From a Facebook friend...

You know your in a relationship with a pilot when…

Your bedroom has a half packed/unpacked suitcase in it whenever your partner is home...

No matter what you are doing with them they have to stop and watch a plane fly over and try to identify it!

When you tell people you are married to an airline pilot it's more like "omg! How does that work? What does he fly, you must to get fly a lot.... people generally assume you lead a glamorous life with the ability to travel anywhere you want... HA! As if!

Your friends think you have an imaginary partner, and secretly think you're a bit bonkers LOL

You can look forward to him coming home.........love that feeling.......

Your friends and family think it is strange that you don’t know where you husband is going and that you don’t keep a schedule of his overnights. You know your pilot will call you.

Your conversation before you husband leaves is .. “is this a 3 day or a 4 day. Am or PM?

You actually know what, “clear left, clear right”, “trip-trade”,“dead head”, and other pilot lingo means and you begin to talk to your friends that way.

Now how many of you can relate to this life we lead? It definitely has it's up's and downs!

LOL!LOL! Ha! You nailed it! May I add...

You can also identify SFO, SLC, DFW...

People think you are rolling in the dough. Little do they know you could qualify for food stamps and have a million bucks in student loans to pay.

You are the mom and the dad- and when dad is home you are on a totally different schedule.

Your hubby brings home "the good soaps" as little tokens from staying in the "nice" hotels.

I may have to steal/paste this to my blog! You are too funny!

hahaha I love it! There's also:

When asked at school by their kindergarden teacher what they did over their Christmas break, your child replies, "We didn't get to go to (insert destination) because there were too many HK's.

You pay 2 rents (mortgages) each month. One for your regular home, and one for your husband's crashpad.

You are one amazing travel agent. You know every possible airport to fly through to get to your destination when plan A's flight was too full.

Thanks for sharing this Connie!! It's right on!!

You give him a haircut, but the next time you see him he needs another haircut.
