How to run errands with children
Five kids, one errand run, and a stranger who wanted to know my secret. The answer is boring: say no, stay consistent, and never over-explain to an eight-year-old.
Pool of Trouble
He deployed and left me with a pool I'd never maintained. It turned green. I sent him photos of everything except the backyard which contained the pool of trouble.
Been a long time
Well, I just noticed that it’s been an indecently long time since I have written. And I guess it’s high time I got it together and updated. Its down to the last weeks before my husband returns from this latest deployment. I am excited and nervous. Nervous that he has a mental image of what the house we moved into almost a year ago looks like, and that the expectations are high. There’s still a lot of unpacked boxes and odds and ends I haven’t quite figured out what to do with in this new house. It has been busy. It seems like every day a thousand things are on…
Back to the Bumpy Road
Well, I was right to be apprehensive. Things are only just getting back to some kind of normal. Kind of scary since he has been home for five months now. But to make matters worse, two weeks after his return, we got it into our heads to sell our house and move into a bigger home.

Impending doom is coming - in the form of the husband returning from deployment. Why the dread?
