Training- HATE it already!!

[AndTA]

All right, so my df left on Tuesday for training...we expect he will be gone for 6-8 weeks and already I feel miserable. I miss him and I am bored and it feels like he has been gone forever. We have been away from each other at the most for 2 weeks, and while that was difficult, this seems much harder, probably because I know he won't be back any time soon.

I really did not think that I would feel this crummy so soon and hope that it gets easier but don't think it will. I just am lonely and miss talking to him and being next to him, and I know my daughter does too. She keeps asking when he will be home and although I have tried to explain to her and show her how long it will be she does not get it (she is only three). I am trying to keep myself busy but honestly can't think of a hell of a lot to do....I mean, I have some good friends/family to hang out with but it just is not the same.

I hate this, I want this weekend to be over and next weekend and the next because then it will be closer to him coming home. It seems pretty bad that I am wishing my days to go faster just so they can be over and I can be closer to my df coming home, and the reality of it is that even once he is done with training, he will be gone so much more than what we have been used to. (He was on reserve before, based in our town and hardly ever getting called to fly- hopefully that changes with the new job, so he can get the hours). Ugh- just needed to vent. Feeling very lonely and down right now. Thanks for listening...
