Half done, with some stress....

At least he isn't stressed, heck, he's hanging out with a pretty girl....

You know this deployment is really starting to suck! 

For some strange reason I feel like I'm doing it all, and people give me excuses for not helping, but are more than happy to reap the benifits of all my hard work... 

SO I plan on doing just what my husband and besti (Allie) suggested, literally just taking a step back and doing the bare minimal. 

I mean if others can do that and get away with it, why not me.... Need to stop being an over achiever and allowing the stress get to me. 

On the plus side, My husband is in a better location in Afghanistan, which means more regular calls and emails. And I love being able to talk/vent to him. He always knows just what to say.

Our son is starting to really get into a routine, but mostly spending his time hanging out with pretty girls ;)

He knows his daddy will be home soon. He still has his cry moments of "I miss daddy", but he doesn't cry as long... 

Life, it will be so bad ass when my husband gets home.

Our love song

This is our love song. He chose it and made me realize just how special this love is... 

I listen to it at least five days a week, helps me to stay strong and focused on us. 

To really love a woman, to understand her
You gotta know her deep inside
Hear every thought, see every dream
An' give her wings when she wants to fly
Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman
You tell her, that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
'Cuz she needs somebody
To tell her that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
Really, really ever loved a woman?
Yeah

To really love a woman, let her hold you
Til' you know how she needs to be touched
You've gotta breathe her, really taste her
Til' you can feel her in your blood
An' when you can see your unborn children in her eyes
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman
You tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
'Cuz she needs somebody
To tell her that you'll always be together
So tell me have you ever really
Really, really ever loved a woman?

Oh
You've got to give her some faith, hold her tight
A little tenderness, you gotta treat her right
She will be there for you, takin' good care of you
You really gotta love your woman, ya

And when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman
You tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
'Cuz she needs somebody
To tell her that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
Really, really ever loved a woman?
Yeah

Just tell me have you ever really
Really, really, ever loved a woman?
Oh
Just tell me have you ever really
Really, really, ever loved a woman?
