After a tiny hiatus (nope no exaggerations here!)I am picking up my electronic quill again. Did you miss me? Ahem. I remember my debate coach admonishing me to never ask a question I didn't know the answer to. I suppose asking either of my loyal readers if they missed me after a year long absence might fall in that category.
Well here is middle America life is chugging along. Hubs is off defending freedom and teaching 4th century time travelers what democracy means and why it would be a good thing, so I am left to keep the home front running smoothly.
Please try to keep the audible gasps to a minimum. Believe it or not I actually have numerous skills and a temperament well suited to this sort of thing. Like what? Well, for example I know how to hide chocolate in places even a bloodhound can't find to have for emergencies. I am a highly trained domestic engineer. Well, ok, I have a bunch of them on speed dial in my iPhone. Yes! There is an app for that!
You know us "supermoms" can home-school, keep house, and send weekly care packages without even breaking a sweat! How? Well mostly we fake it. I've found that if you bluff hard enough for long enough sometimes it actually works. Of course sometimes you end up crying in the bathroom because your stamp wasn't straight and you ate the last Circus Peanut last night! That's the thing about being left behind during a deployment. You can be "fine" and so opposite of fine you might be treading on the coattails of completely freaking insane in the space of two heart beats. One minute you are brave and steady and the next you are sniffling over some stupid Hallmark commercial.
I get that our military has a vital function in preserving world stability. But couldn't we just send over a copy of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and a few of the federalist papers, and maybe an iPhone with the "create your own stable government" app? Isn't that enough?
