Whew!

Lieutenant gets off work at 4:00pm today so I decided to surprise him. I jumped out dragged my butt out of bed as soon as fifteen minutes after he left for work, did a couple of homework assignments, perused the internet, stared at the clock and even attempted to fall back asleep. My life is interesting, is it not? But that's not the surprise, me being lazy. The surprise was me watering the garden, doing the dishes, cleaning up the mounds of dog poop that were piling up since he left to pick me up from Arizona. Oh! Also dusting and polishing the staircase, which in about twenty minutes when they're less oily to where I won't slip and break something important, I'll be able to take out all the trash. So I guess today wasn't such a lazy day after all. I did have bugs crawling on me in the garden, I did step on a rogue puppy landmine...barefoot, I did squeal and run hot water and a quarter of a bar of soap down my foot, and I did drop the aerosol can of wood polish on my big toe. But really, when it comes down to it, I remember, I am a part of a team. I am the fiancee of an Airman, who works hard everyday to make sure that my family, friends, the rest of the citizens of our nation are protected. Chores and daily mishaps are worth it when you can have what we have everyday.
