We Aren't All Like You!

My brother in law is having some serious marital problems. If you want my opinion they are both at fault. Both are incredibly hard headed and stubborn and they both love the other very much. There is nothing wrong with being hard headed and stubborn when there is really something to stand your... Sign in to see full entry.

The Silver Lining

I spent the weekend at Buck and Pam's again. I realized that even though I am always happy to get back home to my own bed, my own obnoxious, arrogant cat and the ability to smoke anywhere I want, I really do find great comfort in the crazy house full of teenagers, puberty, work and crazy wives...

Do You Resent That It's Your Husband?

That seems to be a common question that people will ask me when they realize that Carl is in Iraq. The truth is: YES! Someday's, I resent the hell out of it. Especially when some woman stands there and gives me her political take on things and her husband is standing there next to her safe and sound... Sign in to see full entry.

Is This Really MY Life?

I was looking at my notes and my calendar today and I had to stop for a minute and really let it soak in that this really is my life. Yesterday I did a live radio interview (I was the one interviewed) and oh how I enjoyed it. If I had a better voice I would love to do radio as a career. I had so... Sign in to see full entry.

When You Thank A Soldier

It's interesting to see how people treat a soldier in uniform. What most don't realize is that a soldier is not issued the DCU (Desert/Brown) uniform unless they will be going into the Middle East. A soldier in a DCU is one that is either on their way or has been in combat. Once they come home they... Sign in to see full entry.

Please Come Home Soon

While sitting in the airport waiting for his flight he asked me "Are you going to be ok for 3 more months?" I kind of chuckeled and asked him "What are my options? If I say no will you stay here?" Obviously his answer was no but he saw the humor and laughed at me. He gave me the usual reminders of... Sign in to see full entry.

My Husband's Opinion Of My Time On Blogit

Factor Fiction put out a post asking if this was an emotional affair among we blogger types. My answer is a resounding yes! Carl laughed at me when I finally got online, I didn't head straight for my email but for blogit. He asked about it and I explained this is a place I come to write. Not quite...

The Last Time

Someone recently commented on one of my posts that it was refreshing to see a military wife who doesn't feel sorry for themselves. This is not one of those refreshing posts. I am in the midst of a full blown pity party today. I took Carl to the airport this morning, so once again it's just me. I... Sign in to see full entry.
