Do security systems really work? Would this just be another drastic leap? Or am I just looking for 1 more thing that will drive me crazy in my routine? One day last wk, while getting ready to bundle up in the car to go to school, I noticed that my car door handle was pulled [...]
Finding a Babysitter
Posted by StephanieL on March 7th, 2012
I am a 1st time mom and a little protective of my little man. The husband and I have not had a date since November and we really just want to go to dinner and a movie. I have not had a babysitter yet for my little man. This process has been hard because since [...]
Conferences are under rated…
Posted by Angela on March 7th, 2012
My goodness, I do believe that confrences are over rated! If you read my last post you will see my fears of the day before my confrence with my sons first grade teacher, and the many months of worry even before that. My “CONFRONTATION” was just that. We laid it all on the line. No stone [...]
But for the grace of God…
Posted by Mandi on March 6th, 2012
I haven’t written in a while. There has just been a lot going on. Life I guess. My husband has had a couple surgeries. One was major and to repair an old injury from working military dogs and the other was for an emergency appendectomy. Once I got out of the habit I kept thinking [...]
Key Spouse
Posted by StephanieL on February 24th, 2012
I have only been a military spouse now going on 3 years. At our 1st base time went by so quickly with being pregnant and my husband being deployed to Afghanistan, that I really didn’t take the time to learn about what a “key spouse” actually does. Now as I sat here in Minot waiting [...]
Conference (confrontation) time
Posted by Angela on February 24th, 2012
We have a conference with my 1st graders teacher tomorrow. I am new at this… sorry!!! So rather calling it conference time, I think that confrontation time, may be just a bit better suited! No, don’t get me wrong… I am not one bit excited about this. However, here is my scoop. The level of [...]
Mending hearts
Posted by Angela on February 8th, 2012
I’ve been gone a bit, not on purpose but gone, none the less. I have been mending hearts and attempting to get healthy, all at once. So this is my month that I have missed you….. I got a call from my sister on the 4th of January, just minutes before my morning alarm clock [...]

Ok, I know it has been a while for the follow up on our trip, but traveling seems to get us sick…Cough Cough ….Cough it has been around for 2 weeks now. Well the baby did extremely well on the plane rides ( 4 total for the trip). He slept through takeoff and landing on [...]
Retirement
Posted by JessM on January 18th, 2012
There are a few phrases that will leave a spouse utterly speechless, the one for our current situation: “They put me in for the Med Board”. *GULP* 12 years in the Infantry, 4 deployments (the last one brought him home early due to injury), 3 PCS moves, countless field rotations and schools, now staring down [...]
Where are you from?
Posted by StephanieL on January 11th, 2012
In my last post I mentioned that my husband was a military brat and has friends and family everywhere. I was never a military savvy person before I met my husband…I guess what you would call that typical mere civilian. I recently came across this this article that someone posted on FB. http://blogcritics.org/culture/article/what-military-children-wont-tell-you/ So……After reading [...]
