Survivor's Guilt Or Something Like It

It's hard to explain what it really feels like to watch the news and know that the people that have been killed may be someone you know or even worse someone you love. I have had a few real good scares over this past year but something that always comes back to me is this overwhelming sense of... Sign in to see full entry.

Word Of The Day--What can you do with this?

Mine is safe

I was going to write about something else tonight but Reni's comment to my post from yesterday struck me in a way I can't ignore. While I worried about Carl, he was safe and cussing at the net. It seems a cable needed to be replaced and that was the sole cause of all my insanity. Unfortunately some... Sign in to see full entry.

Is This Over Yet??

So my day was going along just dandy while Carl and I were online. I was telling him the names of the two service members Michigan lost in the past few days (one of those odd things he wants to know) as I watched his name and the name of a couple of other soldiers at his post disappear at the same...

Soldiers Coming Home To No Job, No Unemployment And It's Legal

OK, this is one of those posts where you will find out just how much the Government in this country disgusts me. I generally stay off the politics because it tends to be primarily about the war adn well... this is as well but in a different way and I am mad as hell! I am planning to contact my...

My Father In Law

First, I am going to string Carl up by his toenails when he gets home for making me call his dad instead of him doing it himself. Mind you I ADORE my Father In Law...anyone smart enough to divorce my Mother In Law is OK in my book. Carl is the spitting image of his father and I see his eldest son... Sign in to see full entry.

And Once Again I Am Reminded

Tonight I turned on the TV to discover the program 3 Wishes was on. I am not one who usually enjoys the sappy happy Amy (I stole another woman's huband while I was still married) Grant but this one caught my attention and I was clued to the television. The 3/25 Marine Reserve unit was being welcomed... Sign in to see full entry.

Soldier's Wife Fired For Seeing Husband Off To Iraq Instead Of Working

I am FURIOUS! I can state for myself it took me almost a week before I could form full sentences without bursting into tears. Nobody can prepare you for what you are going to go through after putting a loved on a bus and knowing that they might not come back. We all believe that we will be OK and...

My Husband Stuck HIS Foot In MY Mouth

I love the man, I adore the man but I swear if he doesn't quit putting his foot in my mouth I am going to put my fooot up HIS butt! As most around here know, I don't mince words and I tend to be blunt...now take me and times that by oh about a zillion and you have my darling husband. He told me he... Sign in to see full entry.

It's All In How You Take It

So Carl and I were talking tonight and we got on the subject of how some soldiers present things to their family members. These are generally the younger ones who are trying to impress impressionable girlfriends. I was told about one soldier who had told his girlfriend he had a "rocket" go just...
