Tempers are flaring!

We had our redeployment brief/Suicide Awareness at the chapel today, and god knows some of us needed it! It talks about the transition going home, and how long it SHOULD take to get back in the groove, and how to coincide with the wife and kids. Also, signs of depression, and things like that! I mean, for me personally life will be A LOT different than when I left. My wife no longer works as our homes breadwinner, and I WILL! That is probably a bigger adjustment for me, as Missy is pretty much acclimated to being home now, albeit without me being there. So, that means less food eaten, less laundry to do, and less farting in the house!
I won't say that it will be easier for us because we are a good communicating couple, but I think that will help us a lot. Also, neither one of us is really controlling of how we want to do things, which is good anyways when were home, but I think will help! I KNOW she wants me there to give the kids a little discipline once in awhile, and believe me, I want to give it!
As I tell my wife, and she could probably care less that I think this, but I will miss the ability to go outside without having to put a jacket on, and go excercise any time of the day! The ability to run around these beautiful lakes and buildings has been awesome, and even when I don't feel up to running, it is a getaway from the personalities the grind!
So, as far as the tempers go, some people around here have HAD IT SERIOUSLY with some others, and there is rank and stuff, but in this type of close knit environment those with short tempers don't take much to explode! Plus, we are SO close to leaving yet time goes so slow some days, it makes it harder!
I took this pic after I ran this morning because I LOVE the fact that it is Nov. 20th and I can go out and exercise and sweat my ass off! I LOVE IT!
But when I get home, ask my wife, I will run on the treadmill watching the TV, and wear a sweatshirt! By the way, the treadmill was one of the best purchases we ever made. A good one though, I think we have put thousands of miles on that thing!
Well, have a great Saturday, and GO GOPHERS over the Iowa Hawkeyes for Floyd of Rosedale!
Later,
Erik
