I have been so busy with reviews I have totally neglected my "personal" posts. So here is an update.
It is definitely decided that C will get out of the military. I know it is a risky decision in this economy but this is what he wants to do. He does not want to be deployed again (3rd time) because of having to leave Princess P. And he also wants to be closer to family. Which is going to be great for P. She spends her time with just me and C. She needs to be around other people and I could definitely use a break! But this decision poses so many other problems. We have to sell this house, find a new house, find jobs, insurance and the list just goes on and on! Oh how I dread going back to work! The cost of living is double what it is here so I will have to find a job. I hate the thought of having to leave Princess P (I have never been away for more than 2 or 3 hours). And I have no idea what I am going to do. I do not want to go back into the healthcare field. And I can see me juggling college, a full-time job and a family. I know women do it everyday, but I don't think I am that strong. Oh well, I just have to take it day by day. I am getting to the point that I want to move though. The sudden string of violence around here is starting to freak me out a little. I do miss the country where you don't have to worry about locking your doors at night.
On another note Princess P is learning how to crawl. I don't know if that is a good thing or not. She is into everything. She even learned how to shut the bedroom door today!

I adored when my boys began crawling. Have fun!
I often struggle with the work vs. stay at home decision. As of now, I am still working. It is exhausting, and I often just want to spend time at home playing with my girl - but I do enjoy getting out a bit and I think it is good for me.
Just take it day by day, and start using a crockpot!
Enjoy the crawling - it is quite the adventure.
My dh got out almost 2 years ago. It was an easy decision for him for the same reason--2 deployments in 2 years and he missed so much of the kids' lives. He was career military before that, though, so it was an odd transition to go from being a military family to civilian. I don't think we'll ever REALLY be a civilian family.
I just wanted to send some positive vibes your way. In some ways, it's very odd, but it is SUCH a huge relief. The finding jobs/relocating thing can be rough, but I just wanted to be a cheerleader and let you know you can do it. :-)
