I am last priority. At least, that is the way it has been for a very long time. Last priority for the people around me and eventually last priority for myself. The first thing to go in the chaos of life is me, which I am trying to change. There are a lot of reasons […]
“You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run.” -From The Gambler by Kenny Rogers Yesterday, I wrote about boundaries, particularly those in friendships. As I said yesterday, this has been something that has been an issue for me for a long time. […]
We are finally moving, something I was beginning to think would never happen. We have a pack out date with transportation on August 23rd and pick up on the 24th. We are rolling out for our cross-country road trip on the 29th. We have been stationed here for 7+ years, since May of 2005. But […]
I was so ready to move to Arizona this summer, so ready. After the last several years, most particularly this last one, starting over in a new place sounded wonderful. We are still going to move, but nearly as soon as we initially thought, which was within the net few weeks. Corey has sleep […]
One of the things the sucks the most about deployments, besides the obvious distance, is the lack of balance. Hell, that imbalance exists even when the soldiers are BTG in garrison.

I have been a bad blogger for the last several months! I used to blog all the time, just about every day, but I guess I have been in more than a little bit of a rut. I feel almost like I have been going through the motions but not really living life, I guess. […]
I am pretty sure Soldier Daddy is cheating on me. With the Army, and that bitch gets ALL the love!! <3 Seriously. it has been insane for the last several months. We started out the summer with a few weeks of preset training. Yeah, I know what you are thinking. “Uh, what?! Not all of […]
I miss blogging every day like I used to, but it just doesn’t happen. It is certainly not for lack of trying because I open the damn thing every day with every intention of blogging. I just can’t come with a single thing to blog about that is even remotely interesting. My life bores even […]
I guess it depends on how you look at it! It is our 9th anniversary from our very first date back in 2001, our 8th from our wedding day in 2002, and only the third one we have actually been in the same state or country for! Yeah, that last one would be courtesy of […]
Lady of leisure,… NOT! I spent most of the weekend lounging in bed, which sounds a whole lot better than it actually was! I had the worst headache and it totally kicked my ass. Not very often do they completely debilitate me but this one thoroughly succeeded!! I have a fabby shiatsu massage pillow with […]
