this nastiness before the weekend! Lounging in front of a roaring fire sounds heavenly.
