well my husband has been deployed since oct. this is not his 1st deployment. 3rd trip to the middle east and also did a year in korea. for some reason this one seems harder on me and homeschooling just does not seem as exciting this year as it has been in the past. any tips on what works for you during deployment time. i think it also did not help that my hubby moved me near his family in the middle of nowhere and we are far away from military families/support. we really do not see his family as they are busy with their own lives.
