Good way to keep yourself sane. Stay strong, my wife and I went through this same thing it what seemed like years ago, and I blogged about it as well. Good way to keep yourself sane.

At lunch with friends. While I was sitting in my extremely small cubicle where everyone could hear everything I was saying. While I was out having drinks with the girls in the evening. It's a wierd situation to be in. Because everything that I was told was "stay strong for you soldier ... he doesn't need to be worrying about you" so thats what I always did. (or TRIED to do.) I always got the same response. He wanted me to be more of myself. But when I did break down in tears because I missed the crap out of him, he would feel bad because he couldn't be here to console me. I don't really have any advice other than yeah ... its rough. But, it WILL get easier. Its tough at first. So, hang in there. You're doing a good job :) And just remember, you're not alone :) And ... those girls are stupid. Seriously. We're not in high school anymore. ALSO -- in regards to your last comment. Pets are the best, and make everything easier. They always seem to know when to comfort you when you most need it. I'm glad you have your boxer there to keep you company :) B. I can’t remember how many times Marshall called me during those “awkward” moments. At lunch with friends.

I still get all giddy when DH calls me. This is our second deployment and we've been married for almost 8 years. And it's okay to get a bit emotional, even if it is in front of co-workers. Of course, they don't want to hear you wail and complain, but emotion is okay. As for those 'mean girls' -- you are better off without them and I'm sure you will find someone else in the class that you will 'bond' with. Us Army Wives need to stick together -- so if you need to chat, let me know. Take care, Household 6 Hooah The best feeling is when your husband calls! I still get all giddy when DH calls me.
