    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.

    Our Little Houdini's At It Again.

    A little while ago, I am laying on my bed watching a Movie and sorta studying when I see something small and black run out from under my computer armoire. I screamed real loud (I bet my neighbors loved me). I look down and there is this small, black, furry creature staring at me. Damn frickin hamster got out again. The only problem, I am all by myself. No kids to catch that frickin shit head.

    As I was grabbing my phone to call Jedi to bring the kids home to come catch this thing, my phone rings. Jedi was calling me. I scream into the phone, you need to grab the kids and get over here quick. Shelia is out and someone needs to catch her. He basically told me to fuck off. I begged and pledded.

    As I was trying to somewhat look for her. Jumping on my bed, climbing on furniture, standing on anything I could. I was able to lock her in the bathroom, but not before we (damn Houdini & I) jumped 5 feet in the air as I scream.

    Then, guess what? Jedi and the kids showed up to put her back into the cage. It took Lego Man all of 30 seconds to grab her. My little hero for the day.

    Sniper and I had a conversation awhile back about the two Houdini's that live in my house. He wants them gone before he gets home. I can't do that to my kids. I can see it now, Sniper comes home and they both decide to play Houdini. He wakes up with one of them in our bed. No more Houdini's.........

    Things we do for our kids. I tell you what. I would be the same way though. I hate rodents. Lucky for me my kids only want a dog.

    My brother had mice. They got out.

    I'll bet they're STILL living in that little house with the strawberry carpet on Catalina Island.

    Dan had a hamster (way back when) and it got out of it's cage. the weiner dog killed it. Dan was so mad at that dog.
    Wouldn't it be funny if sniper came home and that hamster got in your bed and upon sniper's chest while he was sleeping, and all of a sudden sniper wakes up eye ball to eye ball with a hamster. I wonder who would survive that moment?

     

    Blogger dyzgoneby said ... (5:56 PM) : 

    Christy...We all want a dog, but made Sniper a promise we would wait. He may have to rethink that at this rate.

    Airforcewife....That is what I am afraid of.

    A Military Mom....LOL. I can see it now and I know who would survive....RIP Houdini

    Sounds like a midnight snack to me. You will find Sniper in the back yard eating it on a stick, having flash backs to eating monkey on a stick in the Phillipines. OHHHH I miss monkey on a stick, see ya later I got to go find some road kill and get me a snack. Just Kidding people, or am I?????

     

    Blogger AFSister said ... (10:13 AM) : 

    When I was a kid I had a lot of little creatures like hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs. The oddest though was the hermit crab. My Mom did fine with everything BUT the crab. One morning, my Dad woke me up, yelling "SIS! GET IN HERE!" Not wanting to get my ass beat, I high-tailed it into my parents room.

    There was my Mom, covers pulled up to her chin, with an ungodly look of terror on her face.. watching my hermit crab crawl up the bedspread toward her face.

    Dad just said "I think that belongs to you".
    I just said "Ooops. I'll get that out of your way, Mom". hehehe"
