Healthy Parenting During a PCS

Healthy Parenting During a PCS

by | Jul 18, 2013

My family and I are currently in the home stretch of my husband’s third deployment. As I make arrangements for our PCS move from Virginia to Texas, minus my husband, Military OneSource continues to hold my hand through it all. The resources and advice found on their website blow my mind because I do not remember this wonderful and infinite information rainbow being available during our first deployment several years ago. Then again, I had everything figured out back in the day when we were military newbies!

A Woman of My Word

A Woman of My Word

by | Jul 15, 2013

I pride myself on being a woman of my word. If I say I am going to do something, I’ll do it. 

(Unless it’s something I am telling myself I should do, and in that case, my word means nothing. Refer to:  Diet, Start My.)

Cheer Up!

Cheer Up!

Did you know that July 11, is National Cheer Up The Lonely Day? I had no idea that such a day even existed but wasn’t surprised. Quite honestly, I could use a little “cheering up” myself, just like some of you.

While my husband is away on his “mission,” I am “holding down the fort,” “keeping the lights on,” or whatever other phrase you want to use. Something we, as military spouses, are more than accustomed to doing.

I have debated on writing on this topic for some time, but haven’t wanted to touch the subject. Recently though, I ran across a page that where fellow female veteran posted about feeling alone in her battle. So I decided it was time to face my own battle and share a little bit more openly.

So here is goes…

I have PTSD. 

A Connected Disconnection

A Connected Disconnection

by | Jul 3, 2013

I live in a connected world.

In my personal world, I’m addicted to Facebook. I love seeing the pictures of my friends’ kids growing up, hearing what they did on the weekend, and conversing with them back and forth. Everyone whom I’ve ever had contact with personally knows how to find me and reach me via email. If they’ve spent two minutes with me, they also know that email or text is the way to get me fastest.

I have heard this military life called a roller coaster, but what about the other amusement park rides? This summer, many of you are boarding the PCS roller coaster with me and my frequent park buddy Tara.
