The Battle of the Study: The Savers VS The Tossers
There are two types of people in the world, the savers and the tossers. There’s one in each relationship. I’m a tosser married to a saver and our battleground is the study.
Keep on Moving!
The summer season is sweating our way, but for many military families, summertime is not evocative of sandy beaches, or big boats, or even over-glamorized stay-cations. Rather, the approaching summer months herald the arrival of the 18-wheeler moving truck. The truck itself is neither problematic nor challenging; it is the effort required to engage with the truck at both the departure and the destination locations that is duly daunting to military families—most often, the military spouse.
What Type of Battle Buddy Are You?
I remember one time, sitting outside, having my weekly wine with my neighbor, when we started a discussion about her new-found “job” as a battalion commander’s spouse. She was sharing how she felt blessed that she had such great friends and neighbors (battle buddies) because she is feeling a bit “lost in the sauce” when it comes to meeting all of the expectations and answering all of the questions that have come along with her role in her husband’s new position.
A Year of Thanks: July
I am in the midst of PCSing! Woo hoo! (Who would have thought I would be so excited to head back to Fort Rucker, Alabama? After three years in Korea, they could have sent us anywhere not in Korea and I would have been thrilled.) Because I am PCSing, I thought I’d go a different route this month, and list the 30 websites I’m thankful for.
Find the Magic Near You
You may be thinking, “’Find the magic?’ Magic is for kids.”
I say you are wrong!
The Road Trip Bag of Awesomeness
Hey y’all!
Every summer, we take a road trip. One of our favorite splurge locations? Disney World! While we can’t get enough of the mouse house, we are often forced to drive extremely long distances to get there.
How PCSing Changed My Life
Do you ever dread moving? Maybe it’s the anticipation for orders or wondering if where you end up next is a place you will want to be. PCSing seems to come with so many unknowns that it’s hard not to have a little bit of anxiety about what things will be like. Because, let’s face it, every PCS is pretty much a new start: A new house, a new group of friends, a new city. Or maybe they’re old hat if you’ve visited or lived there before. Although, that’s not to say that even old hat doesn’t have its own challenges sometimes.
