Good News and Bad News

The good news.................Mr. Medic's R&R was moved to April.

The bad news...................Mr. Medic's R&R was moved to April.

I'm super excited that hubby will be home sooner than initaily planned... November seemed so far away. Except now after April I have nothing to look forward to til deployments done.

Not to mention it screws up the getting knocked up plans.

He was originally taking R&R in November. I had it all set in my head that I was going to be here by myself for a year.. I had gotten used to that idea. Once Novemeber rolled around.. he'd be home for good, not soon after that.

April won't even be the half way mark ,it's barely 4 months. It seems like he just left and now he'll be back already. I've got to readjust to the fact that he's gonna be gone basically a whole year all over again. That makes me sad. It was hard enough for him to leave the first time.

I explained all this to him.. and he totally understands where I'm coming from with it(After he thought it was cause I didn't want to see him... silly) He explained to me that there's so many guys and so many slots and only so much time.

I get it, I really do.. but it just sux. It's kinda just like a big fat tease.. "Hi honey I'm home... but now I'm gonna be gone longer than planned" Am I wrong to think it's unfair?

All that being said... I can't wait to see him. I need a hug =o)

Leave it to the military to jumble up a good plan right? : )

*sigh* This can be so hard. Most of the guys I know say that their month of R&R is almost dreaded because then it's doubly hard when they have to go back. I know I've felt that way too. But try to enjoy him while he's home!

That is hard. I can see how I'd prefer November, too. BUT - April is close, and how exciting to start planning for that!
