What do I say
You know I really appreciate the comments you guys have left. They are really nice. This kind of leads into my post. I don’t really know what I am suppose to say when people say thank you to me for my hubby being overseas. I always feel really awkward about because really I don’t deserve the thank you, I didn’t do anything. I go about my day as usual; get up take care of my kids, go to class, go to work, come home, take care of my kids, and go to bed. I genuinely appreciate the concern, I just feel weird saying thank you because than I feel like I am taking the credit away from the troops. The funny thing is I’m not really sure if my husband knows what to say either. of course he always says thank you, but he always has a funny little chuckle along with it. like I said I don’t want to sound ungrateful, because it’s only out of care and concern and true appreciation that people say thank you, but really what do you think i should say back?

I’ve heard a lot of army wives say the same thing you are, but I think you deserve the thanks anyway. My mom was an army wife for 22 years until my dad retired a couple years ago. It’s not an easy life to lead, and I respect her and other like her greatly. You may not be in Iraq yourself, but you still make sacrifices.
