You know what IFSTA,
IAFF, SCBA, WSFTA, and ARFF stand for.
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've eaten more gas-producing foods in a 24
hour period than any sane woman should (unless she's a firefighter).
You know the difference between a police siren
and a fire siren.
Your kids think the fire station is
"Daddy's house" or "Where daddy hangs with his friends"
You know that all of your smoke detectors work.
Your Husband will not let you near the BBQ pit.
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 asking "are
there any single firemen at Hubby's work?".
Your children can make good use of vacuum hoses
and rubber gloves.
Everybody knows a Firefighter, and will assume that you know them too.
You find it hard to sleep when your Hubby is at
work.
You get severely 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 in my case, sprinkler systems.
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).
You feel like the luckiest girl alive when he
comes home off shift and sends your heart a-flutter.
Happy Father's Day to 'OUR' favorite Firefighter!
We love you!
We love our Fire station Family Fun Day's!
We love you!
