Hubby phoned at oh-dark-thirty to let me know he'd arrived safely in the sandbox. Of course, in my deployment-induced insomniac state, I'd been up til 4 in the morning and had finally fallen into bed without the cell phone, so I missed the call. Still kicking myself for that one, since I probably won't hear from him now for another week. Stupid time zones.
I hear ya :( I've gotten so paranoid about ALWAYS having my cell phone with me in case he gets a chance to call. I don't know where in the sandbox yours is, but I've found that mine will call me as soon as he gets up or just before bed, so I knwo to be ready for calls at 2pm and 9pm Eastern.
Does he have email access? That's how we've been doing most of our contact. It's not like hearing his voice, but at least I know he's still okay.
It's nice to know that I'm not the ONLY one with deployment-induced insomnia! I could never speep on the nights he had a night jump either.
Hang in there. I'm told it does get easier (I keep waiting for that to happen, I'll let you know when it does!).
Congrats on the WWW6 contrib. piece too! I'd love to get paid for my writing...but I'd have to actually WRITE somethign first I suppose! ;)
