Left over....

Can someone explain to me why military wife's use other military wife's as left over friends? We had a combined battalion meeting and I was looking for a seat in a very small, hot, and smelly room, and this wife came up to me and started chatting.......and I brushed it off. The funny thing about this encounter is.....this wife sees me once a month and says no more then two word to me at a time, and now she wanted to chat because she counter-apart was missing? I'm not really fond for being a left over friend when your "other" friends left you by yourself. I feel that if you want to build a friendship then you should make the time when others are around and when they are not. But how likes left overs anyhow.....

Military Wife

I was sent an email that talks about "us" military wife's......I laughed, cried, and was very happy to know that other wives like myself are always feeling the pinch of moving, meeting new people, and learning new jobs when we PCS with our husbands. And the best part is we know that we are strong, fearless, loving, caring, and a Jake-Of-All Trades.....and our kids see it all. That's the best because we are teaching the next generation to stand on their our through thick and thin.

Why him and not me?

When going on post for a doctor's visit or an eye exam.....why is it that our husbands get better service then us? I was waiting in the waiting room and a soldier was called and the nurse said, "good morning sir and how is your morning been?" That same nurse called my name and I said," good morning" and she just looked at me and smiled......she just smiled!! Can you believe that....I thought to myself !!YOU MEAN OLD BAG!! But I just smiled back and waited in another waiting room for my doctor how had the bed side manner of a fly. Why my him and not me??

What A Week!

Hey there blogger fans....today's post will be short. This week has been a bear of a week and next week will be a BEAR too!! Do you ever fill yourself being stretched thin. And the problem is you can't say,"NO MORE!" Well that's my problem...I feel if I can't help in [a] way then I dropped the ball. So I guess I'll try my advice this time and say, "no more today, and I'll see you later."

Is the grass greener on the other side?

When we look at our present situation....job, friends, or family do you find your self wondering is the grass greener on the other side of the hill? Today I saw a 4 year old walking around the hospital with a blinkie in his month!!! That's right you heard me a 4 years old.....OMG! But, is it better for that mom to give in and not hear her son cry....then the grass is greener for her. I was looking at my work situation and thought, " there has to be something better then this." Well I looked around and not really...so for now my grass is just green.

Unfinished

Are there days that seem unfinished? Like you can't seem to finish the yard work or washing clothes....or is that due to our life style. Before I married my husband I was always finishing project around the house and being able to sit and enjoy a cup of tea at the end of the day. Now, that I have a little one and a new one on the way I still get things done, but when I husband comes home nothing gets done. I Guess the reason is we miss him and want to spend all of our time with him. It's funny I we re-doing the backyard and my husband had a 4day weekend and he worked on it for 4days, but now I have to wait for another 4day weekend for him to finish the whole yard......so now I just wait for the unfinished to be finished.

Over there at work

Its funny our husbands work all week long, all day long, and everyday, and we understand that because we married a soldier...but when does Uncle Sam say, "spend time with your loved ones!" When is the right time to step away from work and say its family time? Or is that a hopeless dream? I love my husband and will do anything for him, but it kills me to know that I spend holidays and birthdays as a single parent. Even on block leave my husband is still at work : P I wonder is it hard for the soldiers to leave their families for long stretches at a time and when coming home they find that his wife is the mother and father in one and can fix the toilet if it brakes. I wonder.
