• When Homeschooling Meets Military

  
  SpouseBUZZ — Authority: 437
  We have four children, and they have all been home-schooled.  It works for us. Anyway, one of the books we use for early reading is called "Explode the Code."  My kids LOVE Explode the Code (and I would heartily recommend it for early reading even if your children are attending regular school - it is fun and it ...

• Sticker Club

  
  SpouseBUZZ — Authority: 437
  Im back home  (yea!) after 10 days on the road, visiting my in-laws for the holidays.  I rented a car because my car may or may not be reliable for such a long trip.  During the 2150 miles Ive driven the rental car, I noticed an interesting thing:  I missed my military stickers.  I didnt actual enter any military ...

• Box Hoarders Anonymous

  
  SpouseBUZZ — Authority: 437
  Hi, Im Marine Wife.  And I hoard boxes, specifically original packaging.  I have the box for the computer we bought 3 moves ago.  Ditto for the Japanese and German china my mother bought over 30 years ago.  (So clearly, this might be an inherited disease, especially if you are the child of a milspouse.)  I keep ...

• How do you define "accomplishment?"

  
  SpouseBUZZ — Authority: 437
  I read She of the Seas post about how we milspouses manage to do things (while our spouse is deployed) that appear, at first, too overwhelming.  Then we accomplish these things and often wonder how in the world we did it and lived to tell the tale! One of my personal accomplishments was finishing graduate ...

• Boy Issues

  
  SpouseBUZZ — Authority: 437
  This deployment has been weird.  Partly because, well, Im kind of tired.  And by "kind of" I mean "really."  A lot.  I also feel guilty about being so tired, because even though Air Force Guy has been gone more than hes been home the last few years, I also know that it could always be worse. But as Sarah said ...

• What if?

  
  SpouseBUZZ — Authority: 437
  I am one of the lucky ones this year, my Husband is home at Christmas.   The blizzard conditions made it impossible for us to leave home, and frankly we were ok with that.  We are used to spending Holidays alone as a family.  Far away from our immediate family, and  our families are accustomed to it as well.  We ...

• Oh Starry Night IV

  
  SpouseBUZZ — Authority: 437
  Its windy.  Loads of dust in the air.  The air isnt crisp, its down right cold.  There are aircraft flying and at times the noise is so all-encompassing, that you cant think straight.  And "were supposed to sleep under these conditions?"  Its Christmas Day.  And the newbies, the FNGs in the theater, want ...

• Sometimes, its the smallest of things ...

  A while back she lost her dad, a world-class Air Force test pilot.  Probably due to him flying around and through those elusive neutrons that were plentiful in the late 50s.  Now shes watching her mom disappear to dementia and probably its friend Mr Alzheimers.  This, the lady who with six kids in-tow, could ...

• We Are Amazing

  
  SpouseBUZZ — Authority: 437
  Through each deployment, there are days of despair:  nothing is going well, and you feel like you havent accomplished anything, and it seems like deployment will never end. Then there are the Blue Ribbon Days.  The days where you accomplish something that was hard, or everything goes well, or you have the ...

• Militarese to English FAIL

  
  SpouseBUZZ — Authority: 437
  When Air Force Guy came home on R & R it was great.  He came bearing gifts (yay!  early Christmas!) and he came bearing illness.  AFG always comes home from deployment bearing some kind of illness to pass around the house.  We like to call it "The Crud".  Specifically, we call it the "Wherever-He-Was ...

• Me, Me, Me, Me

  
  SpouseBUZZ — Authority: 437
  Thats it.  I cant go out until my husband gets home.  Or I need to learn better social skills.  Because lately, everywhere I go, all we ever talk about is me.  How long has he been gone?  When is he coming back?  How do you do it?  When are you moving?  What do the kids think?  I appreciate everyones ...

• Decorating Envy

  
  SpouseBUZZ — Authority: 437
  My name is She of the Sea, and I have decorating envy. This is a problem that attacks me every once in a while.  Yesterday, I was at the house of a civilian friend.  They have lived in this house for more than 5 years and intend to be there for a long time.  And it is decorated beautifully.  Not fancy schmancy ...

• A Holiday Is Not a Date On the Calendar

  
  SpouseBUZZ — Authority: 437
  By the time Christmas rolls around, I will be too pregnant to travel.  My family is trying to decide how to make sure Im not alone.  Both my father and brother will have to work on Christmas.  My father suggested to my mother that she could come see me by herself so Id have someone to spend Christmas with. My ...
