My husband says that when he was lying in a ditch in the dessert during the first Gulf War and couldn't get up for anything, that he promised himself that he would NEVER wait to go to the bathroom again when he got back to civilization.
This does not explain the TREMENDOUS amount of time he spends reading, hiding in the bathroom but it does make it harder to argue with.
We got up at 5:30 yeasterday morning so my BRAVE Veteran husband could have surgery on the elbow he wounded in the war. And by war, I mean the war with our children that had him changing thousands of diapers in 6 years and resulted in Diaper elbow. (I keep telling him he needs a better story.)
We're both exhausted and he's jacked up on percocet so there will be no "Happy Veteran's Day - let me show you my appreciation" sex (at least not tonight) but I did want to take a moment to recognize him and all of the brave men and women who have made sacrifices to keep us safe.
Thank you for your service.
Love,
Kit
You married a man in uniform? No wonder you have such a great sex life :)

While neither my dad or husband are veterans, both of my grandfathers fought in WWII. My G-pa D was even an early version of a Navy SEAL. I wrote about them for Veteran's Day as well. http://danceswithchaos.wordpress.com/2010/11/11/why-im-lucky-to-exist-my-veteran-grandfathers/
My DH had surgery in the spring for a hernia and it was like having a 3rd child for several days - so my sympathies on the doped up, out of commission DH.
At least that elbow should be back to good working condition soon. :-)

I'm glad my husband doesn't read your blog, because right now he's happy with "Thank you for your service take out pizza and beer". I'm way too exhausted (and pregnant) for "Thank you for your service sex".

If I had a facebook account, I'd totally "like" this.
