Post R&R
R&R in Hawaii was absolutely amazing. When I recover from the jet lag and little to no sleep for about 28 hours, I'll post a proper update, photos, etc. For now, this is just venting. Feel free to ignore. :anxious
I wouldn't trade the time we had but holy hell is this coming home without him hard (though I'm glad he didn't come here and have to leave from home). It feels like R&R was just one big tease. I walked into the house yesterday and it seriously felt like someone else's house. I even slept on the couch and I haven't done that in ... well, I think I've done it once the whole deployment. I feel so out of sorts right now it's unreal. I have this urge to tear the house apart and do a deep clean but am so tired, I just don't have the energy. I don't know what else to do to fix this overwhelming kicked-in-the-stomach feeling, though. I need to put my big girl panties on and get back into the deployment mindset but I'll be damned if I can find them. Maybe they're packed in my suitcase still sitting in the foyer.

Ugh!! Reading this made my stomach feel funny. I know that feeling you are talking about so well. I thought we'd avoid it this time b/c my husband didn't take R&R. Unfortunately, I had to go to some meeting when a TON of other wives husbands were either coming home that week, were home that minute, or had just left. It was HARD listening to all that & I realized I felt pretty out of sorts after just talking about it! :gaah:
I'll be thinking about you! I'm glad you had a good time, though!
