Well, right now I just need to vent and just let it all out. I know I have friends that I can talk too, but I just hate interfering with anyones lives just because I have to talk to them. It's silly and I know this they are great friends, but this is just me.

I really hate were I am working at right now, it is just making matters worse for my side of the situation. I could just quite, but I'm not that type of worker in the first place and I would feel horrible about it in the first place. Anyways, I hate my job as of right now, for many different reasons, 1. I hurt my back at work a few weeks ago I told my manager on duty, she didn't tell me anything to do as far as reporting it on the job, so I went to the hospital and such for it just a few weeks later (last week) and I got a doctor's note excusing me from any struss work. NOW I feel like I'm hated/disliked around my main coworkers during the dayshift because I can't do the most hated part of the job. So I feel gulity for noting beable to do this. If you want to know I work at Auntie Anne's, the pretzel shop in most malls around the country, the rolling of the pretzels for my dayshift is the rolling of the pretzels.

To top that off I am trying to find another job, I'm worried about our finances, and of course I'm worried about Aaron being overseas. I know that he is fine, I talk to him daily, but still without him helping me out with finaces, daily house chores, lawn work etc. it just adds to the pile of stress, as well as trying to stay on a healthy diet. So to add to all that I feel like my emotions are spirling downhill.

Like I said now I just need to vent it all out. I hope to get to talk to a friend sometime soon, but like I said I hate to interfere on anyone.

Awhhhhhh..........I feel for you and know exactly what you are going through! My husband is in the Army and is getting ready to deploy within the next month and a half (for 18 months they think) to Iraq. To top that off we have lived at our new duty station for 9 months and I do not like it here! I have worked for my company for 8 months and thought by starting a new position with them recently would help my situation. It hasn't! I have barely any friends and no family here. We really don't get too much help with the military here either. Of course they have their family readiness group. etc. When he was stationed in Korea for one year......it was so different. I was at home with friends, family, and a job I could tolerate! So, I question now how will I get through the next year to 18 months alone? I know as military spouses we are suppose to put on the tough, unemotional hat and go on with our lives, but honestly, it's not as easy as it sounds! If you need someone to talk with send me a message! I would love someone to chat with, e-mail, etc.!

I just wanted to let you all know that you and your soldiers/sailors/marines/airmen are in my thoughts and prayers daily. My husband is in the Army and is currently deployed (first for us) so I can understand where you are coming from. I spend a lot of time on another forum as well for military spouses and it helps to know so many others in the same situation. If any of you need to vent or someone to talk to, I am just a PM away. God bless!

to all the dependants: you are in my heart and in my thoughts. May you be blessed, may you be comforted and may your loved one be home soon.

I salute all the dependants for your courage, strength and support that you give to your deployed loved one. :thumbsup: (closest thing I can find for a saluting smiley)

Norm, a veteran.
