Whats For Dinner??

So I know I'm not the only military wife that doesn't eat the greatest when their husband is not home... and by not eating the greatest, I mean, well lets just say my meals aren't balanced..

When Shaun was deployed I would eat cereal, sandwiches, soup, frozen meals, umm I guess that's about it. So when ever he tells me he is going to be in the field or it is going to be a late night I just figure I'll eat cereal or a sandwich or something no big deal. 

And here is where I'm going with this..
Yesterday Shaun told me "tomorrow is going to be a late night" so I checked the pantry, saw I had soup and thought to my self, ok dinner for tomorrow is on.

well tomorrow is today and at about 6 pm tonight I'm sitting on the couch ignoring the fact that most of the dishes are dirty piled in the sink, I'm catching up on my trash tv, and I hear the garage door open.. hmmm.. I look at the clock and see that it's not to late.. weird I wonder who is here??

Heyy baby!! YUP Shaun came home earlier than he thought and the first words out of his mouth were "what's for dinner?" I looked at him with two thoughts in my head.. 1) there is only one can of soup and 2) I hope he doesn't look at the sink.  I told him.. umm.. I don't really have dinner plans, I wasn't going to eat, you said you were coming home late..  When your marine comes home from work he comes home with a hunger of 500 men I SWEAR!! so I felt bad, so I told him there were left overs in the fridge :) I am such a great wife! lol.. Oh well..

I know I am not the only military wife out there who eats the way I do when the husband is not home.. how do I know this you ask? well most of my friends that I have met through out this crazy military life think that Oreos are a perfect appetizer to a wonderful dinner of a whole bag of unwashed grapes.  Yup if you're a military wife I'm pretty sure you've been there lol

So to anyone who reads this that knows a military wife please feed her, she's hungry and I can tell you the lucheable that she's eating doesn't actually taste that good.


PS: Thank you to my wonderful neighbors Ashlyn and Ryan in California that fed me almost everyday while Shaun was deployed
