LEGS morphs into ALIEN TEENAGER OVERNIGHT.....**

Howdy Doody Boogy Blog,

Tank Girlz Weather Documentary: Because we experienced 75 degree Sunny weather this weekend, so far this week it has been windy, rainy, partly sunny and chilly. FYI- The EURO is kicking the AMERICAN DOLLAR's A** right now......

This past weekend I came to a realization.  It was more like the greatest EUREKA! moment since I decided that Girls can do ANYTHING Boys can do too.  

When I was younger, late teens early 20's, I was VERY high strung.  Whenever things did not go my way, or I was inconvenienced I would literally FREAK OUT!  A little unfortunate trait passed down to me from The Daddy.  When I met LEGS, I could not believe how cool, calm and collected he was under pressure, or when really bad things happened.  


And so we became ARMS and LEGS.  A team.....a Dynamic Duo of sorts.  Every time I would have a complete Freak Show Freak Out, LEGS was there to calm me down and make me feel better.  And.....whenever LEGS lacked the necessary emotion or excitement I was there to ask if he had a pulse and a soul.  And this was how it was for many many years.


And then..........My Lovely LEGS became an APACHE PILOT.


Since then......I have noticed......My cool. calm. and collected husband, has become a steaming, turbulent, agitated, unhinged, unstrung, HOT MESS.  


When little things do not go his way or flow smoothly he totally flips out.  And there I am saying, 'Yo Man! Chill down dude!' 


While I am happy that years of 'therapy' have changed my persona into a more relaxed and composed human being, I am not so sure that I like this role reversal....calming him down is a lot of work, and being around his grumpy a** all weekend is just plain exhausting.

Unfortunately I have had to just put it on him and say- 'Hey if this is how you want to be and how you want to operate then that's on you.'

What I really find amusing......is when Monday morning rolls around and he realizes that he really needs me to do a really big favor. Its like suddenly we are ALL ANGLES AND HALO'S.  What am I dealing with here? Its like my 30 year old husband morphed overnight into a alien teenager. 

Heavy sigh......What can you do? 

(And just between you and me, I don't mind having him in a position of need.....)

(For as annoyed as I am I am actually taking this pretty well) 

Our whole life was packed up in January.

Its April 5th and we still don't have any of it, that is 4 months! 

The lady at the travel office at Fort Rucker told me that we would only receive our 'Survival Items' about 10 days before we receive our household goods.  

Um....we received our 'Survival Items' 3 weeks ago.  If I would have known this was how it was going to be I would have taken full advantage of the weight limits on our 'Survival Items' and packed more things. 

I am so tired of wearing the same clothes over and over and over again.

I am tired of spending money on things that I already have.

I am tired of sleeping on the bed straight from hell.

I am tired of the purple couch.

And I am sick and tired of eating lame food because I do not have all my kitchen gadgets.

So........

Our stuff arrives on Friday....

But.......

its..........

Only..........HALF of it.

&*(U)(*BLLLLLLLLEEEEEEP&$^&BLEP#^#*&%BLEP!!!!!!!!(%&#*(@)@*$^^%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!##@#$%^&(()(&^%$#@!!$%^&

Waaaa, waaaa, wait a minute.....wait......

Only 4, only 4 crates....out of 8?

Really? So you are saying we ONLY got 4000 of our 8000 pounds?

Are you CEREAL? I mean really....are you FOR REAL?

So.......where is the other HALF? 

On a different boat? LOST? STOLEN?

And.....which HALF is it? Is it the Workbenches and Christmas decorations? Or my lovely wonderful, dreamy bed?

In the end.....I have the answer to my own question? 

What CAN I do? Nothing.......so why stress?

Random Thoughts:

I don't know why but I seem to be in a grumpy mood.....

YUM....tomato soup......until you don't have a whisk....then it becomes LUMPY tomato soup......

I could make a cake! Nope never mind I don't have a pan for cake.....

I could make stew or chili......nope can't make that either not a big enough pot.

Sometimes I find everything everybody is saying on facebook boring....is that because I have too many friends? Am I a total jerk for saying that? Do they find me boring?

My 10 year high school reunion is in May.....yep.....I'm not gonna make it......I have to clean my house.....

Oh and besides that I am pretty sure LONGSHANKS is coming to visit ME in NEVER NEVER LAND in MAY- so there!

OVER & OUT

Just another day in the life of an unlikely military wife......**
