    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.

    In Case Ya'll Needed a Laugh, Laugh at Me for Awhile

    I know I have been a little pre-occupied and not blogging for the last couple of days, but I am here. Just so your not wondering: No Sniper isn't home (it will be sometime in the next 2 to 3 months), no I am not pregnant (come on people, Marines can be creative, but not that creative), Sniper hasn't been inured again (twice is about all we can take for awhile), the kids are still alive and they are good to go (I haven't duct taped the kids in a few weeks to the wall), it's just other bullshit.

    I can tell you, I have not been running since Saturday (in 95 degree heat, oh yeah baby bring it on). Remember me bitching about my ankles. Well, trying to run through the pain in your feet/ankles is NOT a good idea. I think I damaged more than what I expected. My tendons on the outside of BOTH my feet (just under my ankles) are very swollen. I haven't worn shoes since Saturday and can barely walk.

    Have you ever looked at someone dressed nice and looked down to see they are wearing FLIP FLOPS? Let me tell you the looks I have been getting is pretty funny (I look like a beach bum). Then you add in the way I am walking, like an old drunk hag with something stuck way up her arse. It's a hoot.

    If this continues I will have to go have it checked out. For now it's ICE ICE BABY and Mortin (I wish I had something stronger).

    What's going to be hilarious is my office on Friday is spending the day, in 107 degree heat playing golf and I said I would go and play. That's fine and dandy if I could walk and if I could play golf. I have never played in my life (unless you count miniature golf). I have been out to the driving range.......once. When I did hit the ball (once every 12 swings) it went the opposite direction of where it is supposed to go.

    So, I can't walk, can't play golf, it's going to be 107 degrees outside and we all will be drinking the day away. All I can say is


    "CAUTION, HARD HAT AREA"

    Don't say I didn't forewarn ya'll.

    *FYI, It's all in the shoes. A word from the not so wise, you get what you pay for. Do not run in just any shoes, this can be a big mistake. Now my ass and my ankles are swealing up to the same size.

    Sniper, we are almost there. I love ya. I promise to take lots of pics. You will enjoy the laugh, that's a promise.

    I'll caddy for you. Don't worry I'll get you on the green before you know it. FORE!!!!!!

    Go Go. Get it done. I tell you what. You should take a break for a while before you really hurt something or someone. Which ever the case may be. You are going to be all broken by the time your man comes home it is not going to be funny then.

    uncle jim...your hired. Just remember I "fore" warned ya. I can't wait to share the pics.

    christy....I am soo pushing myself. Sniper will be home in the not so distant future and I want this body to at least resemble something of what he remembered when he left.

    Besides I am going to run (literally) out of time for the boot camp challenge. I really don't want to make a ass out of myself.

    I promise "this old body" won't be too broken by the time he comes home. Somethings just keep on ticking.

    I gues you'd better take some lessons before Sniper gets home. I heard he likes to play but doesn't always have time to. Maybe this will be something that you guys can do together. I find it to be a little relaxing. Hittin the shit out of the ball always relives stress. I've been a little worried about you. Call me when you can I have the most wonderful picture of Ausitn and his baseball team.
