So...I want to talk about a subject that I’ve not been able to find much info on...believe it or not...even after searching and searching on the web. My husband has been home from deployment for 3 weeks. We’ve been together 20 years, so I knew we had a solid relationship. I wasn’t concerned about ... Keep Reading »
Domestic Landmines
I can’t resist. I MUST continue the story. If I keep it inside, I will explode. It is THAT funny. I’m giggling as I write this. I traveled ALL day yesterday to get home from Phoenix. Due to delayed flights, I finally walked in the door this morning at 12:30am...exHAUSTed. This is what I walked in ... Keep Reading »
Return to Civilization
I had an entirely different plan for my post today, BUT I just can’t pass this up. I’m cracking up and CAN’T share this on Facebook right now...which is DRIVING ME NUTS!

We are in our last 3 months or so of it, but now time is literally passing at a snail’s pace. Everyone tends to ... Keep Reading »
The Elephant is STILL in the Room
Being a military wife is hard. No ifs, ands, or buts. My husband has had "boots to the ground" for 8 months now. What does this mean? It means that he's getting ready for bed as I'm waking up. It means that I can't just call or text him when I need support or think of something funny that I want to ... Keep Reading »
Continuing to Sail…
I can’t believe how many calls/texts/emails/comments/messages I’ve received since my post about our son’s difficulties. Thank you so much to EVERYONE. It’s nice to know that we aren’t alone in this...nor the first to experience it. I wanted to update you a week later. Trust me...it’s just my ... Keep Reading »
