Down day again

Today was another day to add to the list of down days in this deployment. I am not sure as to why I am so down today. I still haven't heard from my hubby, but I know that it will happen sometime this week. He is at 3 weeks out of contact so anytime now he will get ahold of me. I really need to hear his voice. Last deployment with the deuce he had time to call and write me this time is so different. I am stronger this deployment but these month long silence periods are really driving me batty. The day was actually pretty nice there was plenty of sun until the afternoon rain that was predicted. Even after the rain it turned out sunny and warm so overall a good day. Two of my kids are playing outside right now. All I want to do for the most part is stay in the house away from everyone else.
