There is no way around it. When the husband is gone, he bad days hit. Of course we will have good days too, but it's like there is some kind of cosmic law that states that when the husband is away, they bad stuff will come into play.
Every time my husband leaves, we usually have some kind of drama in my house. Someone ALWAYS gets hurt. One time my husband left for 5 days, and my son fell out of bed, hit his head on the side table, and ended up with a huge goose egg. Another time my husband was gone for a week, and my daughter closed my sons fingers in the van door. Another time, my daughter fell getting off the bus, and ended up with our first set of stitches for our family. When my husband was gone in May, my son and daughter switched beds without me knowing. My daughter then fell off that top bunk in the middle of the night (did I mention she never falls out of bed) and broke her writs (another first for our family). It never ends. This time, my daughter stepped on a nail :::sigh::::::. All of these of course involve a different child each time.
So, knowing that something will happen while the hubby is away, I have to wonder, how to prepare. Do you hold your breath and pray that this time nothing will happen, or do you prepare by staying in the mindset of something can and will happen, so we just have to take it in stride?
I am at the point that as long as it is something I can handle I am OK. If it is something that I can't, and it is going to cost me alot of money, I panic. I won't lie. I usually have a breakdown.
So, how do you handle deployment woes? Do you take it in stride, or freak out?
