6 (Humorous) Signs Homecoming is Coming
As military spouses, I’d say we have two distinct moments of the spouse experience: one we loathe and one we anticipate.
The one we dread is obviously the numerous “see-ya-later” moments with our beloved service members. Some days, as I kiss him and he walks to the door/bus/plane, I feel like we just did this same routine like 20 minutes ago. Gross.
But with the see-ya-later moments comes homecoming anticipation. And really, it doesn’t matter if they’re gone for a week to the field, a month to training, or a year to a desert somewhere, homecomings are always one of the “marked” military spouse adventures.

What happens in your mind when the person, normally after a brief thoughtful pause, says that little word before they say anything else?
I think that color looks great on you, but…
I appreciate how well you’ve been sticking to our budget, but…
I really loved dinner tonight, but…
At first you feel good and affirmed, and you’re soaking up the praise. You’re happy about what is being said and considering how you are going to respond. And then after the pause you hear it.
6 Tips for Studying with a Toddler
If you’re in the back-to-school game this year because you’re furthering your education as an adult, you may have noticed it’s a little different than before kids.
