For me, I think part of it has to do with the fact that most of my friends have no idea what life is like as the wife of an LEO and since they simply can't relate, I just act like everything is fine and dandy when they do ask. I don't feel like trying to explain how hard it is to never know WHEN my hubby will get home, how hard it is to never have a consistent schedule (he is on a rotation schedule of days and nights), how hard it is to go for days without really seeing or talking to him, etc. So instead I just act like everything is perfect and I'm handling it all very well. But then I have those days where I lose it. I'm thankful to have a God who is always there for me and who listens to me. :)<br /><br />Is your hubby still in FTO? I really think life gets a LOT better once they are on their own. At least for us it has been. There isn't the stress of FTO and my hubby can now have his cell phone and I can text him so that helps (although it may be hours before he reads it...but it does help!).

I found your blog from A Cop's Wife blog. ...Hi. I found your blog from A Cop's Wife blog. I'm a dispatcher, and I can totally relate to the crazy hours. I work mainly evenings and a midnights, and I'm married and have two young girls. My schedule stresses my husband, but I do everything I can to be there for every one of my girls activities. Sometimes I don't even know what day it is. My husband and I are on such opposite schedules, so we're never together. I actually had someone the other day ask me if I am still married. I'd love to have more people who can relate, so I also added a link to your site on my blog.

I ...Pshhh.....I can't BELIEVE you got a ticket! I thought professional courtesy dictates that you don't give fellow officers or their wives tickets? I mean, it's not as if you were driving recklessly! Oh well. I'm sure it will happen to me eventually, with the wat I drive. :-)<br /><br />It's awesome that your officer went out of his way to demonstrate how much he loves you with banana splits. One day when the emotional rollercoaster is getting the best of you, you'll have that experience to look back on and encourage you.
