You know the deployment is over when:

-you start to shave your legs again.
-you get to bed before 2am..
-you use more than the
microwave to cook
-you trip over boots left in the
middle of the hall
-the laundry load triples!
-Your king size bed suddenly feels small
-You are eating a full course
dinner every night
-you can't find the remote
-the cell phone is no longer
a vital accessory
-there are strange-smelling ABUs and PT
gear in your laundry room
-the TV seems to be stuck on either
Spike TV or ESPN
-the garage suddenly becomes a place for
social gatherings
- it is no longer necessary to buy stamps in
bulk, or hoard flat rate boxes
-the closet you finally got cleared out
is in shambles again
-you go to make the bed and there is someone
else in it besides
the kids or the pets
-the alarm has suddenly been
readjusted to 5am
-you don't eat leftovers anymore because
there are none
-computers are no longer a lifeline
-the postmaster no longer recognizes
you by name
-Your answering machines no longer say "If
this is _______ I love you!!!
--suddenly you have little hairs
all over your sink
-When you stop buying groceries with instructions
such as "Heat on high for 90 seconds
and stir"
-You have to check the toilet seat status before
using it at 3am
