Well now, THAT was interesting.

I was at the grocery, getting lunch stuff for dh. Basic task, and one of the ladies working at the grocery made a comment about the things I was getting at the meat counter, and it was an off hand joke, I know she meant in jest, but what she said was 'Well I guess we gotta give em something decent sometimes, eh?'. I know she was referring to dh and to her own husband  most likely, and I was ready to rip open a great tongue lashing!That was just rude!

This is the thing.. It's NOT funny to crack jokes or complain about spouses being gone, their being here being a pain in the butt, etc. It just isn't. My love isn't some second rate citizen, who only gets a decent lunch when I feel like it- if he needs a lunch made, I will make it the best I can. If he needs something done, I will take care of it for him.. the way that he works his butt off the best he can for our family. We are a team, working together to make our family succeed..  I will celebrate every day he is home with me, and bear through the days that he must be gone. That's what it is really- bearing it through... I'm frazzled with those who insinuate that the guys should deploy more, or that it's a hassle to have them home. I don't like it when people act like it's putting them out, if you didn't want a spouse to come home to you should have stayed single.. really.

OKay.. end rant I guess. Just tired of people bashing spouses like that- I hear it everywhere, and that is just lame. Ugh. So in honor  of the greatness of my own spouse, I am gonna go cuddle up next to him, and enjoy that he is right here..  and should he read this.. should you read this hon, you totally rock. Greatest guy ever!!
