The Good Lord was creating a model for military wives and was into his sixth day of overtime when an angel appeared. She said, "Lord, you seem to be having a lot of trouble with this one. What's wrong with the standard model?"
The Lord replied, "Have you seen the specs on this order? She has to be completely independent, possess the qualities of both father and mother, be a perfect hostess to four or 40 with an hour's notice, run on a sip of black coffee, handle every emergency imaginable without a manual, be able to carry on cheerfully, even if she is pregnant and has the flu, and she must be willing to move to a new location 10 times in 17 years. And oh yes, she must have six pairs of hands."
The angel shook her head, "Six pair of hands? No way!"
The Lord continued, "Don't worry, we will make other military wives to help her. And we will give her an unusually strong heart so it can swell with pride in her husband's achievements, sustain the pain of separations, beat soundly when it is overworked and tired, and be large enough to say 'I understand' when she doesn't and say, 'I love you' regardless".
"Lord," said the angel, touching his arm gently, "Go to bed and get some rest. You can finish this tomorrow".
"I can't stop now", said the Lord, "I am so close to creating something unique. Already this model heals herself when she is sick, can put up six unexpected guests for the weekend, wave goodbye to her husband from a depot, pier or runway apron and understand why it's important that he leave."
The angel circled the model of the military wife, looked at it closely and sighed, "It looks fine, but it's too soft". "She might look soft", replied the Lord, "but she has the strength of a lion. You would not believe what she can endure."
Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek of the Lord's creation.
"There's a leak", she announced. "Something is wrong with the construction. You're trying to put too much into this model."
The Lord appeared offended at the angel's lack of confidence.
"What you see is not a leak", he said, "It's a tear."
"A tear? What is it there for?", asked the angel.
The Lord replied, "It's for joy, sadness, pain, disappointment, loneliness, pride and a dedication to all the values that she and her husband hold dear."
"You are a genius!" exclaimed the angel.
The Lord looked puzzled and replied, "I didn't put it there."
Who am I? well, that entails a rather complex answer.
Im a mother of 3. I started having kids at a young age, which I dont regret. cause at 35 my oldest will be moving out. haha.
Im married to a Navy Man. I'm not looking for anyone else. so go away if that's what you want.
I can't make up my mind. L O L, that's nothing new tho. I have an extreme low self-esteem. I only speak the truth, unless I have to lie. I despritly need help... with a lot of things.
I have "chemical imbalances" which is irrepible. Sux.
My husband and I are two peas in a pod. He finishes my sentences and I begin his. We love eachother unconditonally and we are the best thing for one another.
I'd give anything to be angelina jolie's nanny.
I was born in New Jersey , but "grew up" in california . SO I can't really claim to be a jersey or cali girl, i'm sorta stuck inbetween, I have good morals but a little stuck up and 2-faced. I know... it sucks.
I black out when I'm angry, but I blame my mother for that. haha. jk ma, I love you!
I have only a few friends, but they're very close friends of mine. I cherish my friends like fine china, I would never do anything to hurt them.
I am extremely emotional , that's just me.
