When is it my turn?

July 31st will be my wedding anniversary. I will be married for 9 years. Nine years of a roller coaster ride of emotions. The first 3 years were ordinary...married, moved in together, bought house, had baby...all great things...then the wonderful husband decides to make a life changing decision even though I told him NO...not just no......but a, "what the hell are you doing, NO!!!!!" I was pregnant he joined the Army..to do his part, etc. I don't want to re-live it, but it is in my blogs from a million years ago...if you are interested.

Anyway, years progress...sell house, get pregnant, he goes away with the army, go through pregnancy alone, deliver alone...all the fun things...again, if interested just look at my posts from before.

BUT NOW...he is changing his career....his new venture will make him a pilot. He will give up his law enforcement career, which I am OK with but his school is costing over 70,000 and will take him away for 3 MONTHS!!!!!!! Again he will be away for 3 months somewhere like Arizona or Texas. Did I mention the 70,000.00???

So I asked him..."When is it my turn??"

He said, "I never stop you from doing anything"....
No, he does not but who is going to take care of my children? His response was typical. "Ask your mom or my mom to watch them". Ummmm dopey, they are our children to raise not theirs.

So another year goes by where I put law school off. But come September of 09...I will be in school and after my ultimatum, he will be out of the army.

Boy don't I sound like a cranky lady???

The question is.....Is he selfish, or does he really think this is benefiting our family?
