Positive aspects of deployment

Deployment sucks and I spend a lot of my scant free time feeling sorry for myself (and some of my busy time too), so I decided to make a list of a few positive aspects of it. Here they are:

1) control of remote control 
2) not shaving
3) control of remote control
4) watching something dumb instead of serious political stuff (see numbers 1 and 3)
5) control of remote control
6) sleeping in the middle of the bed
7) control of remote control
8) not having to straighten up the place by 4pm, because he comes home around 6pm and needs to think the house looked like that all day
9) control of remote control
10) go a day (ok, a few days) without picking up toys or doing any cleaning 
11) control of remote control
12) hanging out in mismatched flannel pjs that make your ass look big while doing a facial 
13) control of remote control
14) drinking juice straight out of the carton. Who needs cups?
15) control of remote control
16) let the kid go to nap with sand on his head (and inside his pants)
17) control of remote control
18) not have to go to Lowes every weekend
19) control of remote control
20) eat lunch at 9am and an ice cream at noon, and no one looks at you funny 
21) control of remote control
22) reading books late at night with all the lights on and not under the covers with an iPad 
23) control of remote control
24) looking like shit and not worrying about it
25) control of remote control
26) expanding comfort zone as a pregnant mommy alone with kid (e.g. Hitting the highway sans destiny, just because it's pretty out) 
27) control of remote control
28) gaining self confidence and growing some balls by managing to do manly things around the house (e.g. Jump starting his idle car so you can move other heavy machinery from the garage to work on the yard)
29) control of remote control
30) Being able to laugh at how overwhelming it can get (e.g. Projectile vomiting, exorcist style, in the middle of the living room from morning sickness -- that lasts all day -- while whiny, teething kid smacks your pregnant belly for attention)
31) did I mention I get to watch what I want on tv? K
