Happy Mil-Spouse Day

Sorry I have posted in a while….we had an unexpected homecoming, and then leave. Yeah! I have missed writing and connecting with all of you. I just had to hop on here tonight and send of message of love and encouragement to all the Military Spouses!

GUT - Get Unlimited Texting

So the other day, Katie (the girl pup) and I walk down to the mailbox to get the mail (of course) and as I open the cell phone bill I am SHOCKED at the $240 extra charge. My mind starts to race and I’m trying to figure out what has just happened.
I discover the [...]

Getting Prepared - The List

In a previous post I talked about getting prepared for a natural disaster like a Tornado. I know these subjects are never “fun” to talk about, believe me I’d rather be talking about “Eli Stone” or how I can’t wait for Spring.
I found this list from the Ready.gov website and thought I’d share.
You can [...]

Duke’s All-Nighter

I have two beagle pups. A boy and a girl, Duke and Katie. I love both of my dogs and they are very good company while the husband is away on this IA deployment. In fact they are “his dogs”. When they were born, he visited the breeder and picked them out at 4 weeks. [...]

Prepare Yourself

Last Tuesday night me, my 11 year old and two dogs were camped out in the most interior room of our house (which happened to be our laundry room) for a scary evening. Although we wandered around a bit to check the TV weather reports (when it was receiving a satellite signal) and looking [...]

A MilSpouse Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day was this past Thursday and on a day full of romance and showing your Valentine how much you love them, how does a military spouse celebrate the “holiday” alone?
I thought I’d share how I spent my day. When I arrived home I was happy to find the Fed Ex man left [...]

Internal Patrol Clock

I remember the first time my friend Amy, whose husband is “Surface Navy”, admonished me for venting/complaining about my husband being out to sea…..again….and gosh he had been gone “forever”. It had been a whole six weeks. Her husband would go out on 6 month deployments (or longer), while mine would leave and [...]

Here are mine….I hope you’ll add to the list:
1. Guest Book for the Bathroom - [...]

Pop In Anytime

Have you been inside the Forum here at MSM? I’ve been milling around, popping in here and there and I am so loving reading all the messages and leaving some as well. Ive introduced myself in the “introductions” thread and have chatted with several spouses. I’ve read messages from milspouses sharing their [...]

Raw Tuna?!

There are a lot of worldly milspouses out there. When it comes to food, I am not one of them. I grew up in southern New Mexico, where I don’t even think there was a seafood restaurant in town. So…having sushi or anything similar like a bright red piece of tuna [...]
