I simply state things how I see them and how I feel about them.<br /><br />I don't tear people down. I have already had several reply "Thank you" to the particular post you commented on.<br /><br />I never said there was anything wrong with worrying, nor did I say at times you shouldn't be concerned. I spoke from experience on why worrying does you no good.<br /><br />I never said worrying made you weak, nor have I insinuated that it does.<br /><br />I have stated that people handle things differently many times in my blog, and I remind you, My blog is about me, how I handle things, How I feel about things. It's not a support blog, it's MY blog. People do read it for support- It is only support for those who agree with how I am and how I say things. If there is someone who doesn't agree, It's no big deal for me, because writing is my outlook, my way of expressing myself.<br /><br />I haven't said to anyone to stop freaking out- but my friends and people I personally know, Yes.. I have told them to stop freaking out. I am that friend. I am the friend that tells it like it is. I am honest.<br /><br />I don't preach at anyone. You my "friend" are being very judgmental. My blog posts are about my thoughts - about me, how I see things. Never about anyone. If someone fits into something I say.. Well, I'm not going to change how I think just to accommodate a person who CHOOSES to read my blog.<br /><br />I am handling deployment just as I say it. It's not affecting me what so ever. All that says Is I handle deployment very different than you do. I Don't worry, I don't get upset when he CAN'T email or would rather catch up on some sleep than wait in line. I think about things before I get worried or "Freak out" because most of the time- there is no reason for it.<br /><br />Although we both may be Military wives, we are clearly not in the same boat because my emotions and how I take deployment are far different.<br /><br />Again, My blog is not an out reach to "Help" people. My blog is my writings. IF I help someone in something I say, That's Great! But If my posts don't relate to anyone, So be it.. It's my writings, and it's written for me. It's my public diary/ thoughts. Those who read Choose to read it and can Choose to follow and relate.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11780680370762382386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4085383763299362070.post-45570292932903613472011-02-23T13:48:44.244-05:002011-02-23T13:48:44.244-05:00Allison, Come to VA!

I find your blog very interesting to r...Christina,<br /><br />I find your blog very interesting to read. I find you very insightful at moments, but I find your frustrations with what seems to be the other spouses in your circle...I don't know...<br /><br />I don't know how long you have been in the military, and dealing with these things, but I can assume from your level of annoyance, it's probably a lot longer then I have. Only someone who has been around the track a couple of times could be as tired with things as you seem to be. <br /><br />I too have a Sailor that is operating in the same seas that your husband is, and I have been keeping my eyes on the situation as well. While I hold the same saying " no news is good news" as true as you do, that doesn't make my concern about my husband during times of silence any less potent. I do the best I can with dealing with those stresses, and try to stay as positive and up beat as I can through the situation.<br /><br />Honestly...I think your lack of patience with dealing with people who handle situations differently then you do a little callous. Just because you're a wife who shows her emotions to others, in whatever medium ( be it the internet or otherwise) does not make you weak. It just means you deal differently. And I would say that it's possible those wives, in particular, need to be built up from the other wives who can be so outwardly strong, rather then be told that they are weak and to stop 'freaking out'.<br /><br />Honestly...your post screams to me that you do not deal with things nearly as good as you preach for others to. I see some of these posts as a desperate attempt to hide a weakness you might recognize in yourself.<br /><br />I feel that our situation is this...all of us military wives deal with level of stress, worry, and fear over our spouses job. We are all in the same 'boat' per say, and perhaps to make it easier on all of us, we should try to help each other out, teach what we have learned to deal with with stress, and encourage other wives to learn ways of dealing too, instead of getting frustrated and lashing out at women who deal with it differently then you chose to. There are a few enough of us out there, that criticizing one another really doesn't have a place in the scheme of things, be cause really, we're ALL just trying to survive this lifestyle.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18244745647291884130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4085383763299362070.post-25409785919727226492011-02-23T03:22:29.385-05:002011-02-23T03:22:29.385-05:00I love your blogs!!! :) could not have said it bet...I love your blogs!!! :) could not have said it better myself...KUDOS! :)Mrs Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09720797409968192750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4085383763299362070.post-33029281455422025542011-02-22T23:23:01.214-05:002011-02-22T23:23:01.214-05:00I saw the story on the news about the pirates, bef...I saw the story on the news about the pirates, before they said the Enterprise was involved and I thought "oh wow I wonder if the Enterprise is in on this....whoa..that could be me in a few years"JennyTheBeatBoxerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06248469378502735564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4085383763299362070.post-9323303081290675062011-02-22T23:08:00.589-05:002011-02-22T23:08:00.589-05:00That is one thing I always told myself and I repea...That is one thing I always told myself and I repeat to my friends who face deployment.

I've read alot o your blog posts... I wish we could be friends in real life. you and I share the same mentality on deployments and communication. it's refreshing to see someone else who doesn't freak out at the thought of no email or extended deployments, but at the same time very obviously loves the husband!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14442933670374587785noreply@blogger.com
