I was usually crying so hard I couldn't see the screen when I got my emails from Russ. I would have never made it without the internet!! It was my life line!!

amen to that, though this change in sleeping pattern has made my insomnia worse lol I wouldn't change it though because I need to have that communication back and forth at least a little for peace of mind and just because I miss him so damn much. I can't imagine what wives/gf's etc went through when all they had was snail mail, I'd go insane!!! Only thing that sucks is they can't get e-cards, but I've found some places with good poems and stuff like that, also I create web pages, nothing fancy, just lame romantic stuff, but it's something that he can see. :-) ok I think it's time to get my sleepy butt to bed lol! ni ni all

Liz,

I kept the computer up as loud as it would go so the minute Russ emailed me I would hear it no matter what!!! I suffered from insomnia for almost 6 years before Russ and I were married. Once Russ came home and we began our new life...my insomnia was gone.

Funny how things like this happens.

Keep your chin up and soon it will all be memories!!

I just miss him so much, and when he's not on to email me back and forth I miss him even more if that is possible, like tonight :-( I've been trying to keep myself busy, but it still isn't easy. I had to sit in his car earlier to charge the phone since I can't find the house charger have to use the car one and I felt lost. Empty space inside and this is only a couple month deployment, I don't even want to think about it when the six month one comes up *sighs* After the bills get paid I'm hoping there's some money left over I want to get a needlepoint project or two - that will help also. Sorry for going on and on, just a tad lonely tonight :-( I should just go to bed.

Liz,

It gets better as the days go by. It really does. Yes, you do need to try and get some sleep. I do feel for you. I don't have to worry about Russ leaving again, but when I thought I did, it was hell!!!

You do need a hobby. Mine was gardening. It kept me busy.

You and Clive are in my prayers.

NOW GO TO BED!!! LOL

I started an online journal tonight.... livejournal.com my user name is Liz62803. I thought it would be good to just put down my thoughts and feelings, a means to rant and rave stuff like that. I have a knitting project that I forgot about, wonder where my mom put my knitting lol I need to learn to sew fast anyways lol - there's a calendar project for when the six month deployment occurs and I'm in charge of it DOH! wish I could find people interested in a quilting b - could do a quilt and then raffle it off or something.

And yes ma'am I am going to bed now lol just sent a ni ni email to Clive so I'm off to accost the sandman and make him hit me over the head with his sack of magic sleeping dust :-P

Liz,

Neat site. I found out later that if I would have kept a journal it would have helped me cope with Russ being gone. It would have also helped Russ understand exactly how stressful it was when he was gone!!

If I were you...I would be very careful about posting your picture on this forum...LOL There are a LOT OF PERVERTS HERE!!!! You would definitely draw them out!!!
And NO, I am perfectly straight...so no snid comments from any of you guys!!!

Night.

Christina
