Unfortunately my blog hiatus is over. Not because I don’t like blogging, but because Mike is officially deployed again. There is something about blogging about deployment when he is home that is just too overwhelming for me.

But don’t worry. We have 6 more long months of this. This time we face our 4^th deployment in a war zone and our 6^th deployment overall.

This deployment is very different from the last. He is in a remote area and doesn’t have access to the amenities he is use to like toilets, running water, television, a gym, hot food (unless you consider tray rations hot food) or a PX. In his words yesterday, “I crap in a bag, piss into a tube, don’t have running water to shower or shave with, but can get on Facebook almost anytime I want. War is Hell.”

The positive aspect of this is he does have Internet and access to a phone. So at least he can email and call from time to time. All we really want to know every day is that he is okay.

So here we go on the long winding path until he gets home again. I’m already day dreaming about the homecoming at three weeks in. God help me!
