There is nothing you really can do. You are just going to have to find something to keep you preoccupied, because no matter what you do, it is not going to make the time come any faster. Just relax, and do something that you really like. You have gotten through this for 15 mos. You can get through 38 days. Congradulations for your husband coming home from Iraq.

Ugh. The last 15 days of deployment. I thought I would pull my hair out sometimes. Of course I belonged to our FRG so there were plenty of meetings and other activities I had to attend. I also volunteered to help set up the barracks for our single soldiers. As well as making signs and calling the single soldiers familys to let them know they were coming home w/ the company commanders wife. I guess what I'm saying is find out if they need any help getting ready for their arrival home.

Is he coming home for good, or just for a break? Either way you both will have lots to ketchup (catch up) on. Just don't think about it, until more the time comes, and it will be a lot of getting used to for the both of you. If you get soemthing else on your mind, until it gets closer to the date, then you should be fine. But the more you keep thinking about it, the more anxious you will get, and then there may not be any hope for you yet.

you waited 15 months.... but you can't wait 38 days?

Look at it from this point... 38 days are gonna pass by the same as usual and you can either get yourself all freaky, and anxious and feel like you can't be without him one more minute... or you can choose to just let it go... live life as usual, maybe plan something special for him...decorate your house for Christmas.... do early Christmas shopping so your days are not so bad (and long).

Is all about choices.
