    My Photo
    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.

    Still Here

    Don't worry I'm still here. Life has just been very hectic and chaotic.

    The new job is keeping me extremely busy. I love it. The days fly by. Starting this weekend I will be hitting the books (studying for my Series 7 License) on my freetime. And that my folks is truly funny. I have gotten myself into a cluster fuck on piling to much on my plate. Sniper warned me, but I didn't listen. One of these days I may actually do that. When someone asks me if I want to voluntary next time, I will hands down say no.

    I have talked to Sniper again this morning. I say again, because last week he called me five times. Every call suprises me. It's never near the same time or day as the last. We only talked this morning for about 15 minutes. He is doing good, but needs sleep. He is staying super busy and hasn't had a day off yet or even a few hours, other than when he is supposed to be sleeping. That's when he calls me. He asked about his mom and Bubba. He misses them both so much. He also asked if I had been over there recently. Unfortunately, I haven't, life has been to hectic, but I plan on stopping by this weekend. (If one of you are reading this, I will be by on Sunday). I heard him taking those long, deep breaths you get right before you are out like a light. He was very close to falling asleep on the phone with me. I didn't want to hang up, but I told him to get some sleep and we'll talk again soon.

    Tomorrow is Lego Man's 12th Birthday. It will be another long day. I am planning on taking the kids out to dinner, Lego Man's choice. I will take him anywhere other than Mc D's (I refuse to eat that shit unless I am desperate). His Birthday present this last weekend from my parent's....another fuckin hamster (Drama Queen got one for her birthday, thanks guys). We now have two in the house. Do you know how noisy they are at night? I know they're nocturnal, but damn some of us need our sleep. As I am typing this I hear both of them (separate cages and rooms) running in there wheels over and over and over again. If it wasn't so mean I would tape the wheels down at night. Then again I may just do that. I need some sleep, I can't keep falling asleep at work. I have done that three times now.

    Series 7, eh?
    I have my 7, 6, 63, 65 and Ohio Life & Health.
    Make sure you take the 7 class if it's offered, and then test within a couple days of finishing the class.

    Also remember that what you learn to pass the tests don't always apply to "real life".

    Hey there. Glad you are keeping up updated. Tell Lego Man "HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM MISSISSIPPI!" I would send the hamsters somewhere else. I don't like um either.

     

    Blogger dyzgoneby said ... (8:35 PM) : 

    AF...After the 7 then it is on to the Series 66 and Life & Health. I plan on taking the class then the test right after. I am not looking forward to it. However, it will make this deployment go by much faster.

    Christy...Lego Man says thank you. And as for the Hamster's I have spent so much money on those damn things. Every time I turn around we are back at the pet store buying more toys for them.

    To date: 2 Cages, 2 balls (will be upgrading to cars soon, lol) 2 playpens, 2 liter boxes (yep they are liter box trained), 1 school bus & more frickin' tubes then they know what to do with.

    It would have been cheaper to get a dog.

    HEHE> I bet so. Now you wished you had a dog huh? Want me to send you a few of them too? Good luck on that test. I am sure you are going to do fine.
