Not Sure

     So, I decided to start a blog. A place to vent/talk/wonder about our lives without any character limitations and FB drama. Facebook is great, and I enjoy being able to talk with people, but it seems like there are those who are just there for drama. It's annoying and obnoxious. I enjoy the idea of a diary/journal type thing. I like writing, but never seem to have time. For some reason, this seems quicker. I can type way faster than I can write. Plus, the kids can't rip the pen out of my hand.
     As I sit here, watching it snow (at the end of March, no less), I am realizing how far Codey and I have come since we first met. He was working at the bowling alley in KC, and I was working at St Lukes and going to school. Things have changed so much since then. We have changed so much since then.
     I love our kids. They're beautiful and smart and so freakin' funny. This morning, the kids were in our bed and Alli said to Codey, "Get up you old man!" She just says random crap all the time! And it's usually pretty funny.
    Anna is sitting on the love seat next to me with her pink pretend laptop. She's pretending to type. It's amazing to me how much she wants to be like it and how much she imitates me...and how well.  When one of the other kids is hurt, she very often gets there before me and offers comfort to them, kissing their booboos and rubbing their backs. She's sweet.
    Emilee is smart. It's impossible to play hide & seek with her. She'll give you away every time...if she's not hiding with you, that is. If she's your hiding buddy, she's perfect. If you leave her out, she's going to tell the other kids where you are.
    The Army confuses me. We have a love hate relationship, the Army and I. I LOVE that it's a steady paycheck and pretty good insurance. I hate that everything is last minute, and information travels so slowly down hill. Usually by the time it gets to us, it's crawling slower than a snail's place. Everything is so last minute with them. It's just frustrating. Another reason for the blog, actually. Typically if I post something negative on FB about the Army, the typical response from people is, "Well, you chose it," or "It's the Army. What do you expect?" And you know what, that really ticks me off.  Yeah, so what if we chose this life. That doesn't make it any easier when my husband is called away at a moment's notice because some E1 is an idiot, and my husband has to cancel our plans to cover for him.
    So, before you decide to read my postings on a regular basis, you should know that this blog is going to be about my life. And the Army is a part of my life. My kids are a part of my life. My husband is part of my life. Even the dumb dog is a part of my life. And all of those things have positive and negative aspects. Sometimes, I'm sure, I'm going to be more focused on the negative. Sometimes, I'll be focused on the positive. So, if you can't handle that, don't read it. I don't have time for extra drama. Believe me, all those things I listed below cause me enough drama already.
    I hope you will read it though, 'cause you'll probably learn something and be pretty entertained by my life.
   Adios for now!
