Anytime our hubby is away from home stinks & you have every right to be sad about it! (I'm glad he gets to come home on the weekends, though!)
This is so funny to me. We, as military spouses, always say, "Oh, I shouldn't complain because it could be worse" or "I can't complain because others have it worse", etc. Of course you can complain!
Oh, believe me, I complain to DH. lol
I just feel guilty griping about it though when I know I am lucky to at least get to see him on weekends and talk to him every night. The weekends go by way too fast. It is always very sad when he leaves to go back.
What part of NC are you in?
Oh, I hear ya! I do the same thing. I always feel like it could be worse, so I tend to feel guilty when I complain, but I have to remind myself that just because it COULD be worse doesn't mean it's easy!
Anyway, we're at Bragg. We really like NC so we're hoping we'll get to stay here a while. Where are you located?
Well, in no time dh will be home and I GUESS that's why I'm being TESTED! The garage fills with water this weekend....I told myself it's because it rained at night, I know it hadn't. My dad came over and said, your garage is leaking, I told him it's b/c it rained last night, that's when he asked me if I had seen any evidence of rain. We both knew it hadn't rained. I hadn't but I've had a thing with water lately and I was in denial. I told him that I needed a couple of hours to deal with that b/c I wasn't ready to deal with the fact that it hadn't rained but my garage was filled with puddles.
The car had to go into the shop and the lady calls and tells me that the mechanic said that he hears that there is something going on in the car but he doesn't know what.....um, well, that makes the two of us, but one of us is a mechanic. They told me that don't know what it is and tell me I might want to take it somewhere else. Silly me, I thought a mechanic might know what it was. This is the BASE service station. Okaaayyy......this of course, follows on the tail of the leaking of the a/c unit upstairs. I wake up on mother's day to dd asking me if the ceiling is supposed to be leaking like that.....
I just kept praying to myself all day, Thank you Lord for our Health and Safety. Thank you for a beautiful dry house and a good engine on the car. And Thank you Lord that dh is going to be home soon!
At times I don't know whether I want to laugh or cry, so I ended up laughing hysterically. It's either that or go crazy. Dh told me to hold on, he'd be home soon....I told him unless it's tomorrow, 3 months with a leak is not soon....
