Oh how I hate the men in blue!!!! It seems like I have been patient forever yet still its never ending. My hubby's reservist that is!!!!! Its been two loooong weeks now and the worse has yet to come. For the past two weeks at least he was released for the weekend but this coming week, he won't even be back for the weekend. just a miserable day off on Thursday and then Friday morning he has to book in again. What luck!!!!!
I was berating our hard luck and the unfairness of it all to The DON when he related the story of his squad mate. Apparently they were married on the 1st of January 2005, had their honeymoon cancelled because they booked a beach resort in Phuket and the Tsunami made the honeymoon impossible. (and they had already made full payment!!!)and then 12 days later the husband had to go for reservist for in-camp-training. Ok now our situation doesn't seem too bad. At least we had a whole lotta fun in Paris and we had time to ourselves, albeit only for a few days, before The Don had to go. Suddenly in comparison, it felt like I didn't have anything to complain about.
Its funny how we think we are havin the worst luck in the world and then you hear someone else's plight and you think how lucky you are.
Well... I guess I've just got to make the best out of it. At least I get the chance to catch up with my girlfriends and read up all the books I have been dying to finish and basically just chill!!!! After all, when else will I get this chance when THE DON passes over ALL his ATM cards, credit cards and cheque books (signed!!) for me to hold. (Actually I have strict instructions to only use in cases of emergencies but emergencies can take many varried forms like a "craving for new shoes emergency" hehehe)
My good fren n neighbour LIZANOOR is in the same plight and together we even contemplated setting up a Reservist Wives' Club. We'll have separate sections for laundry guides & ironing guides and one section for "How to stay sane while your hubby is away (esp if u have kids)!!!" We'll even hold shopping excursions and seminars on the best sales in town....
