White Christmas

Did I ever mention that I hate the snow? Okay maybe not hate the snow itself but all the work and pain it creates in my life.....Do you think my hubby plans to leave over a winter so he doesn't have to shovel snow? I need to look into that.....

I hate shoveling snow out of my driveway and seeing the house across the street who's driveway faces south free of snow...thank you sun gods!

I hate watching it coming down and hearing all the cars sliding around and knowing that the next day will only be a hella day for me and claims.

I hate fighting with my daughter that it's too cold outside to be wearing only a fur lined hoodie from Aeropostale and not her heavy coat.

Blah I hate the snow....why don't I live in Texas? Oh right I hate cockroaches even more!

For now I will get thru one more winter and he can shovel the snow when he gets back. My luck he will be the one that doesn't think we are too poor to buy a snowblower.....

I hope all of you have a White Christmas and it's beatiful and filled with happy cocoa memories!!

Not My First Rodeo

Well it was only 2 years ago that hubby came back from a 14 month deployment...and today he left again for a year. But then like the title says---not my first rodeo so it will pass quickly right? Yep that's what they say.

Do I think that this time it will be harder or easier? I'm not sure...the first time you dont' know how you will handle it...how things will affect you...how lonely you will get....how frustrating it will be when you can't do something that he has always done for you....This time I know all that.

Of course this time I have a better job that's not so stressful, more money to pay others to do home items, and a mission. So it's all good...ride cowboy ride cause this isn't my first rodeo but hopefully will be my last for a while!
