Quitting Smoking

So I 'm attempting to quit smoking, which sucks, but I'm starting the process. It was not this hard to start, so why is it so damn hard to quit? My head hurts, I'm tired and don't want to move. So that's the news of the day.

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs

So how am I supposed to get and keep a job being aNavy wife? At least, I should say, this "close" to leaving. By close I mean a year and a half, but it looks like another deployment may be coming our way again. Here's the snafu... I get a normal job, and then I have to quit in about a year, give or take a few months, and then add in the predeployment, and/or move time to get the house situated and what not. Then add in the fact that none of this looks good on my employment record. I don't know, it's just the random thoughts popping through my head. I mean technically I have a job babysitting for Tarean, but I miss the actual workforce, the getting out of the house with adults, that stuff. I miss being able to gripe about the boss. Normal adult things that I am missing out on. One idea though that I have thrown around is writing a novel, but I'm not sure if it would sell. And if it didn't sell I would be positively devestated. I just have to give props to the wives that have careers and deal with the military life. That has to be hard.

Gone A While

So I haven't had much of a chance to write lately. Life has been busy busy busy. I'm currently babysitting a friend's 14 month old baby girl fulltime, attemting to still keep my house in tip top shape and trying to find time to spend with the hubby. In typical Navy fashion, they're sending him off island to a school and of course, he'll be gone for our one year annivesary. On a good note all of my Christmas cards are done! All 108 of them. Now we're just waiting for my mom to send us out the addresses for my side of the family. We are one dog short now... she just wouldn't get over her peeing problem. In fact it just got worse. I for one do not like having my brand new couch peed on twice a day. We still have Keona though and she's still the wondeful dog that she's always been. A little bit of a bed hog though. Navy Ball was well Navy Ball. Nothing toob suprising there. Our pictures turned out horrible and to top it off we paid $40 for them and all we got was a cd with 3 different poses and all of them looked hideous. This was definitely the last year ever we will get photos done. The hubby has had a lot of work to do lately, so he's been busy with that. The election pissed off a lot of people this year and everyone that I've talked to is worried about what this means for us. I know that a lot of us are going to be screwed if our pay gets cut. So that's the happenings out here. With the holidays quickly approaching, I have a feeling it's just going to get worse. Wish us luck!
