You know your a firefighters wife when..........
Your
Husband's wardrobe looks like this: non-descript bottoms paired with any
navy blue shirt/sweatshirt with a fire department logo on it.
Your
Husband's haircut is "nice and tight". So are his buns.
You
know the difference between a police siren and a fire siren.
Your
kids think the fire station is "Daddy's house".
You've received
more dalmation-themed collectibles than you thought humanly possible.
You
know that all of your smoke detectors work.
Your Husband will
not let you near the BBQ.
You can make 4 dozen cookies without a
recipe in 1.5 hours flat and have them delivered asap.
You know
that you always have a team of highly-trained ems professionals at the
ready (you know, in case a baby falls down the stairs or something).
You
know that it is faster and waaaay better to take the ambulance to the
hospital (NEVER go it solo, and actually WAIT in the waiting room!).
Your single friends are always aksing "are there any single firemen at
Hubby's work?".
Your children can make good use of vaccuum hoses
and rubber gloves.
Everybody knows a Firefighter, and will asume
that you know them too.
You find it hard to sleep when your Hubby
is at work.
You get severly angry when people don't pull over
for firetrucks and ambulances.
You've held more birthdays at the
fire station than should be allowed.
You get to listen to stories
about fires, mva's, and sprinkler systems, and ems calls
You've
seen Backdraft 40 million times and Ladder 49 10 million (but who can
get sick of staring at Joaquin Phoenix and John Travolta?).
You've
had some of the best holiday meals at the fire station.
You've
lost all sense of what a "weekend" really is due to your husband's crazy
schedule.
Your husband gets to go on field trips & preschool
once in a while.
All of the teachers want your husband to
"demonstrate" his skills for the class (yeah, right she just wants to
see him in his bunker gear).
Your kids dont know yesterday and tom, only "last day and next day"
At your baby shower at least half the presents are fire related even if
your having a girl.
Your kids are the only ones at school with 12 uncles, and they think every
kid they know is their cousin.
If daddys not home ask the kids where he is and your bond to hear "fire house" even if thats not where he really is!
You feel like the luckiest girl alive when he comes home off shift and sends your heart a-flutter
