I can see the light

The light at the end of my moody tunnel that is! I went to the dr yesterday and after we talked he gave me something to help with my insomnia. He says it will also help with the depression and anxiety problems. I took one last night and slept sooooo good! You just don't know! I slept about 8 hours and when i got up this morning, i was a little groggy, but i still woke up fairly easily. I felt like i needed about another 30 minutes or so. If i had taken it when i wanted to last night i would have slept plenty i'm sure. But my youngest little darling wasn't cooperating with me and bedtime. I've been in a pretty good mood so far today. Of course it's been a pretty stress free day so far. The kids will be home from school soon though and that will be a whole new ball game. So we'll just see how it goes. He says it won't be an immediate difference for the depression and anxiety, could take a week or so. But we'll see. I'll let ya know! Otherwise, i talked to Jay over the weekend. He's doing pretty well. Wants more packages. Feeling pretty lonely. So i'm sad about that for him. I miss him and wish neither of us had to be lonely. We still have several more months until R&R and most of his buddies are getting it already or really soon. So i guess it just him knowing what he is missing more and more as each day passes. But we also know what he's missing here because we are missing it too. The girls have had a tough time lately. Kaitlyn's had some issues in school. And she is missing daddy. She is having a hard time dealing with the emotions of everything. She doesn't want to talk to me about it because she doesn't want me to feel bad. But she doesn't know where else to turn. She is going to start talking to her school counselor. Keliah is doing ok as far as dealing with everything. She talks to me when she needs to. She sleeps with daddy's picture when she is missing him a whole lot. But she is figuring out how to cope with it all. I guess we all have our ways of handling everything that deployment and moving and all the other wonderful things that military life bring. So things really do seem to be looking up for us right now. I had a wonderful time yesterday. Went to lunch with some other wives from around here. It was so nice to sit and just chat over a nice lunch. Over the weekend the lady i babysit for watched my kids for me and i went out to dinner with a friend. That was really nice. I think all of these things have contributed to the improvement in my mood! I just pray it lasts a while this time!
