A case of the Mondays.....**

Last night LEGS and I were on the couch watching Eclipse......(we will get back to Eclipse in a minute).....I am knitting and he is sitting next to me.....I notice he is moving around and squirming......A LOT.....so I look over and he is sitting with his ass/back towards me, and he legs folded up the the side- a very girly position.....and he is smoothing the blanket down (so it appears to me that he is sitting like a girl would sit in a skirt if she was sitting on the floor, and smoothing out her skirt- are you following me?)

I look at him like he is crazy because this is the second most feminine thing I have ever seen him do the whole time we have been together......and I say:

ARMS: "What are you doing?!?"

LEGS: He sheepishly and innocently replies "Trying to get you to cuddle me....?" (awww I didn't know whether to cry or laugh my a** off!!!)

The first most feminine thing I have seen him do: LEGS stands 6' 2" which means most shower heads don't fit over his head.  After he shampoo's his hair, he has to lean back and bend down to fit under the water flow.......once he has managed this feat, he does this little head/hair flick thing- that mimic's the part in dirty dancing when she sashay's her head from side to side- with her hands up.....yep exactly like that......

About Eclipse......I thoroughly enjoyed all of the books.  In fact I was working with troubled teens at the time of reading them, and I had almost all the boys on the cottage reading the series.  But I found the movie to be corny and cheesy in some parts.....

The significance of this observation is that I was supposed to be a mature adult role modeling and working with unstable teenagers, when now, I am afraid I was in an immature state of mind..... : /

My Grams wears Christmas themed sweatshirts around Christmas.  OK.... let me repeat that.....My Grams wears Christmas themed 'SWEATSHIRTS' around Christmas...... :D

LEGS and I had a rough morning.  We woke up early.  He had PT and I had a yoga class I wanted to attend.  While he was getting dressed for PT, I was making the bed.  He has a tendency to leave his cell phone right on the edge of his nightstand, so naturally, I bumped it off.  When I reached down to grab it I sliced my finger open on something sharp (I still don't know what it was), so I was running around the house bleeding......

Meanwhile he was downstairs feeding the dogs.  We barely had any food to feed them this morning (this would be because LEGS failed to tell me we were short on dog food) so he decided to break up some treats to give to them......Next thing I hear is the tin bowls and food fly all over the kitchen floor......

I come downstairs, still bleeding because I cannot find band aides anywhere in our house, and he is just looking down at the food all over the floor....frozen.....at that point what could you do? So we had a little whoever gets it gets it lesson for the dogs this morning-just in case they ever had to...

After PT LEGS was supposed to pick up some dog food at the PX.  He came home and told me that he drove up to the PX at 7:45am.  He waited until 8:00am when (he thought) the PX was supposed to open. Instead it opens at 9 : / Guess who had to go get dog food today?  

Yep right in the middle of lunch, this girl hoofed a 40 lb. of dog food right through the middle of the PX Food Court.....it was totally the highlight of my day......

LEGS was getting dressed for work, and he said to me:

LEGS: "Where is my flag?"

ARMS: A confused look comes over my face and I think "What the hell is he talking about?"

LEGS: Beginning stages of panic "Where is my flag!!!"

ARMS: I come into the bedroom "What are you looking for?"

LEGS: "I can't find my flag!!!"

ARMS: It finally occurs to me he is looking for the flag that Velcro's on his uniform........

We found THE FLAG.

So after slaving away today, I went to the sauna to take a siesta this afternoon......my little half hour of peace.......I go in there and this lady in there starts putting on Skin So Soft......HUH!?! So we are sitting in a hot sauna and she is putting bug juice on......GROSS and WHY WHY WHY!?!? I couldn't help but think bugs were crawling all over me the whole time...either way I killed a lot of real or imaginary mosquito's during that half hour....heavy sigh......so much for peace........

WEAKNESS: I don't know what it is.....but the one thing that makes me feel better NO MATTER WHAT, is Flamming Hot Cheeto's, Pizza and Ice Cream.....not all mixed together or at once.....What? I am not perfect...its how I deal with LIFE when it gets to be too much......

Apparently I have an addiction to high fructose corn syrup....and the first step is admitting it.......with the shakes I am thinking in my mind: They WILL have these things in NEVER NEVER LAND, they WILL have these things in NEVER NEVER LAND.......

Do they have a HighFructoseCornSyrup Anonymous Group yet?

Even though we had a case of the Monday's this morning.....and LEGS came home stressed out from work.....we have a good life......I made him pumpkin cheesecake....and we slow danced to 'The Way You Looked Tonight' by Tony Bennett.....In the entry way of the house.....

"With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart...
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose, 

(This is the part where Clancy belched really loudly....)

It touches my foolish heart."

 

(heavy sigh).......Just another day in the life of unlikely military wife.....**
