    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.

    Update on.....Well Us

    The last few weeks I KNOW I haven't blogged much. It is not for a lack of material on my part. There is plenty. It is just that Sniper is home with me (and Wingman) & I will be damned if I am going to spend my extra free time (whatever the hell that is) sitting here typing. Besides if he sees me doing this, him or Wingman just might kick the shit out of me. Well, not really, but I like my ass where it is and don't need another good chewing out. Yes, over the last few weeks I have had to grow a new one from the ass chewings.

    Life has been very crazy in the house with not one, but two Marines. I am going to have to get used to it. I don't see it changing anytime soon and Wingman just may become a permanent part of our household soon anyway. Yep, our house just may have 5 kids and me living in it (Sniper, Wingman, Bubba, Lego Man and Drama Queen). I bet you can see how much joy it will be with all the testosterone in our household. Then again me on PMS might just scare them all away......nah, I wouldn't want to do that. Life would be boring.

    Things with Sniper and I are doing exceptionally well. The house is stocked with beer, lots of good food (where ever we end up at night) and plenty of "us" time. Yep, "we" are adjusting to us again. I am loving it!!!!! I feel like a little girl falling in love for the first time, but the cool thing is, it is with the man of my dreams.

    My days I am still working and studying, but the night time is for family. I have been burning the candle at both ends. I am lucky if I hit the rack before 0100 and back up by 0530. Not much sleep here. We only have a couple more weeks together before we go back to the life we had before deployment (every 4 weeks). In the meantime I am just going to soak up ever hour I can.

    Ok, off to study and ummmm work, since that is where I am at.
