this course sucks!

So the CCC is killing us! One of the wives and I were discussing how short-tempered it makes our husbands. The annoying part is that it's just this one instructor so apparently everyone else gets out early and gets lunch breaks meanwhile our husbands come home, bite our heads off and lock themselves in their offices to do homework until about midnight (on a good night). Then on the weekend, my husband sleeps all day to make up for not sleeping all week. Fun times. Apparently they switch instructors halfway through. I just remember before getting here all the other guys telling us this course was a piece of cake. This is the nastiest piece of cake I've ever eaten!

yup, still not good at blogging...

Since my last post, I went to Columbia, SC to visit with Ellen and Keri. The trip was way too short but I'm glad I got to spend almost a day with each of them. I probably hadn't seen Bella in over a year and she has grown a lot since then. I still can't really understand the baby babble but I can pick out some words and sometimes string up a sentence from them. I also got to meet the infamous Miss Skylar. She's awfully cute but a little cranky on the day I chose to see her. Stubborn as a mule! In the last few months I've gotten to see a lot of different friends interact with their kids. From my best friend since high school, to college friends and then army friends...it's interesting to watch.

Since my trip to Columbia, not much has happened. I tried unsuccessfully to get a volunteer position at the pharmacy. I have made no progress in my attempts to be a housekeeper or cook. I skipped the gym yesterday which brings me dangerously close to the downward spiral of never going again. My dogs are as unruly as ever and class seems to keep my husband forever on edge. Fun times!

I was hoping to go on a trip to Vegas with some of my childhood friends but then I realized as an unemployed army wife, that's really not feasible at this time. My nephews were supposed to come visit us next week but the plane tickets are too expensive. So the next thing I have to look forward to is the army spouse orientation. I know, sounds exciting...don't be jealous. I also lost my workout partner last week because her husband came home from NTC. I probably won't see her again until he deploys in a few months.

But I am determined not to get into a funk. There are tons of things that need to be done, I just don't want to do them. Somehow I need to just get it together and soon!
