Trial Run

The weekend is over and this is the last week of school for my little students, YEAH!! We have 3 days of class, a field trip to Holiday World and then graduation on Friday. I can't wait! This year has really left me exhausted. I would say it is because of the life change I had at home, but my assistant is feeling it as well. I think it is partially due to my life changing, but also due to the group we have this year. They are very tiring and we are still seeing behaviors that we thought we extinguished months ago! The joys of special needs children. Never a dull moment! Either way, I will be happy when this week is over. Of course, I will work another week after that to get the school cleaned up and organized for next year, but it won't be so hard with the children out of the building.

Jenna and I will have a little rougher week than we thought anyways because Kelly is on travel this week. He left this morning around 3 AM and will return Thursday night around midnight. Usually a week of travel doesn't bother me. It's kind of nice because I don't worry about cooking dinner, I can get some time to myself, things like that. But this time, I am thinking about him being gone for 4-6 weeks at a time which is what will happen in a few short months. I guess it kind of seems like a trial run.
Of course, we knew when we moved here that Kelly might be transferred from this area, but at the time we really didn't THINK about it. Now that we know it is imminent it has become a little scary. Don't get me wrong, I know I can handle being alone. Even with a little one. I was alone for such a long time as an adult it was actually harder being with Kelly at first. I just worry about he and I emotionally. We both keep thinking that in the end we will get such great benefits that all military get. We really SHOULD sacrifice more like typical military families. But no one really wants to sacrifice. Besides, it won't be Iraq or anything that scary. Virginia will be as safe as here really. I just know that I will miss him terribly. He is my best friend as well as my husband and talking on the phone just won't be the same as him coming home each night.
We will get through it though. We have agreed that we will still be a couple in the end, that we are totally adamant about. We will be a family on the other end of all this.
Okay, off to bedtime with the Bean. Have a great night everyone.
