4 day Training holiday

Well, my hubby has had the last 4 days off, thanks to a Brigade training holiday. What is funny, after all this time in the Army, I've never had another spouse ask me "what is a training holiday?" Only thing I can say is its the Army's way of giving additional days of free leave, because their troops in the field have trained so hard. Sometimes we get 3 days, sometimes we get 4 days, sometimes it includes Thursday, sometimes Monday. It all depended on if there was a Holiday like Presidents Day or Easter. But there was nothing on the calendar this week, so I presume it was just becuase the field time days were so long and so many. But what flabergasts me is that this still isn't enough for some wives. They forget that their soldier is going to NTC and will be gone for 30-45 days straight, with little to no contact. And he'll be getting deployed soon also, and there is a whole 'nother set of issues to go along with that. But I'll save those for another day.

While my hubby was home, I've not gotten my Wii workouts in, we've eaten so so bad, watched alot of softball, since my daughter plays and I can't get a lick of homework done while anyone else is home. Just call me strange. Oh and did I mention, we laid around the house, like I don't do enough of that on a daily basis. And I have suffered every day with severe headaches, which is not normal for me. So yay! But you know what is the craziest of it all, I still have dishes to do, laundry to do and food to make, because no one wants to fix food for themselves. They ask me what I want, and I say nothing. But they still somehow mind control me into making them sandwiches. Then when I make something different, they ask "mmm, what's that?" I say MINE! Hubby is home and I'm still doing it all. I think my biggest peeve is.....trash. I empty it cuz its full and I come back in and put in a new bag. Anyone else empties it, guess what NO BAG!

Well this 4 day is almost over, and I can start another week again. Right now, I'm laying on the bed, with a headache and nothing good on the limited cable upstairs, while hubby lays on the couch, watching NASCAR which he inevitably falls asleep during. UGH!!
