    Formerly Known as "Anonymous Army Wife"

    This blog started in January 06 as a way to record the emotional ride I was facing when my soldier deployed to Iraq. I was worried about being a single mom to 3yr old twins and 10 yr old twins without doing any permanent damage that may require them to be sent to therapy later on in life. The marriage didn't survive, now I'm starting over. Join me through the ups and downs, the laughter and the tears as you peek into a day in the life of a former "Anonymous Army Wife"

THE ARMY WIFE--He takes her from the home she knows to lands of which are new -- Survival in an unknown place becomes her test of truth -- Her burdens are of many and his thanks sometimes are small -- She keeps her faith through thick and thin and makes the best of all -- She lives with some uncertainty know not what dawn may bring -- But he knows nothing stops his girl from doing anything -- Whether star or stripe or bar adorns his collar for his strife -- Nothing means more to a soldier than the one he calls his wife. -Author Unknown (Any of y'all buy that crap?)

Doggone It

I rented from Redbox this evening. I just finished watching Courageous, the best movie of 2012 so far to me. One of the best I've seen in...........I don't know how long. This movie me had go through all of my emotions. I laughed. I cried. I got angry. I got excited. I got sad. I felt inspired. It was great. I'm not convinced there are actually men in the world like the men in this movie. But still it was incredible and touching.

I can't wait to go to work on Monday and talk about it with my buddy "D". This is so the kind of movie he would love. I'm SURE he has seen it. If not, he'll be highly annoyed by me come 5pm on Monday afternoon.

Speaking of being annoyed..........................

Okay, I'm sleeping last night. My dog, Bo, loves to sleep in the crook behind my legs when I'm sleeping on my side. I guess it keeps him warm. If I roll over during the middle of the night, he will patiently way for me to get settled, climb over me and again snuggle up behind the backs of my knees. Last night as he was making his little nest, he carried his squeaky toy bone to lie down next to him.

No problem.

UNTIL he decided to start chewing on Mr Squeaky bone at 2am.

Squeak,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Squeak...................Squeak Squeek Squeek....................Squeek Squeek...........Squeek Squeek

Bo! Stop! I nudged him ever so gently. Well, as gently as one is capable after being woken up at 2am by squeak toy.

He would be quite for a minute. Then I would hear the faintest squeak squeak, then it got louder, squeak squeak squeak. Then he really started getting into it again. SQUEAK SQUEAK.

Grrrrr!

ENOUGH! I reach behind me and grabbed the squeaky toy and put it under my pillow. Bo sat there for a moment like, "Oh no she di'int!" He gets up in disgust and walks up to my pillow and starts pawing at my pillow.

Seriously Bo?

He finally gave up because I held it firmly in my hand under the pillow under my head. I fell back asleep.

At around 4am, I get up to go to the bathroom forgetting all about the dang toy under my pillow. I finish my business and get back into bed. I look over at my clock to calculate my remaining amount of sleep time and then I close my eyes.

I'm sure the little monster had been sitting and planning ever since I took that thing away. "Silly human. I'll show her for taking my squeaky bone away!" He waited until I left the room and went and stole back his bone. He thought he was slick because that last set of squeaks was coming from under my bed somewhere.

I gave in and clamped another pillow down over my head. Now all I could hear were faint muffled squeaks but I was finally able to fall back asleep.

He's lucky he's cute during the day.
