Have I ever mentioned how much I hate countdowns?
Confession… I HATE countdowns. They are the worst until you are in single digits. I mean, good grief I will be in TRIPLE digits until the END of April. I mean seriously, he will be home for R&R when we hit single digits. Yep, that will be 9 months since he deployed. My whole life right now is counting something. Math with Diva, hours at work, paying credit cards… in addition to his deployment calendar. It’s just a frustrating yet necessary evil.
I want something else… Diva counts down with Hershey Kisses, what about me? Can I countdown and buy myself a new pair of sexy underwear for each week? New pair of shoes? This Princess needs to come up with something! I need something to make the countdown a little more tolerable because at this point I don’t want to count anymore. I want Big Daddy arms wrapped around me, telling me that the dog is barking and that he hates the cat. I want to hear snoring, then SHEER Big Daddy annoyance when I have to get him out of bed an hour and 26.7 snooze button hits later. This countdown to end of deployment is crap… I am starting to wonder if the 2011 calendar includes our R&R month or even next summer at all!
Wow… I am crappy today! Nope, not crabby but crappy. I can totally appreciate the difference. I am tired and moody, maybe BD is glad he isn’t home today. Haha.

I hate countdowns too! My husband is getting ready to deploy and instead of counting down, I think I'm going to count up and make a paper link chain of reasons I love him/miss him/funny things that happened that day. I also think part of it is me too lazy to count out the days first. Count ups are better I think... you don't know how big a number until they're home.
Love the kisses idea!
Ok... this is a great idea! I may have to borrow it.
