Here I go again.....
The mean bug bit me tonight and I need to get this off my chest...
I am so SICK of talking to my husband, the father of my children, my best friend, and so on and so on..... solely through email!!!
Yes yes....I should be thankful the days of letters in the mail that take weeks and even months to get back and forth are gone but come on!!! You cant tell me that the US Navy doesn't have better communication than a handful of computers on a ship that houses 5,000 sailors. Yes, there are phones but they are expensive and the reception is terrible and by the end of the conversation I am just ticked off cause I can hardly hear what he said. I cant write everything I want to say in an email. It almost a burden to sit down and type for 30 minutes telling about the day. Don't get me wrong....I love to write him. I'm just sick of not being able to talk to him.
Last year when Paul was gone, they saw about 8 countries so he could call when he was on land with good reception. This year....they are just sitting in the Persian Gulf.
I shouldn't complain. I know. He is the one stuck on a floating brick. I can kiss my kids and get in the car and drive, and do whatever I'd like. I just cant wait until this is all over and I can blab all of this to him in 2 minutes rather than typing you.
Alright then. Good night.

aw Jaesi, I don't really know what to say besides that really sucks and I know that doesn't help. All I can say is you are a far braver and stronger women then I will ever be!
That totally bites Jaes!! Only four months left, right? :)
You are such a trooper. Yes, you do have a right to complain. It would suck to only be able to communicate with your husband through email. Hang in there.
Oooh, I would be so bugged too! You are such a trooper! And an incredible Mommy!!
Jaesi - I am really at a loss of words for you. I can't even imagine what is would be like to have a husband gone. I totally feel for you and Megan. I seriously get irriated when my husband is gone. The longest we have been apart is two nights and it sucked. I know, you must feel for me! All I have to say is you are an amazingly strong woman and anytime you need to vent about Paul being gone I am here to listen!
EWh! I hate everything about my husband being gone!! I hope he gets to call...i dont really know what to expect anymore though. only 9 more months...hopefully!
You have every right to complain! I can't imagine having to be in your shoes right now. I have no words that can fix the problem but know that all of us wish the best for you family and a very quick return!
And seriously, they need to get more working phones for you guys! It's 2007.. I mean really!
Jaesi, I am so sorry!
Jaesi,
Life is harder when the hubby is away - especially when you need a break from the kids & have adult talk (thank goodness for bloggin')! It's also great to catch up with old pals that you haven't talked to in years!!!! What's up girl? Virginia, eh? That's cool. I live in Arizona now. Check us out http://ipsonclan.blogspot.com Your two kiddies are adorable!
Hear hear, Jaesi! I totally know what you mean. Emailing is better than nothing but it doesn't cut it a lot of the time. It just plain sucks. Don't feel bad about complaining - you've earned the right.
