Hooah!! THANK YOU for being a strong woman behind one of my military HEROES - you are a hero too!! *HUGS!*
Well, I appreciate that, but actually I'm not behind any military hero. My teenage daughter's boyfriend is in Iraq and another dear young friend of mine just came home (a Naval officer who was so determined to fight directly in this war that he transferred to ground duty in Iraq, and ruined his fine career in doing so). But I don't have a husband over there. I am just surrounded by local officers' wives in my neighborhood who spend half their lives bitching about how tough it is to have Himself gone for six months or so, and as a divorced mother who has not had a man to make decisions for me in the past ten years I get furious that they call their husbands and whine about how hard it is making the maid do a good job on the bathrooms. Sheesh. These gals need to get a clue. It's the twenty-first century and today women actually are able to make decisions for themselves. I just know that if I had a husband over there I'd never bother his head about a thing, just send him lots of news stories from FR about how the American people love what our boys are doing over there and fill his head with promises about what I was going to do to him when he gets back.
