    Name: dyzgoneby
    Location: California, United States

    I am married to a wonderful Marine and a mother of 5 darling children. Sniper has been home from his second tour in the Shitbox since July 2006. This will be my rants, raves and rumblings with my life with him as a Marine Wife, him dealing with life post Iraq and the Marine Corps next adventure for us. At times I may whine, I may cry and there maybe times I just don't make any sense and you think WTF. These are my feelings and my feelings alone. If you don't like what I have to say, click the "X" in the right corner and move on. Thank a vet for having that choice. If not, sit back and enjoy the peak into my crazy world.

    Just Another Day

    Yesterday, I did a lot better.

    I had a mission. Sniper gave me a "Honey-Do" list to accomplish. I have had this list for the last six months and hadn't really done much. He rewrote it and told me to finish it. Okay, I have been lazy. I started it at the top and actually finished it all. All done, Sir!!!!

    I went over to the craft store to have my yellow ribbons made for the front of my house (I'm not very crafty). I had someone to help me and she was asking lots of questions. The problem was as soon as she started to make the ribbon I started to bawl. What a ninny....I tried to keep it together and had been doing very well that morning. But when she asked how long it will need to last, I lost it. I felt sorry for the people around me. I finally pulled it together and left.

    The rest of the day I stayed so busy, I didn't have to think.

    I was able to talk to him at the end of the night. He was exhausted and it had been a long day. He starts training his Marines at 0730 this morning and a 3 of the guys already have to be replaced.

    One - DUI (not good dude)
    Two - Stabbed over the weekend in the neck (definitely not good)
    Three - Mom passed away the night before (my thoughts and prayers go out to his family)

    Then a couple of units had a few things that came up and won't be able to report until later in the morning. He is trying to get the training done during the week, that way his Marines can be with their families on the last few weekends they are here. At the rate they are going, that won't happen.

    This morning I stopped by Sniper's moms work and said hi. She introduced me to some of her coworkers as Sniper's Girlfriend and the one he was dating years ago before boot. That was a great feeling. I will have to write soon about what happened years past. We haven't really got along until the last 6 months.

    The next few days I will be gone. I am leaving at 1200 for a three day scrapbook retreat. I can't wait. Just to have my friends around me right now is what I need.

    Dear dyz,
    It's a process..this saying goodbye and dealing with the deployment.
    You'll get through it.
    I'll try to find you the link to the stages of dealing with deployment.
    It won't fix the feelings but you won't think you're going nuts. It is normal!!!
    Take it from a Marine wife of 20 years and many deployments..including his most recent one to the sandbox in 2004.

    Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference. The Marines do not have that problem. President Ronald Reagan
