Dear Deployment, Can I ask just what in the frick you think you're doing?  I realize you and your schedule run the show right now, but do you have to be such a jackass? How is it that you have NO CLUE when and how much my husband will be paid this month?  Huh?  Tell me.  ...

I am ready to get this show on the road. I know that's awful.  I can't believe I'm even typing it.  I can't believe I'm even thinking it.  At some point, I will complain about him being gone and someone will refer me back to my own post.  I know all those ...

M2 cannot stop smiling.  She loves her "new room" deeply.  I have tried my best to capture the essence of the room on my camera, but the color still is not quite right.  I literally had to dim her light last night because the flash washed out the wall color too much....

I'm not excited about Hubs' training starting next week, but I can tell you I am excited about the weekend arriving.  I would be more excited if I didn't have to go to work tomorrow, but I guess that would be too much to ask for now.  After the completely disappointing end to...

I believe I have heard that one can define insanity as repeating the same action over and over, but expecting a different result.  I must be officially insane because I honestly went into that interview today believing that I would leave having accepted a job offer. No offer. Not only no offer...

I'll admit it.  I'm tired!  It's becoming harder and harder to ignore the fact that my husband begins training very soon.  We spent the entire day Saturday at a family readiness briefing.  I will say that this briefing was so much better than the last one we atten...
