The past week or so I have felt overwhelmed. To be honest this is a relatively foreign feeling to me. Now dont get me wrong, I'm no polly anna, but I just feel like laying around and watching Jersey Shore marathons and I have too much to do.
I think my feeling of being overwhelmed has come from actually having too much to do, being pissed off that my husband has hobbies (and he actually does them), and being irritated with the fact that most of our military community believes that I am supposed to drop everything for a FRO meeting or ladies a lunchin. News Flash... but, Im not a step-ford wife and this isnt 1950. Dont get me wrong, I am greatful for this military life and the benefits it brings. But, I think its a about damn time someone said... "hold up, wait a minute, its 2011 and we have personalities too."
Ohmygosh THANK YOU!!! I have been struggling with the exact same dilemma - the military CLAIMS to be all about encouraging and supporting families, but virtually NONE of their actions uphold this claim. UGH so frustrating. Anywho just wanted to say "I hear ya, girl" ;)
