Happy Father's Day!

Today is yet another one of those holidays we miss with our loved ones.
For some its a very special day that reminds us how precious life is and how wonderful the sound of a childs laughter.
For others, its a reminder that maybe you should have listened to your wife and used a condom.
Being an Army wife, of course my husband isn't home to celebrate being a father. He won't be here to receive 1000 homemade pictures, where he has to pretend he knows what they drew. He won't be here to hear his youngest yell randomly "HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!" for the next 2 weeks. But most of all, he just won't be here.
In my attempt to find a decent Father's day gift to send to Afghanistan. I thought I would do an internet search. Finding things that are appropriate for mail to this desolate part of the world can prove nearly impossible. So I logged onto my computer, opened AOL Search and typed FATHERS DAY MILITARY.
What did my search results yield?....Join the US Army. So needless to say, my husband is getting a card.
My attempt to be thoughtful, will inadertently result in my enlistment into the Army. I'm not saying thats not a decent gift, however its probably better left to someone like my husband. Giving a rifle to someone like me and placing me in a warzone, is probably not the best Father's Day gift I could give. I would probably shoot myself in the foot and make everyday a Father's Day.
I'm that girl that can watch a scary movie, then scream when the bread pops out of the toaster.

So the moral of todays blog: Do not join the military, when you can send a card. Listen to your wives, she knows whats best and HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
