Chapter 9 "Deployment 'Housekeeping' For Dummies" 3/35/2012


Military women have this amazing ability to make lemonade out of lemons, to find the silver lining if you will.

Today, I was joking with a fellow wife who will soon be welcoming her husband home.  That in itself is an amazingly wonderful thing, but we find the silver lining while they are gone and one of the very best ones is one that I am sure would make Schick and Bic quiver.  When your husband is away you don’t think twice about ‘housekeeping’, err, shaving.  I cannot tell you how many of my friends have been shaved, plucked, and waxed just days before their significant other returns.

Personally, I partake in all the “silver linings” that are available to me:  sole control of the thermostat and remote, eating cereal for dinner, staying up late and lingering in bed in the morning, letting the laundry pile up, and of course, not shaving for days on end!
