Reality Check!

I logged on to Facebook this morning to post a whiny "poor me" status because my wonderful husband was working and it's a Saturday!  Granted, this is nothing new.  He's been working Saturdays for over a year now, so I should be used to it.  Anyway, I logged on to Facebook, and read through all of the new posts on my homepage.  I have a few friends who are military wives, and some of them had posted about the struggles of their husbands being on deployment. 

Well, that caused me to think twice about my whiny status.  I was reminded that I am very blessed that my husband has a job, that he gets to come home at the end of his shift, and that he gets 3-4 days off each week that we can spend just hanging out doing things as a family.  I have no idea what it's like to not have him home for months on end, and be worried for his life.  Saturdays all of a sudden don't seem so bad.

Thank you all of you who are in the military, and are married to military!  You have sacrificed more than I can know, and I am so grateful for your sacrifices for our country!
