Girls night out

Went out tonight with Jolene, Jill and Brenda. Needed it big time and it was fun. Just Applebees and shopping but it was without the kids and after a few drinks so it was nice. Everyone I know is just stretched so thin with all the guys gone, and looking to the future deployment (again) Its hard for everyone, its like being single parents while you are still married and its just a really odd feeling. I know for me its like Dave just came home from the last tour, and to already have to think about the next one.... its just too much sometimes. Its harder on him I know. He hates leaving us, and hates to think of all the growing up Matt does while he's off in some far away land doing what he needs to. Its starting to take its toll on all of us and all our friends. I am thankful though that the friends I have are so understanding and in the same boat so we can all lean on each other.
