If you’ve been around the military for even a short amount of time, you’ve probably at least heard a mention of “Murphy’s Law,” the theory that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
It actually has a pretty science-y history with some philosophy and math thrown in. But you don’t need to know all of that.
All you need to know is that once your service member leaves, I can almost guarantee you will get to know Murphy.
After 13 years of marriage, Big Sarge and I are on our “Lucky Number Seven.” No, not children (I’m exhausted keeping up with the two I have). It’s our seventh duty station!
Last week, I was working as a substitute teacher at the elementary school my children attend. I logged on to Power School and—gasp! What in the world?!
My son received two 50% grades on two different Language Arts tests.
A holiday home sale, typically taking place from November through January, is a daunting process during a very busy friends-and-family season. But truly, there are ways to mitigate the disruption if a sale is a must.
Sometimes it’s easy to forget how many things we have to be thankful for when the hustle and bustle of life takes over, but these weeks leading up to the holidays give me pause.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… Being a military spouse is not for the weak-hearted.
There are ups and downs, joys and sorrows, laughter and tears, seasons of celebration and seasons of suck. It’s an emotional rollercoaster that can leave us excited and ready to jump back on and take another spin. But other times, this life-calling finds us with a spinning head, holding back tears with a nauseous stomach and searching for a puke bucket.
