The Harsh Reality of Hubby's Job Just Floated Through The Door

Cpl. Mayhem was on duty yesterday so he arrived at home early this morning with the most interesting looking box.

Of course if I told you it was a little blue Tiffany's box you would all be wondering "Girl! What are you complaining about!?"

But alas! That little blue box was not what I saw. Instead a big, brown, metal kit box was waiting at the door alongside my husband.

"What on earth is that?"

My husband gives me his sneaky grin that he always does when he knows what he is about to tell me will make me upset.

"Are those your tans?"

"Yes Vanessa, can I come in?"

"You can! The box stays outside!"

Cpl. Mayhem chuckles at me. "Why baby?"

"Seriously! The box stays outside! It's making me sad!"

The reality of him going overseas just hit me. And it sucks!

Later days!
