    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.

    Studying Here

    Today, I spent the majority of the day studying. I don't know how I did this shit in college. It is killing my head. I have a major headache from all the brain power I am having to utilize. I think about finishing this exam and know I have two more behind it. The only thing keeping me going is the end result. Oh shit, it's going to be a very long, boring summer.

    I have had to relinquish my kids to Jedi until this first exam is over. I only see them now every other weekend. This has been hard on all of us. I miss my kids dearly. Drama Queen has lived with me since she was born and hasn't had to go but a week here and there without seeing me. Even when she spends the weeks with Jedi, I always stop by to spend time with the munchkins. I have been telling her, "Thank you for supporting Mommy in this. I am making a better life for all of us." She understands. She calls me everynight and tells me "Who is going to beat this test?" "Mommy." She has became my personal cheerleader. I love her for it.

    I have always been a very busy person with a full-time job, being a mom, keeping up with my house and my part-time business. Now I have thrown in the mix spending time with Bubba, writing long letters most nights (some nights he just gets a huge "I Love You" across a piece of paper, more so lately) and shopping for care packages. Then I have added trying to find time to study, it sucks. There are not enough hours in the day. Sniper and I wanted to have something to keep me busy and my mind occupied. Looking at it now, I wouldn't have had that problem.

    As Sniper always tells me, I keep piling too much on my plate and one of the days it is going to bite me in the ass. He's right.

    Just remember to take care of yourself and those babies. I know you will do fine on this test coming up. Hang in there. I know the feeling of the running over plate. It is so tough to handle it and sometimes it breaks us. But we tend to pick back up and do it. What happened to lessons learned?

    Keep your head up and study hard! You'll pass this one and the others and sniper will be proud.

    Good luck with your exams and I hope your "waiting" time will go by quickly for you! Tell your soldier thank you for the hard job he's doing and all the personal sacrifices.(You, too!) We're very proud of our troops! And the families waiting for them. Take care.

    Thank you everyone. I really appreciate all the support. I just can't wait to get through this all.

    I WANT A VACATION!!!!!
