You know, too, that the baby population in military hospitals explodes 9 months

after the end of a deployment! We had a Navy wives group that made little

" Welcome Aboard " gift kits for newborns, and everyone would be VERY busy getting

these ready every 9 months after a WestPac cruise ended. (Those ladies crochet

their fingers to the bone making blankets, little jackets & hats!)

I must be the only military wife in America who is deep-down hoping for enough

of a war to put my husband to work. He hasn't had a job in 2 years, but he's in

the Army Reserves, so if his unit finally gets called up, we will have full-time

Army pay & benefits. Terribly selfish of me, I know. I don't really want war and

all that goes with it...

Lyn,

You hit the nail on the head with that last line. I can say, though,

that I grew up really fast and learned to do alot for myself. May be

one of the biggest reasons that I couldn't stand the thought of

getting so big that I became dependent on everyone else to do what I

had always done for myself. That was one of the main reasons I had

this surgery. To darned independent!
