14 in 18 year old body (brain included)

Talk about a blog day. Whew! After I got the kids to school I came home to change so I would be presentable in public. Then I went to talk with a soldiers wife. She is newly married, 18 and fresh away from home. She is also very homesick. So anyhoo, I picked her up and I showed her how to get to the pharmacy, target, her new house and back to post. After that I came home and Sunnydale scared the bejeezies out of me. Cause he was in the laundry room when I came in and I didn't see him until he yelled "Boo!" *sigh* When will I ever stop falling for his antics??? LOL

Being a military wife can have it's high points. Like when I was Mayor, that was a pretty cool year. Or when I have been coined by a high ranking officer for doing something great *rolls eyes*, things of that nature. Always makes me feel good because there are so many opportunities to be involved. And I have loved that part of being a military wife.

I have to say though, being a military wife and being a Drill Sgt. wife are two totally different things. All of a sudden I find myself in a more delicate position. For those of you who know me well, will probably laugh at this. Me, in a delicate position? No more throwing the kids in the car while still wearing my pajamas to take the girls to school. It really isn't fair. I go to the school and I see all these privates wives taking their one child to school looking like they are going to Prom at 7:45 in the morning. I mean for real ladies, get with the program. Isn't it about comfort????

Ahhh, but life isn't comfortable is it? At least most of the time it doesn't seem that way. I suppose however that if it were, then we'd all be in our pajamas and quite frankly, I'm beginning to think that some of these wives may not even wear pajamas. *shudder*

Also, I have to really be careful what I say and to whom. If I complain about the 6 loads of laundry and 2 weeks of dust sitting in my house, I could be talking to some privates wife who's husband just failed an important inspection because MY husband told him his socks were incorrectly folded. *grin*

Of course Sunnydale is falling over with embarrassment right now, it's all about being real right? Although really, the laundry load is probably more than that and I dusted this past Saturday. LOL

I got some great pics of the kids watering my tree today. I'll post them in a little while. Until then...
