Like how I celebrated the final arrival of this:
No, not the child responsible for most of my gray hair, I meant Pool time! Spring!
Also I needed to thank you all for your very kind and supportive comments and pass on the news that #1 Son's records are officially sealed, YAY! (there's still the matter that it occurred and it could still hold him back, but I'm hanging onto the "sealed" part).
There's also the opportunity to eat my words.
I wonder what nagging actually tastes like?
You know that "Behind every great man..." quote? Well, I take this "great woman" responsibility very seriously, so I nagged like nobody when the Hubby was supposed to be preparing for his Master Sergeant test.
I pestered him when I thought he spent too much time on his iphone. I vexed him when he did ridiculous internet searches for hours and I scolded him when he played "See how long it takes me to flip through all 600 channels on the telly".
He didn't study.

I may have mentioned that I wouldn't feel sympathy for him not making it either.
Well Lucky Louie passed and is now a MSgts (that little "s" means select and he has a "line number" for when he gets to sew on that extra stripe).
What a great way to go into the Memorial Weekend.
I'm proud of the Sexy Guy and appreciate everything he does to provide the lifestyle that we, as Americans enjoy.
To all who served, are serving or will be serving, THANK YOU.

I have to go find some ketchup now to go with my humble pie.
good news all around
ReplyDeleteCongrats to him! (I mean on not getting nagged anymore as well as his great accomplishment.)
ReplyDeleteHey! You were just doing your job!! Well done husband. Congrats and thanks

I'm going with the fact that he studied on the sly just so that it could *look* like the victory is his. It's totally your nagging that did the job.
ReplyDeleteI've eaten the humble pie too. Very glad you got to join the club. :)
ReplyDeleteI've eaten crow on more than one occasion. I usually wash it down with chocolate or ice cream though instead of ketchup. ;)
ReplyDeleteHurray for pool season! And congratulations to the Mister on his accomplishment!
Thank you to him and all those like him who serve. God Bless them all.
Hope you have a nice weekend with your family.
I had a similar experience with my husband. I find humble pie tastes best with a little sugar on it! Congrats to him! I am so glad I found your blog and thanks for becoming a follower of mine.
ReplyDeleteThat is one sweet-faced girl! And congratulations you your guy :-))))
ReplyDeleteLots to celebrate this long weekend.
Enjoy,

That is really good news about your son. I have been thinking about him and wondering what he could do to get that silly record out of the picture. Hooray! Keeping my fingers crossed. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your Sexy Guy! What a freaking stud!!! Very impressive.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
And yes, a GREAT way to go into Memorial Day weekend. :)
Great news, I bet there are worse things you could be eating humble pie for. ANd I'm sure your nagging was at least 50% responsible for the extra stripe
ReplyDeleteOh excellent! Congrats to your Sexy Guy and I'm so happy to hear that this ridiculous "record" is sealed.
ReplyDeleteWaaa Hooo's all around! Now go swim!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the both of you. That's awesome.
ReplyDeleteI just read the previous post about your son, that is just SO insane. I'm glad they have sealed the records, I pray it will help.
Jeri: All is good with your world for now, which is a good thing. Congrats to son & hubby! I'm glad your son could get those files sealed. I might have had something similar to that in my youth... or not. I was a bit of a wild child.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, pool season has arrived! Yay! Now you can wear their little butts out swimming every day. Ahhhh Summer!
I am crossing my fingers for son #1 - I bet those boys he did that too, barely think about the event occuring. Should be sealed and taken off!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Hubby, hope it works out for you guys and I hope
Just wanted to say thank you to your husband and your family for the sacrifices you all make so we can all have the freedoms and independence that we experience every day. Very much appreciated...
