Change of Tides

It is interesting that life is so much like the ocean. There is an ebb and flow that is rhythmic, after the bad comes amazing good and so on. I would guess that this is one of those times that I am ebbing towards the bad. This is okay because I know that there will be amazing good that comes afterwards, I just have to wait.

With my hubby getting ready to deploy and my oldest starting school, life is definitely in a flux. We are having to cope with the one car family thing, which is frustrating to say the least. Even worse, tensions are high as we try to cope with the coming estrangement and the changes that will come with it. I am wanting every moment to be spent with the kids so that they have as many memories as possible to sustain them. I think he wants this, too, it's just a little harder to come at when you are the one leaving and you constantly are in front of those you will miss the most. I have to know that no matter what, the coming year will pass and we will be back together as a family. In the meantime, I better get ready to ride that wave.
