You Know Your a Military Spouse When....
You Know Your a Military Spouse When....
-Someone asks when your Spouse will be home and you say July or August instead of 5 or 6pm
-You live on your own and by yourself more after you're married than before you were married.
-You know al...l of your Spouse's co-workers by their last name, ...and rarely know their first name. ...
-You say "I'm going to the commissary" instead of the "grocery store".
-You need your I.D to buy groceries
-Half of your wardrobe has some kind of Military insignia on it and once belonged to your Spouse.
-The sounds of helicopters, and Jets flying over your house shaking your windows, surprisingly soothes you!
-Your Spouse's work and dress clothes cost way more than yours do.
-You only write in pencil because EVERYTHING is subject to change.
-You know that a 2 month separation IS short, no matter what your civilian friends say.
-You know better than to go to the commissary between 11:30 and 1:30 or on a payday unless it's a life or death emergency.
-You know that any reference to "sand box" describes a deployment to Afghanistan, not your kid's backyard toys.
-You don't have to think about what time 21:30 is.
-You pick apart uniforms on TV and in the movies for being inaccurate with your Spouses'.
-When your Spouse says they get to "Sleep In", they are referring to 6:30am. -Moving is the SOP and you keep half your household goods in labeled totes.
-After dropping off your children at CYS, you meet at the ACS building, at 17:00, for you FRG meeting where the CG, in his ACU's, will give a briefing on the status of your soldier downrange at the FOB.
-You understand that sentence.
-You are asked to stop talking in acronyms and translate it all to English -Your child calls out "Daddy!" to everyone wearing camoflouge.
-Your survival tools are prayer and chocolate and your friends offer you both on a bad day.
-The national anthem makes you cry every time.
-Each day together as a family is precious.

America
I run a freakin' dog hotel. This is America, our latest boarder. Very sweet girl. Gets along well with my pack. She will be with us through the weekend.
Funny stuff from happyplace.com. Unintentionally Inappropriate Test Answers From Small Children. It says that the inappropriate answers are unintentional, but on a few of these, I beg to differ. Also, just how small are these children???
