Hi! Remember me? I’m the slack blogger who got even more slack who promised to get better, but only got worse. Yeah, that’s me. Sorry ’bout that.
Those who are my FBFs (Facebook Friends) know I’m alive and slightly kicking. Those who aren’t my FBFs, but are bloggy buddies, I’m sorry if you’ve stopped by and I’ve not been here.
I have tales of gardens, red dresses with spawn of Satan shoes, a trip out west and my theory on dry heat.
See, you’re totally hooked and I know you’ll be back. After all, who doesn’t want to know about Satan’s shoes?
To all my milspouse friends, e-pals and bloggy buddies…
I wish you all a happy Military Spouse Appreciation Day. Some of you will spend it alone and many of your husbands may not know it even exists. From spouse to another, I know you’re appreciated although the words may never cross lips and it may seem that it’s taken for granted.
I want you all to know I appreciate you. I appreciate the kind words of encouragement you’ve shared with me. I appreciate your candor. I appreciate the fact you all are such strong women and you plow through. There are days where the tears seem to take over and you simply don’t know where the energy to begin again will come from. Being a military spouse can be the toughest job in the military. But you do it. We do it. There are often unique sets of challenges we are faced with before, during and after deployments as well as just day-to-day life. Some of us face more than others and, while it’s all relative to our circumstances and situations, one thing remains constant. We stick together.For those spouses whose Blue Stars have turned Gold, you are also appreciated. Your family has given the ultimate sacrifice and your service and dedication is much appreciated.
When your spouse leaves for his mission with his special water bottle in tow, he knows it’s you who replaced the lost one. When a luncheon with other spouses is successful, he knows it’s you who made it happen. When they have clean underwear and uniforms, they know it’s you. It takes a special wife to full appreciate his enthusiasm over his new gas mask. When you carefully choose what to wear the day they come home and make sure everything is just perfect, it’s you who made the day as perfect as it could be.
Take a few minutes to just pat yourselves on the back today.
