Fifteen months of hell is nearly over - yahoo! It's a good time of year for a reunion too, it's warming up and flowers are coming, time to start gardening and all that nice stuff. This blog will end soon - I plan to post two or three time post reunion but thats it. Then on to my regularly scheduled wonderful life!

Swimming and Count Downs

My daughter's first swim lesson for this year was this past Saturday. She LOVED it, and so did I! I can't wait to go back next week. We switched to a pool that is much warmer and it's so much nicer to be not freezing while in the pool!

Count Down is nearly on... we're down to less than two weeks! I am not going to start counting until the last week because not only do I not like long count downs, but I don't want my daughter to loose interest in the count down, and if it's too long I'm sure she will.

Its one of those days

Those "do I want us to remain a military family" days. I am so sick and so tired of living life with no family, no close friends because we move so often, and a huge lack of support from the military. I long for my life back in our old big city, where we had lots of close friends, some family, and respectful employers who valued that we worked long, hard hours. So far removed from the life we now live. I have to say, the military is by far the worst employer I have ever encountered. I wonder why so many families stick with it? Is it their committment to serving, even if it means their life becomes a living hell? Is it because they know no different? Is it because they are happy living this life? Or are there many other unhappy spouses out there - not unhappy with their spouse, but unhappy with their spouses employer, who just learn to put up with it somehow?
