I can't even remember what movie that title is quoted from. Master of Disguise? Some juvenile flick my teen boys forced me to watch, I'm sure.

We have been apart from Steve many times. One thing that has surprised all of us since his return from this deployment though, is how much we are all SLEEPING. And how tired and draggy we all still are with all that extra sleep!  I'm not sure why. For him, at least he has jetlag, and working 12 hours a day, nearly every day for the past 5 months as an excuse. For me, I'm not so sure. Being a 'single mom' to 4 kids is exhausting, I will admit. I have respect and sympathy for those single moms with no break in sight.

I think perhaps it is like  one major sigh of relief and finally relaxing. I'm not responsible for everything anymore, and can let go a bit. There is another responsible adult in the house again. We still have 'reintegration time' to go through yet, as the military calls it, and I'm sure there will be fits and starts as we all get adjusted to being with each other again. (I have to remind myself it's not just MY bathroom) In the meantime, we nap!
