Another from there to here...

Dear Reader, 


I apologize. This blog has turned into a timeline mess. --Below are three post that I didn't know published to "this" blog...as I now have a second blog that I use to track my current "my husbands deployed," scenario. --Below them are are three post that were in "draft form" that apparently never got published. 


I have time lined them as closely as possible to how they may have occurred...So, if you want to see the previously "short" rants, of a miserable chick, by all means, see below...


But bear with me, the letter below should give some rhyme and reason to how I got from there..."Miserable married chick hating everything," to here..."Still Miserable, but FAKING IT and being grateful for all I have." (Smiley Face) 


After this, I swear I'll give an, "In real time" update.... 


 Notice: Mr. SOMEONE...Please excuse my printing of my letter to you, but I think you'll agree its pertinent... 


 Mr. Someone Asks: How are things these days? 


(I respond via Facebook) 


January 23            
  "....As to things now a days, it's a slightly complicated response. 
 I still am not in Love w.Alaska...Haven't been since August primarily because I was supposed to be working, and then couldn't (hiring freeze at DOD)...Plus, I can't even get TV where we are renting right now, which is a small uncomfortable environment with no yard, that makes owning a dog extremely stressful......And you might have read that frustration...but it is only frustration and boredom. 


 ...BUT we are buying a home, which is beautiful, and in a good neighborhood, and has a yard, LOL --which as a spouse of a deployed soldier means, I no longer have to Freak out when the dog runs away in -50. 


But, (((HUSBAND)) JUST deployed. -Like two days ago deployed, and well, that sucks. I'm not at all used to it, but Since December I did a check on my attitude that basically is, "I could Hate it here, or I could make the best of it, and bottom line is, I'm married, so I'm here regardless so I am going to do my damnedest to support my husband." And that's where I am now, a positive frame of mind. My mom and husband noticed the change. Even my husband's supervisor, is like, Your wife is always so positive


...So I'm taking responsibility for my own happiness regardless of circumstance... The Moving Helps immensely. It keeps me busy and gives me a light at the end of a bad renters tunnel. I just keep telling myself, I only need to make it until Feb 16th. Also, as of THIS morning, I finally got the paperwork cleared so that I could be hired/working. Which will also keep me busy...


Finally, I plowed the truck into snow last month-- off the highway-- which will give anyone a quick "come to Jesus" moment...I realized very quickly, all I had to loose, and make it a point to be very grateful. I try to tell everyone I love how important they are...because yeah, I could have lost so much... 


 Anywhoo, thats me.1 yr summed up. How are you?"
