Post R & R Survival Kit

Posted on May 14, 2012 | by Bridget | 36 Comments

Sniff, sniff, sniff…Dallas is gone again. We had an excellent time over R & R and I’m glad he got to come back and visit, but now is the hard part: recovery. It’s emotional and physical. I’ll probably tell you about the real emotional part someday. (Once I figure out how to cope with it.)

The physical part was made loads easier with a little help from my friends Brooke and Sara. The morning after Dallas left they presented me with these fabulous gifts.

I think every Military wife needs them.

Well yes, yes that is Barry Manilow’s Greatest Hits. In record form. No, I don’t own a record player – but it made me smile. Smiling was absolutely necessary the day after Dallas left.

You’re probably wondering what the other gift is. A handkerchief to dry my tears? A scarf to keep me warm on cold nights?

No.

This might help…

I know what you’re thinking. Wouldn’t the draw-string panties with “Let’s Ride” emblazoned on them have been more useful during R & R?

Wrong. Because they also came with this…

And a secret pocket…

Ladies and gentlemen (mostly ladies) I give you the vag pack, for all your post R & R (or weekend away, or drunken night without kids) needs!!

    We are just looking out for our girl. Plus it just goes to show that it pays to know crafty people. Next we are going to make the tube sock bra. I pretty sure Sara and I are going to make millions!

  4. Brandee says:

    Whoever came up with that is genius, I tell you. There should be one in every household, and two in military ones. ;) You have great friends.

  5. Hahahaha! Love it!

    Now I gotta get one! That way, when my husband calls me “frigid” – he can mean literally. What aisle do your friends go shopping in anyway?

  9. Stephanie says:

    Ha!! I must be doing something wrong, because I’ve only, maybe, needed that kind of help once!

    Hope it’s not a regift.

  13. Jessica says:

    The first comment from Amber is exactly what I was going to say.

  14. meredith says:

    LOL! That is good stuff and probably feels good on normal days too. Just think you can multi-purpose it…wrap around your head for headache relief, etc…

    O.M.G! So I guess the Barry Manillow record is to get you in the mood to use the vag pack ? So what gets you in the mood to want to use the vag pack ???

  16. Greg says:

    I was laughing at the Barry Manilow, now I’m just in tears. Deployments are tough, I remember. Everything will be good soon.
