Time to get a move on

2010-05-26T23:40:00Z

No matter how deep in denial I try to be, the time to move is evident. I think a big part of my problem - you know, beyond the fact that we haven't even been here a year - is that our last move from Maxwell was horrendous. We had an $8,000+ claim for damage and loss afterwards. The moving company representative came out yesterday to do a pre-move walk-through. Five minutes into the visit I felt at peace and believe it will be the polar opposite of our last Maxwell departure. He was ...

So fickle

2010-05-23T03:17:00Z

I am a woman. I have the right to change my mind at will. So, I am doing it yet again with regards to the blog. My sites at blogger.com will still have some content. But, I am going to try to work through the frustrations with GoDaddy and QuickBlog. We'll see how this pans out... But, don't count on too much content over the next few months. PCS is in full-swing.We will be leaving Alabama mid-June and hanging out in TLF and putting many miles on the van while visiting family until ...

Brain Injury Awareness Month

2010-03-11T03:04:00Z

Did you know that March is Brain Injury Awareness Month? I didn't until I received an e-mail asking me to includ an article on Traumatic Brain Injury on my blog. I agreed because TBI has touched my life.Many of you have heard me speak on occasion about the horrific helicopter crash that occured when we were in Italy and claimed six lives. The crew chief on that flight survived but with severe brain trauma. You can read his amazing story of recovery here. I agreed to include the article in honor of Mark Lalli, a true survivor.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Traumatic ...

Moving

No, not the entire household. Well, not yet, but that is coming up in late Spring, we just don't know where, yet.What I do know is that the blog is moving and where. With the new year, will now go back to blogger, where the blog originally started several years ago. I am tired of paying for domain, hosting, and especially Quick Blogcast and becoming frustrated everytime I want to make blog post. This site will remain up for quite a while as I slowly save my archives and try to get everything moved over here. I need less frustration ...

Going Dark

2009-12-16T09:40:00Z

Copied from Homefront Six because she rocks the wording. The milblogging world - this blog included - will be "going dark" for a bit in support of fellow milblogger, CJ Grisham. Maggie has the details but the crux of the matter is, The catalyst has been the treatment of milblogger C.J. Grisham of A Soldier's Perspective. C.J. has earned accolades and respect, from the White House on down for his honest, and sometimes blunt, discussion of issues -- particularly PTSD. In the last few months, C.J. has seen an issue with a local school taken to his command ...

Murder at Fort Hood

2009-11-05T23:52:00Z

Really news channels - it's not a freakin' "incident." And while it is a "tradegy" it goes so far beyond that . It seems almost disrespectful to not call it what it really is. It's murder. It's brutal and unexcusable.Some jackass on msnbc just laid out the case that the shooter having to listen to the soldier's under his care discuss and deal with thier time overseas could have very well led to his having PTSD.*gag*Once again I am proud to be a part of and associated with some elite groups. Military spouses are already rallying to do whatever they ...
