Wanna make your soldier do a double take when he returns from Iraq? TMWC is partnering with "Capessa.com ":http://capessa.comto give a few lucky ladies the chance to give their husbands a welcome back surprise that will be sure to remind him just how great it is to come home. The women we select to participate will be filmed for a series of online videos that will be published in the fall.
Have you ever thought about joining the military? I can't say that I ever have and here are some of my reasons. Please feel free to comment and add yours!
I just went to our work bathroom and intentionally didnt replace the toilet paper only b/c I know the girl who went up before left just a thin sheet and she always does it. So knowing she would be up there again before we leave, I left it empty. Goodness, Im so mean sometimes.
I love watching him at work when I get the chance to. He has on his "very busy and important" face on and it just makes me so proud of him!
My husband does not like talking to me. About anything. He says it's painful to talk to me, because I ask "the dumbest questions". So we don't talk. At all. I can't live like this. I don't dare ask him about anything in regards to his job, because he gets all upset and angry that I asked him a question. Like, he'll come home and say he had a bad day at work, but if I ask what happened, he will say you wouldn't understand, I can't explain it to you so you'll get it, or he'll say he can't talk about it. Anyone else who asks him about his job, he's all over it explaning things to them, so I resort to eavesdropping on on his conversations to know what he does, or what happened.
That's so totally pathetic! You don't need to tell me that. I just don't knwo what to do. It's not like I have an exciting career myself to hide from him. I just don't get why it's such a painful experience for him to talk to me about anything, his wife, but he will open up like crazy to someone else.
Are you fucking kidding me?!? Inspections every week for at lease 3 months!! ALL uniforms. Who in the hell can still fit in their old uniforms? I sure as hell know he can't. Guess this means more $$ down the drain. FUCK!!!
i belive there is a god. but i dont belive in all the differnt religion BS like you have to do this or you will go to hell or you cant marry someone whos whatever or youll go to hell. and then they say god is all forgiving... give me a fucking break!
i also, hate it when people say that im crazy for not babtizing my babies yet. um, sorry, i think that when they are older, they should have the right to choose for themselves if and what they want to be babtized as. thats when it really means something. if we all die tomarrow, my babies are not going to hell becuase they arent babtized yet!! leave me the heck alone! thats a terriable thing for you to "believe" god will do!
Does anyone else do the Deployment Diet? I'm already down four pounds and he only left Sunday!!!!
i am in college fulltime. My husband is on leave for 20 days. I don't understand why when i come home from school the kids and his breakfast, lunch dishes are everywhere, laundry thrown whereever it lands, trash that should go in the trashcan is laying on end tables and coffeetables. Why can't he just pick up after himself? He is off work for 20 days doing absouletely nothing!! I shouldn't have to come home from school to clean up, cook dinner, clean up again, bathe kids cause he won't do it, start laundry, then study and do my homework before getting a shower myself. I have class everyday at 8 and need to be up at 630, i dont typically make it home till after 4 and after doing all that don't make it to bed till well past 2am some days. I'm getting tired of having to do everything around here even when he is working. I mean if we both have been out of the house all day, tired, we should both take care of the responsiblities. I mean if i cook, then he cleans up, if i bathe the kids he should start the laundry, ect. it shouldn't all fall on me. Well better go start cleaning up so i can make the asshole and the selfish brats their dinner.
I was so scared of this deployment changing him...hardening him, numbing him, giving him PTSD...but thankfully he has not seen anything that would cause those things. He has been safe and secure and other than the whole missing him like crazy part, this deployment has not been as bad as I'd psyched myself up for. But...he has changed drastically in a way that I never thought possible. He has started reading the bible and praying and cutting out swearing and drinking and looking at porn and at first I thought GREAT, good for him. He was raised Christian and has always believed, but hadn't fully lived the lifestyle since he moed out of his parents' house. But I am not a Christian. I am very spiritual but I do not believe in the bible or most of the things most Christians believe in. Now his emails are filled with quoted bible passages and asking me to tone down MY swearing...and wondering how we'll be able to raise our kids Christian when I have different beliefs. I think he doesn't even wanna have sex when he comes home (we're engaged, not married yet). I am sick to my stomach thinking that we have made it so far, gone through so much, have such an amazing relationship and now THIS might be what breaks us up. I am just as unwilling to convert or change my beliefs as he is. I know we need to find a compromise and common ground but he is not willing to adjust any of his beliefs...especially if it's "not in the bible!" He has essentially told me I am sinning by believing in science (I am a Psychology major...it's what I've learned and just WHAT I believe) and that I'm going to hell. I just don't know what to do...and religion is the touchiest subject ever. Not to mention, trying to come up with a happy medium for how we'll live the rest of our lives together over EMAIL is near impossible!! Please let him come home somewhat normal and still the man I fell in love with...
I can't wait for the hell week at dh's work is over....than he will stop taking his issues at work out on me.
This new birth control legislation that they are trying to pass scares the shit out of me. Birth control is not abortion. The Pill tricks the body into thinking it is already pregnant and stops an egg from releasing. I don't understand how that can be equated with an abortion. I really hope this doesn't pass. It'd be a giant step backwards.
I was cleaning my desk at work today and when I moved my desk calendar I found the card that came with the flowers he sent to me on my Birthday when he was deployed, that said Happy Birthday Baby, I love and miss you. It made me smile and my heart just melted. I love you too Baby!!
why do the last weeks/days till he gets home, hafta take FOVERER??
he called a bunch of times when i was in the shower, dengit! i hate missing his calls. it makes me sad for the rest of the day! :(
Its very hard for me to forgive people. I hold grudges for a long time. Esp when I have been taken advantage of or anyone close to me. Even if that person who did the wrong says sorry, etc, I still look at them like they are full of crap and I have little respect for them. Part of me feels bad but I just shrug it off. Even when it turns out to be true, I think to myself, serves them right. I dont do this to everyone, its just certain people I suppose.
Sometimes when me and my husband have sex he wont go. I don't think it is me because I do the same things and sometimes he will go in like 15 minutes. He says that he can't control it and that it feels amazing. I just don't understand why he can't go. Any advice would be nice. Thanks.
and just like that all the pringle chips were gone.
I had an interview today, and my possible-boss saw my military community address. He asked if my husband would be deploying anytime soon, or if he was home, etc.
I told him how he leaves for 8 months in a few weeks.
He looked at me with pity & said, "I'm sorry. I'll try to keep your hours low to start. I could NEVER imagine leaving my wife for longer than a month."
I started to break down & cry. Wtf is wrong with me? & why did he feel the need to point that out to me?
I'm so strong until ANYBODY brings the 'D' word up. Then I lose it. I can't fake it anymore.
So much for that job. lol.
To all the one-upping Nancies on here:
Just because you 2 people fight, doesn't mean they don't love each other. & just because 2 people don't, it doesn't mean they more in love, or in love at all.
Is it Friday yet?
Ughhhhhhhhhhh. Week from hell & it's only Tuesday.
