    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.

    New Job and Sheer Exhaustion

    I am completely wiped. This will be quick.

    I woke up this morning at 0610. Oh F*CK! I was supposed to be up at 0500 and out the door at the latest by 0630. Run down the stairs, need coffee quick. Grabbed a cup and ran back up the stairs, spilling coffee the whole way. Jumped into a somewhat cold, still warming up shower. Got out, dressed, did the quick make-up, blow dry hair and out the door thing. Still trying to shake the cob webs out of my head, I was on the road by 0635.

    Looked down and realized I needed gas. Can this get any better. I just wanted to turn around and go back to bed. I'll be damned if I am going to be late for my first day. Drove out towards my job and got off the freeway, running on fumes and found a gas station. I had 17 minutes to go until I was supposed to be at the new job. I then get this wonderfully bright idea to run my car through the carwash, since I was already there and figured I could push the envelope. At 0721 pull out of the stupid carwash and totally push it towards the new job. I pulled into the parking lot and park at 0730. Right on time.

    My day was pretty uneventful. I met quiet a few new people. However, I couldn't log onto anything, my ID's and passwords won't be available for 24 to 48 hours. The way the system is set up, I have 4 different sets of IDs for all the computer programs I log into. I will need to figure out a way to remember each of them.

    Quitin' time was at 1600 and I was out the door headed back home at 1604.

    I am back to the land of the working with mixed emotions. I loved staying at home with the kids and playing mom. I never thought in my wildest dreams I would actually want to stay home with the kids fulltime. I really enjoyed it. However, I know after a few more weeks, one of us probably would have been duct taped to a wall or at the funny farm. I loved my last job and what I do. This new one is going to be a even bigger adventure and I am ready.

    I am utterly, 100% bone-dead tired. I will write more and reply back to everyone's emails tomorrow. For now I am off to write a quick letter to Sniper and then hit the rack, but not before a big huge drink of something yummy.

    Welcome back to the land of the working. Sounds like you have some readjusting to do my dear. It is for sure tough. Good luck! I hope you stay very excited about your new job. I am sure it will be a better day come the next and the ones that keep coming.

    You got ready quickly! Glad you made it on time and the rest of the day was less eventful.
