David and Goliath

The most frustrating thing about being a military spouse is the lack of control over your lives. You never know when you are going to have time with your husband, what he is going to be doing, and if something ever goes wrong he can't get angry or complain. And we have recently realized that you never know when someone else's mistake will cause you not to get paid.

Things are not that dismal though thanks to our savings. It is just more frustrating than anything just cause you can't get mad at anyone. No one can get fired or introuble or reimburse us. It is like biting your tongue when you know you are right. It is funny that David has sacrificed his life and our life together to protect what this country stands for, and in doing so we lose so many rights. It is ironic.

But I know that David loves his work. He enjoys supporting our country in this way, and I support him in what ever he does. So in that way we enjoy our lives attached to the military. And they really take care of David. But no so much me or any other spouse. But this is just our life and we have to deal with it I guess, but when stuff like this happens while David is out to sea it is so frustrating. I can't do anything about it because it is all on the boat.

Things could be worse. At least our money is coming... eventually.
