Days Gone By

"Yesterday is already a dream, And tomorrow is only a vision, but today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope."

    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.

    Sacrifices

    Sunday and Monday I STUDIED....and Today.....well....ummmm...I am getting there.

    Drama Queen calls me, on the way home tonight, and wants me to pick her up. She's bored and there is no one to play with. She wants to come home, play with her friends and she promises she will make her own dinner, soup.

    As she is telling me this, I am thinking...Her friends will destroy what little is left in my house clean. I have mud all over the carpet from Saturday. hmmmm....her making herself soup, oh hell no. The last time I let her cook something, she ended up with smoothies in my cabinets, on the counters, all over the floor and on the carpet in the living room. Ok, again hell no!!

    "Mom.....mommy, please come get me?"

    I tried to explain to her, it's almost over. Only a few short weeks left to go until I am finished (well, with the first one).

    She thought I was being unfair and told me I am being mean. She's bored and there is nothing to do.

    That did it. I blew up. I flat out told the little shit, "I would love to have time to play right now. I would love to actually be bored right now. I would love to do anything,but study right now. Don't give me any shit about being bored. You need to learn about sacrifices. The sacrifices I am making for all of us."

    I hung-up and haven't talked to her since. That little shit pissed me off. Here I am trying my hardest and she is bitching she's what.....bored...bored....Oh hell no! I would love to be bored for a day or two or three.

    Don't worry, I know she will call me tonight to have me "tuck her in" via the phone.

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