Did you know that there is a "Murphy's Law" for deployments? Well, there is. I think it goes something like this: Anything that can possibly fall apart in the house while hubby is deployed WILL. :) So far, I've been fairly lucky (knock on wood!!).
I do, however, have a recurring problem that only occurs when Hubby is gone. My sprinkler system. Last deployment one of my sprinklers would crap out about once a month. Every time someone came to visit, they found themselves in my yard digging holes and fixing the broken sprinkler heads.
And, do you think that in the 8 months that hubby was home any of those sprinklers broke?! Nope. Not one.
So, you can imagine how "UN"surprised and COMPLETELY annoyed I was last Thursday when I realized that one of my sprinklers was broken.
Interestingly enough, I realized my sprinkler was broken the exact DAY that my sister and her hubby were arriving into town. Hmm... de ja vue? People visiting.. and fixing sprinklers??
Well, I decided to turn over a new leaf and handle this one on my own. I'll keep you posted on how it turns out :)
