So the Atlanta airport got shut down for 36 hours, I'm in Michigan what's the big deal? The big deal is 36 hours means serious delays for many soldiers trying to get home.

Half Of My Heart--Yeah Right!

Like every other military family member who has a loved one in the middle of this conflict or the one in Afghanistan I have my collection of t-shirts, signs, buttons, etc... that I wear to show my pride in my service member.

Me And My Big Mouth

Seems I always manage to do things that come back to me..the problem is this time it's going to likely come back on my husband. A while ago, I wrote about someone I refer to as "Idiot Woman" which is actually much nicer than my usual term for her. Anyway this woman and I came to verbal blows...OK, I...

Happy Happy Birthday Baby
