Let me start this blog off by saying that I am VERY proud of my husband who is in the process of being promoted to Chief (E-7) in the US Navy Reserves. Only 3% of enlisted Sailors ever make this honor, so this a pretty big deal. The official grand ceremony will be on September 18th. Until then, he is in the training/induction phase and it's keeping him very busy. VERY busy. If he's not doing PT (physical training) he's in a meeting, a training session, conducting a fundraiser, giving back to the community, or studying. So, for the most part, I'm pretty much pulling double duty around the house.
I'm so tired. Don't get be wrong, I'm not complaining, I'm just saying. I respect my hubby's duties, and know that he's tired too... but seriously, I'm exhausted! These past few weeks remind me of what it was like when he was gone for a month on Active Duty.
These past few weeks have really made me appreciate parenthood, and now more than ever, I have the utmost respect for single parents! I can't even imagine what it must be like for wives who have husbands deployed for months and months at a time. That must really suck.
So when I'm tired, and think I can't do any more, I must remind myself of these strong women... then just keep on keeping on!
Thank You

I totally hear you! Have you ever seen that show Teen Mom? MJ thinks I watch it so I can feel better about my parenting skills. But really, I recognize how truly hard it is to be a mom, in general. We have it pretty good!
