FRG Leader

Yea, you read that right.

I'm my husbands company's FRG leader.

Lord, its busy/hard to be one. I was offered the position after the current FRG leader's husband was moved to a different company. Honestly,I didn't know why I was offered it. I mean I did volunteer a lot but I'm Enlisted. (Military wives will totally understand what I'm trying to say by saying that) So I said yes. And oddly enough I do enjoy it. I do love the multi tasking, organizing, and interacting with families and spouses. But the over all down side to it is that I listen/help them with their issues, but as they begin to mount I do feel the added pressure to help, but no one is there to really listen to my problems. (Besides my bestie Allie:)

I feel a certain level of pride and responsibility  to my families. 

I go above and beyond when I can. I fight for them when they ask me to (sometimes when they don't). And try my hardest to keep them as informed as possible. I seriously got lucky with the women I work with. I was blessed with five amazing POCs and to tell you the truth they are the reason our company looks so good.
I do this all for my husband. 

He's my rock, and where ever I can help I'm there. And this was a position that needed someone like me (OCD) lol

16 days and counting...

It's been 16 days since I last heard from my husband...

And every morning I get to hear from other wives that heard from their husbands all over FB and emails...

Look, I'm happy for them (no really I am)

But dang! Throw me a freakin bone here!!!

Time in its own weird way is flying by, but I just need a message, skype, or phone call people

I bet what's going on is that he is letting everyone go first then him....really?!? Jeez...

Love that man either way, but get your butt to a freakin phone buddy! lol

Saints Bedding

That face is the face of a happy boy

Well, our son's new bedding came in the other day, and when it was put on the bed he wanted to "go to sleep!" 

I had to explain to him that bed time was a little later. As I began to clean up the room I heard some noise and it was our son getting into bed and making the "snoring" sound with his eyes closed....

So I closed the door and let him take a hour nap :)

Appreciation

I learned to have a greater appreciation for the lack of stress in my life.

I mean I'm the FRG leader for my husband's company and believe me it isn't stress-free

I just decided not to allow it to affect me too much. The reason? Well, I don't have bullets being shot at me, or sleep in a billion degree tent with a large group of sweaty men, or have to eat MRE's for the next 60-90 days. OH! Did I forget to mention the very important fact that I get to shower every day?! 

My husband is my super hero, but hell, even captain America got to shower everyday.... 

Lord, this deployment will be hard, not really for me when I really compare and contrast. All I seriously have to deal with are crying wives, mom's that won't mind their own business, and the endless sea of meetings.... 

I think I'll be ok

But the worry is for sure a BITCH PAIN!
