And my heart breaks.....

As a military wife, you get conditioned to a lot of things.  You learn to make do.  You learn to accept the fact that the mission will always come before the family. But there's one thing that you never quite get used to and it hurts just as much every single time, no matter if they're go…

Quick heads up on the comments section......

I was using Disqus for the comments but all of a sudden it went beserk and I couldn't see anything, it was also leaving out some of the comments, so I've decided to just remove it altogether and stick with the old Blogger comments platform. Those of you who have left comments through Disqus…

When the going gets tough............

the tough wants to run away. *sigh* I consider myself a pretty tough cookie, as far as tough cookies go, whatever that means.   And as much as I've grown used to this military life, I think that there are things that as a military wife you never quite get a grasp on. Or maybe that's not t…

A little windy

but I'm not going to complain. It actually brings down our horrid high temperatures and makes you not want to run away to an igloo after being in the back yard for 5 minutes. I was up bright and early this morning, like early on a weekend for me, 6:30am.  I know, I know, I look forward to the w…

Counting the minutes and hours.....

and not in that good way that you do when you have something exciting happening. I mean more in the sense of cherishing every second of every day until hubby leaves for his TDY.  Ugh, I think it's one part, or THE part of military life that you never quite get used to. It's pretty quiet her…
