I'm a whole mix of emotions atm
But I am going to rant. I'd do a small post about it on facebook, but it's about some of the other wives and I don't want them being directly insulted. I am peeved with them.
So here's the deal. I was stuck here for 3 months with NO ONE to talk to or go to for a friend here in Abilene. I was also very sick for 2 of those months and recovering that last. It was aweful and a friend here would have been nice during that time. Well no. ALL the wives decided to either visit family or move. visiting.. i understand... it's hard when your husband is gone and it's a good excuse to go bother the family for a while (if they are far away). But moving?!?!
So after 3 months my friend Brianna returns. YES... finally... we are like bread and butter now. We only really have each other to fall back on here in Abilene. Our closest friends and family are 4 1/2 and 6 hours away.
Now the thing about Brianna is that she has a truck AND an element. Two very roomy things to move things in. :/ All the other wives who moved away knows she has a truck and are slowly asking for favours from her. She is sooooo nice and a bit of a pushover towards her friends and I feel bad for her... These wives are waiting to come home till the last freakin MINUTE! Or even ... two of them are waiting until they've come home already. How fair is that for the husbands? "welcome back from your 6 months of hell... now lets find a house and move in..." :( Not very fair. Two wives I know are doing this. WHile another is waiting to move back here 5 days before the boys get home...and she is asking brianna for help moving in.
Now the reason it irks me soooo much. All three of these wives moved home with the family for free. They are collecting deployment money (400 at least) and bah (1000-1100) plus whatever kids they have (100-200 per kid). PLUS thier normal pay. No bills for 6 months. THat's 8k in their pocket for the entire deployment. Instead of inlisting our broke asses to help... use your FORTUNE made and hire some movers. The one moving back right before they get back actually makes 3k a month on her own... plus her husbands 3-4k a month... she is loaded. :/
maybe I've mooched off of people too much in the past...and it hits a sore spot for me to rely on other people, but if I were these people, I'd come back at the beginning of January, hire some movers to move things from storage (100 bucks... MAYBE 200...chump change concidering the amount they have saved in 5 months)... and I'd NOT bother the other wives for help.
One of the wives and her husband has asked both michael and brianna's husband to help out when they all get back...
Well screw that... i'm gonna spend the whole 2 weeks with my husband having a good time, not helping these very irresponsible people move into a new place cause they were too lazy to do it earlier.
Now I'd help if they came back early January. My time preparing for michael to come home isn't going to be as important then, but no... they are all waiting till the last minute or AFTER the fact.
grr grr grr
Learn to be responsible! ! ! And really... take care of your husbands by being prepared ahead of time. One month of being alone wont kill you...esspecially with your friends here!
Being alone for 3 months was miserable, but I did it!
