Stop loss...

Ive been watching the previews...

Im debating about seeing it...and afraid it is some leftist propaganda.NOT ALL soldiers are selfish enough to only see this war about THEMSELVES.My husband sees this as righting a wrong that must be done,and helping to build another country.

So i dont know if I'll go see it.

Im expecting it to paint the military as horrible...well,the first thing I was taught is the branch comes first then the family.That is just how it is.And if you dont like it then dont get married.Wars dont wait til after bday parties,and neither do IEDs.The Reaper doesnt take only the pretty and smart people...or the fat and ugly.There is no discrimination.

And I hate when I hear other wives say...I didn't know what I was possibly getting into.That's bs! I read many books before I signed the marriage certificate.I talked to an Army wife friend of mine whose husband was injured in Iraq,and is recovering stateside through Walter Reed.I know the possibilities before...I made sure to not blindly go into this.Sure a book cant prepare you for everything but there are so many organizations out there to help you,and other wives to lend a hand.

Enough about that,Im waiting on an email...

I did go to an IA meeting about relationships tonight at FFSC...that was nice.

Im glad our support center is close knit on the IA families.We're working with a normal deployment schedule of the ship but at any moment my husband could deploy as IA.So I do the normal FRG meetings along with the IA meetings.

Gah having a foot in two worlds...can be crazy!

Exciting life I lead....

Something they should always put in the "Married to the Military" manual in upper case should be...

You do everything.

He brings home the paycheck,helps further his family's bloodline,and saves the world...

But you...and only you...makes sure the bills are paid,the car has had its oil change,the dog doesnt die of starvation,and you find time to get a haircut.

I commented to my Dad this weekend it was like having a roomie who you had all his crap lying around even when he wasnt here,and at least when he came home it is an extra hand for laundry...

Obviously,I love having my husband home...

But sometimes the "doing everything" gets to me.

Tomorrow I have to straighten out all this junk with my bank and overdrafts.I found out a well known workout facility never processed my paperwork to discontinue my membership once I moved to Virginia Beach.So low and behold,we have no money in my personal account...they withdraw the monthly fee that should've never happened in the first place,and I get an overdraft fee.I found my paperwork proving I did in fact cancel my membership.BAM! Take that!

There is some mysterious charge also that I havent figure out.

The dog needs her nails clipped along with a million other things we havent had the time for.

The car needs the oil changed...BADLY.

The truck needs to be taken in.

I need to file taxes.....I can do it on the cheap,on base for free.

The list continues...

I should clothes hunt for work.

I think I will see Miss Pettigrew Lives for the Day tomorrow possibly.

Gah.

Im still counting down the days til the husband comes home and it isn't an email based relatonship.As fun as that is :P

Worth the time...

Watch the video...

And you donate money to Operation Homefront!

Yay!

It's a Dog but like a Kid I swear....

Well today was uneventful...

our dog threw up at 6am.

Im laying in bed and I hear that all familiar gurgle,and I feel the comforter in the dark...

I still dont know what the neon mess on the bed was.

But there I was in my pjs at my in laws spot washing the damn thing.

If only the husband knew what he is missing out on!

Sometimes when he comes back I just want to shove the dog duties on him.Sometimes I do...saying something like 'hey when you're saving the world Im getting up at 7am with her...'

I never get to sleep in anymore.

I swear this is our practice run for kids.

So far...I finally told her to shut up last week.

Sign No.9840394203948 I should not have kids and remain the very odd military wife out by not having them.

Tomorrow is back to work...
