Silly Me
| I thought I would share some of the silly things I have been doing around the house to remind me of Sniper. I needed a good laugh today. I have some of his clothes, boxers and sweats. I have been wearing them all. I spend the weekends in his sweats. The only time I am not in any of his clothes, is when they are being washed. He bought me a US Marines Camp Pendleton sweatshirt the day before he left. I wear it all the time and I mean everywhere. Wingman keeps making comments on how funny I have been with that sweatshirt. I figured by the time he is home, it will be in shreds. Sniper put a "Honey Do" list up on the fridge when he was here last. One of his to-do's, "Kiss for Sniper." Well, it's still there and if someone takes it down I will kick there ass. I have even threatened my kids, they both just laugh. He bought me a USMC bear last year and I sleep with it everynight. OK, I'm 35 years old and sleeping with a frickin' teddy bear. (How do I tell my 12 year old son to stop sleeping with his bunny if I can't even stop sleeping with this bear). I even took it with me when I went on my scrapbook retreat for the weekend. Thank God nobody ever gave me any shit there for sleeping with the damn thing. They all knew it has become my security blanket. Every night Drama Queen tucks the USMC bear in my bed and puts Sniper's picture on my pillow. I have a picture of us on my computer monitor and when I turn off the computer at night, I kiss the picture / monitor and tell him "Good night my love, I love you." If you think I am nuts, that's okay, I know I am. I hope y'all enjoyed the laugh. dyzgoneby |

post a commentyou know...a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do - and sometimes thats living in the love of your life's sweats and sleeping with teddy bears and kissing pictures goodnight.
Sniper is lucky to have such a sweet and loving woman in his life and in his heart...

of course we think that you are nuts. But guess what??? We are all that way when our men leave us for long spurts of time. Every stuffed animal John ever gave me or sent me while he was gone ended up being in my bed as well. I am talking 3. Our oldest child tried swiping them from my bed and talk about the wrath of mom. WOW she would not try that again. She looked at me one day and said we will name them all JOHN since they are from daddy and you will be cuddled with when i am not here. Things our kids do to make us feel better.
Anyways that does not sound crazy. Just means we are all trying to keep our sanity.
When you go through withdrawals just give me an email. I will be there to listen. You are right I have been busy and moving no where. Just running with my all bogged down and tears flying everywhere. It will all get better for the both of us.
I do the same thing. I told J to wear one of his shirts for a couple days while working, not to wash it & then put it in a zip lock bag. When I am really, really needing him I will wear the shirt. Even if it smells of sweat - it is his sweat & let me tell you it the sweetest smelling sweat around! :)
