there was a young girl who had stars in her eyes and fell in love with a man in uniform. They wed and moved to Germany. The man in uniform deployed for 12 months to Bosnia. Said Soldier returned to happy wife and they had a beautiful bouncing baby girl. The happy couple moved to Fort Lewis, Washington. There they spent their days hiking, biking, and being happy. The joyful couple decided that baby girl #1 was almost 4, it was time to add to their happiness. After a JRTC adventure, the happy couple added another bouncing baby girl. The now happy family of 4 continues the army adventure. The happy family moves to "The Great Place" (anyone currently stationed here probably knows where I hear that every day) and the cute Soldier deploys to Iraq for 12 months. During this lonely time, bouncing baby girl #2 manages to wipe poop on the wall, empty a 2 gallon bottle of olive oil and mix it with a Sam's size box of detergent, coat herself and the couch in desitin, and wreak havoc everywhere. Soldier returns to his happy, but tired family. The once young girl decides two is such fun, why not add to the excitement and shortly before Soldier deploys, she finds out she is expecting baby #3.
With stars still in her eyes, she sends her Soldier off to Iraq again for 12 months on tour #2. Bouncing baby boy arrives while he is home on R&R. 5 months later he returns home for good. With no stars in her eyes, said now old girl, races Soldier to nearest hospital to be fixed. So now fixed Soldier heads off to Iraq for the third time. Life is plugging along...
Beautiful bouncing baby girl #2 has managed to flood the house. Her brothers room had water all in it, the carpet is soaked, the hallway is flooded......and amazingly the bathroom is dry. Now tired old wife has three children nestled into bed, 25 soggy towels--yes, I have that many on hand for reasons such as this--and what once would have made her cry, now makes her laugh.
And through her tears of laughter she is checking out goarmy.com in the hopes that she can deploy when her Soldier returns home.

Yes, I reside at the (not so) Great Place. At least it wasnt the drain hole in the laundry room that overflowed and coated the floor with poop!
Too funny! At least you can laugh at it now cause I don't know if I'd be able to.
A laugh a minute in your household it seems, and all of this while teaching other peoples kids. Just remember these events so that you can embarrass them in front of their friends, when they get older.
Is your life ever boring? Forget the deployment, I say you should head for the Bahamas ;)
We're stuck at "JRTC" and it's not so adventurous when you live here!
ooh let me know if you can deploy. I'm all for being the one who leaves a time or two!
Jesus...Your narrative had me thinking you were pregnant again! lol...
too funny this is really insane
I can laugh it at now
