A tree fell on the deck the day my husband left on his first deployment. The A/C went out 50% of the other deployments. A tree smashed our driveway in another. (We were up in Dundee. Those trees were destined for destruction.) The dog escaped and sliced his paw on broken glass. Then there was the deployment just after we PCSed to England, with a 6 month old. Our household goods got lost and my son and I spent two months alone in a new country with no stuff! Snow storms, power outages, strained back, fleas, broken dryer, broken refrigerator... there have been a lot of deployments :)Lynn @wanderlynnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2277955561167497154.post-18287959994118353282014-03-20T22:52:53.867-04:002014-03-20T22:52:53.867-04:00Oh man!

I'm so glad it's almost over for you!<br /><br /><br />Also, bed buds were going around college campuses while i was in college and in our RA training we got a briefing on what to look for - I think I scratched for about an hour after that because I kept thinking about them!Callie Glorioso-Mayshttp://www.cglorioso.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2277955561167497154.post-54042958080722662782014-03-20T22:51:45.629-04:002014-03-20T22:51:45.629-04:00Bekah, I agree - resilience is for everyone!

I bought our house while my husband was still in Germany. As soon as he inprocessed here at Hood, he deployed. A few short weeks later, I found bed bugs in two bedrooms. Yup, they really do exist. Who knew? I tried to get rid of them on my own, thought I was doing a good job, and then found them in the other 2 bedrooms. While the exterminators came in and out, I moved out (literally, everything had to go in the garage) for 3 months, spent my time putting 10,000 miles on my car, splitting my time between my parents and inlaws. When I got the go ahead to move back in, I had to literally do 100 loads of laundry, if not more. Everything had to be washed on high heat and dried for an hour. My washer quit working on the first load and my dryer had always been terrible. So, I had to buy a new washer and dryer. Then, we had made plans to re-do our fence as soon as my husband got home. A wind storm knocked it down a week ago. Then, I found a lump on my deployment furbaby of 7 years, took him to the vet where he picked up kennel cough. <br /><br />He comes home in a couple of days, thank God!Amynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2277955561167497154.post-89248626864330902052014-03-18T21:34:45.209-04:002014-03-18T21:34:45.209-04:00This is awesome!

Really, everyone would benefit from learning how to promote resilience in themselves, their children, their family, and their community. I'm so glad that you are getting training in this. If you ever want to read more psychological research on this topic, just let me know- I have a whole folder of articles I'd be happy to share.Bekah Herethnoreply@blogger.com
