The deployment gremlins
I have talked about the deployment gods being crazy, I have talked about the deployment itch, but now I must address the deployment gremlins. These are not the gremlins that get into your electronics and mess everything up while your soldier is away. No, that would be under the deployment gods must be crazy category.
No these gremlins make common, everyday house noises sound super scary. Last night was my first night alone since Mr. Hooah! was here for the past few weeks on convalescent care. Now, granted he was on crutches and nursing a nasty broken bone the whole time, I still felt safer with him here. Then last night… suddenly the noise coming from the ceiling fan was a burglar trying to get in the window. The creeks in the house were coming from the 10 burglars who made it into my home while I accidentally dozed for 30 minutes. I am never quite sure why they would break into my home. It’s a nice home, but there are other homes around that probably have a lot more jewelry and the line in them. Plus this is a great neighborhood. I could yell and have 3 neighbors at my house in no time flat — some with weapons.
“What? What was that?” Oh never mind that was just the tree outside my bedroom window dancing in the wind and rain.
Jeez oh Pete. I feel like a little girl when I am in my bed at night all alone. I was at least practicing my kick boxing moves in my head while I was laying there waiting for the first bit of solid evidence to appear that would indicate that I was, indeed, getting ready to be attacked.
Mr. Hooah! I may need to get a night light. That or a baseball bat. Maybe both.
