Real Navy Wives...

They know better then to think their husband isn't going to come home and complain about their job in the Navy. A "friend" of mine seems to think that our husbands are to leave work at work and my jaw just about fell into my lap when I saw what she had written. ANY NAVY WIFE KNOWS BETTER THEN TO EVER THINK THAT! If Mr D didn't come home and complain at some point about his day on the ship I would have to take his temp. And I would wonder if he had really went to work that day.

So, she gets all happy because he came home from an underway EARLY then complains because he didn't clean the house while she was grocery shopping, rather he slept. She posted that she was going to yell at him until he finished cleaning. Good lord! If Mr D came back early from an underway I would let the poor guy have a nap, not snap on him for being tired. I am a stay at home wife and, well, cleaning and grocery shopping is SORT OF my job. She is a stay at home wife too so it BLOWS. MY. MIND. that she got so worked up over this.

What I find really funny and even Mr D agrees, is that I would never try to have him clean when he just got back from an underway. And, actually, it looks like a tornado rolled through here after he gets home. What we tend to do the day my husband comes back from an underway is relax. Period. I take care of the things that need to be taken care of during the day so we don't have to be interrupted at night when he is home.

Girl even went on and on about how she had to go out of her way to pick him and a few shipmates up because of them coming home early. How about the fact that THE DAY Mr D came home from deployment we took 1 friend to his car in long term parking THEN still had to take 2 more people home. Did I complain? After not seeing my husband in 6 months I REALLY was dying for some alone time with him but I sure didn't complain.

I really do want to delete this girl from my friends list but if I did I wouldn't have been inspired to write this today now would I have?

In other news: I never shared this with you guys but I miscarried early September. It was the most devastating thing my husband and I have ever been through and now we are TTC again so please send up a prayer or keep your fingers crossed for us. Heck, doing both would be even better.
