Missed Calls

I broke two of the most important deployment rules.  I turned off the ringer on the home phone, and I kept my cell phone buried in the diaper bag.  I missed three calls yesterday from Joel.  So, for the last 18-hours, I've been checking my email constantly and walking around the house with the phone right next to me, just in case.

I've done this before, and it still feels awful.  I always get an extreme amount of guilt when I miss his calls.  But three calls equates to triple the guilt.  I've emailed him apologizing a few times.

I have no idea when he'll get to the phone next or when he'll have access to a computer.  So, right now, I'm just sitting here feeling really guilty.

17 Days

It's been 17 days since I've seen his face and heard his voice.  We've only been able to Facebook back and forth so far.  Joel just messaged me and said he thought he'd be able to call tonight.  I'm so excited - it'll nice to be able to hear his voice again and I know Grace will love being able to talk to Daddy.
