Life as a Marine Corps wife!

My husband comes home tomorrow after 8 weeks at a school in 29 Palms CA - yippee!!! The kids are excited and I can't wait........!


I love my life as a Marine wife, it's a great adventure thats for sure.......

In true military wife life here is a list of things that have happened in the last 8 weeks;

-Had to have a root canal and crown on a abscessed root canal and crown - ouch!
-Had leg surgery (thankfully my parents were here to help me with that)
-Washing Machine broke - guy came to fix it, NOT!!! had to buy a new one ;o(
-Vacuum Cleaner broke - only needed a new part - WHEW!!!
-Car needed a new battery!! (thanks to my sweet neighbor for helping me with that)
-I was crazy enough to start a new project of sanding and painting my kitchen table and chairs - STILL NOT DONE!!
-4 year old needed a new passport
-I needed a new passport
-Had a meeting at school with my oldest kids Student Study Team
-Kids needed physicals
-8 year old needed blood drawn  - he was so brave!
-4 year got pneumonia - needed chest X-ray!! trying to get the meds in her was a task of epic proportions!

AND then there was all the regular stuff

Homework

AND then the fun stuff

Playing with my kids

Hanging with friends

Probably forgot a few things that happened at the very start - 8 weeks ago is a LONG time!!

And in true Marine Corps wife life, nothing out of the ordinary will happen when he comes home..........................!

Well apart from the fact that he called me this week and told me that we are moving to Hawaii in a MONTH!!!!!!!!!

The weird part about it all is that I LOVE IT - which leads me to the question I ask myself, do I need pshciatric help????????????
