Ramblings of an Army Wife
|
| Today is my wonderful husband's 39th birthday. It seems like only yesterday I was a single gal of 27 going to meet the love of my life in CA, equipted with a divorce and a 5 year old child. He was a single man of 28 when we started to live together. Here we are, 11 years later and two more kids richer. I am thinking about a song - I might mess up with the words but it seems to sum up our existance with one another - "& even tho we aint got money - I'm so in love with you honey"
On the flip side - my ex husband's birthday's in a few days and I want to wish him a happy - what to do? | comments: Leave a comment   |
| You know, I have been on the other end of this. I have been the greiving wife, crying my eyes out & oblivious to the others around me. Today I went to see a friend off who had no family to be there for her. I saw mothers crying for their children, Very pregnant wives (a lot of them this was their first child) crying for their husbands, most of whom will not get to see their first child until that child is a year old, little kids confused as to why & what is going on. I was heartbroken. I was heartbroken for those people, myself (selfish me!) and to all of those who do not understand what the experience is like.

| Sonnet Written From a Warrior's Hand
By: Joseph Bromley
copyright 2009 Joseph Bromley
Of all the gifts I've ever given
the best I save for you
A free land for you to live in
and peace of mind so true
I Know this gift you will have to share
and I pray you share it well
For this gift I've claimed with utmost care
was paid for with time in Hell
Make no mistake, I am at War
Loaded weapon in my hand
Remembering who I fight for
while I sit here in the sand
So rest sound upon this fact tonight
My family, you ARE my will to fight. | | comments: Leave a comment |

| | Why is it that I save a bird from the cats, but not a rat? Why did I today catch my cat from killing a grackel, and "punish her" and then let her sister kill mice? & SAY "good girl?" | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Poor Tofu - sooooo misunderstood!
DENVER – Kelly Coffman-Lee wanted to tell the world about her love of tofu by picking the letters for her car's license plate. But her tofu fondness ran into a snafu at the Division of Motor Vehicles, which blocked her plan because they thought the combination of letters could be interpreted as profane. Her suggestion for the plate on her Suzuki: "ILVTOFU."
Department of Revenue spokesman Mark Couch said the letters could be misinterpreted. Coffman-Lee, 38, said tofu is a staple of her family's diet because they are vegan and that the DMV misinterpreted her message. | | comments: Leave a comment |
