Ms. MO’s Mad Mad World

I’ve been watching “Major Dad” on Hulu everynight for the past four days. I watched it when it was first on but I was younger, not married to a fine soldier or realizing just how true a lot of the silliness on the show is. I think “The Major” is a tad over the top but I see how a 42 year old single Major in the Marie Corps might be a little too Hoorah. I have met my share of married Army guys that are too Hooah, so why not. I think it is kind of too much that his wife and the girls call him Major and refer to him as “The Major”. I have heard a lot of military make their children say Sir. Is that mainly a military thing? I don’t know I’ve been around it for twelve years and don’t have much to compare it too.

So two night ago the smallest G and I were layin’ up in my bed watching it together and it was the episode where The Major goes off to Central America on a combat mission. Little G and I didn’t say much while watching that episode until it continued and we watched the next episode. The girls were talking about how much they hate it, how worried Polly was etc. Then they finally said how long he was gone, ten days. Little G snorted and said “Ten Days! That’s It!” and looked me like pffft whatever.

I have to laugh at the show though because one day that will be my house. Three little girls, a wife that doesn’t exactly see his point of view or the Army’s, and one day he will be a Major. A Major pain… ha ha, bad joke. He’s not a pain, he’s my honey. I miss him.

The next day she told her sisters about it. Big Daughter G said “Ten days, we get excited when daddy will be home in two weeks! It probably took him four days to get there.” I shared the story with Maverick and he said ” I want to come home on the next episode. That’s a vacation, not a deployment.” I always wanted to live a prime time sitcom life. Speaking of my non-sitcom life, I have cleaning to do before I take off to Hobby Lobby. I hope ya’ll have a fun productive day. I’ll be sweating out at the barn tonight.
