You know you're a deployment spouse when

1. Your one goal for the day is just to get out of the house.
2. You are constantly checking your phone's reception for bars.
3. Skype stays online 24/7 just in case your husband rings.
4. You find yourself on your knees in prayer more than you sit at your own dining table.
5. You just can't bring yourself to wash his pillow case on laundry day because his smell still lingers.
6. You have reorganized every shelf in your house moving every day things to a lower shelf within your reach instead of your giant husband's.
7. The memory of an argument about paint color choices makes you roll your eyes and laugh now instead of annoying you like it did before.
8. You think in Zulu time instead of local time.
9. You and your daughter have frequent daily conversations about what Daddy might be doing right now on the other side of the world.
10. Your  get excited at the thought of spouse get togethers with complete strangers because these are the only woman who know what you are going through right now- and because you crave an actual face-to-face adult conversation not involving any form of technology.

And since there are no pictures that really go along with this post, here's a few recent ones of my beautiful girl.
