PCS - Top 5 Things My Husband Will Miss About Me

After I wrote my top five, I asked my husband to tell me his top 5 things that he will miss about being away from me.  I made sure he knew I was blogging about it.

Here goes, what Lew will miss about me is...

PCS - Top Five Things I Will Miss While My Husband Is Gone

For the last few weeks I have been thinking about all the things I am going to miss while my husband is gone for a year. When he deploys I actually feel more sorry for him than me because deployment conditions are crap. But, now he will be in pretty nice surroundings so I actually feel sorry for me this time. So here are my top five things I will miss while the hubs is away:

Newly Home-Schooled Teenager = Frustration

If you want give yourself the ultimate test of patience, home school your teenager that has been in regular school all their life! My oldest daughter asked to be in virtual school to get caught up and placed in her correct grade. I made the mistake of making a deal with her and underestimating her. Basically I lost!

PCS - I Can't Help Myself, The Bucket List Begins

I know that there is still a chance that we will not go to Germany, but I just can't help myself. I am so damn giddy about this assignment. My husband has not seen me this excited about anything in a while. I have always wanted to go to Europe and I never thought it would happen.

For the past week I have been talking about all the things I want to do. I decided that I would not repeat my mistakes from my time in Japan. I will not stay on base, but instead be adventurous. For goodness sakes, who goes to Japan and does not go to Tokyo Disney? (this girl) I will learn to speak different languages even if it is just a few choice phrases.

I have already been planning my bucket list. Here are a few of my choices:

PCS - Ahhhh The Stress Begins

We are over a year out from moving, but I am super stressed. My first area of concern is our medical clearance. This process is a beast when you know there are things that can cause issues in the process.

Big News...

My husband, who is in the Air Force, was selected to relocate to Korea for a year...WHAT!?

Let me tell you what happened.

Princess Week 2.0 Show and Tell

Week 2 of summer vacation was just as busy as the first.  I am probably going to be shunned for what I am about to type, but here goes: being a stay at home mom is a lot harder than being a working mom! 

I have done both and I am exhausted and feel less like myself now that I am back at home full time. 

The highlight of  the week was Charlie's Show and Tell on Friday. 

It was so adorable, so I wanted to share that instead of the blah blah blah boring stuff. 

Princess Week Awesomeness!

Last week was Charlie's first week out of "school." It was a big transition for both of us. She seemed quite happy to be home with me. On the other hand, I think the adjustment was a bit harder for me. First, I was dealing with some big news (more on that to come in the future) and when ever I have "infinite" time at home I procrastinate on everything! 

Anyhow, the highlight of our week was the princess activities we did. I did not plan a huge amount of things. I just found princess coloring pages here and activities here. 

Every evening I would pick something for the next day and we would improvise with what we had.
