Just because I am smiling doesn't mean I'm happy

Today didn't go all that well. I don't seem to have any energy or patience. Days like this make me curse the navy for having deployments. Usually I would throw the kids at their dad and go run off somewhere, but that is not possible today. While I am proud of my husband and what he does, that doesn't mean I am always happy about it. Especially on days like today. More and more I find myself talking and acting like my mother. Not that it is a bad thing, she is great, but I just never thought I would say the things she says. But you live what you learn.
