I Passed the Mother

I realized that I never posted that I passed the Bar. I got sworn in and the next day we moved to Georgia, ah the life of an Army Wife!

To Work or not to Work

Is it a sign that our new down the street neighbors have a 19 year old daughter who wants to babysit and worked at a camp for special needs kids?

If it is a sign, then someone will knock on the door tomorrow offering me a job. Yeah right, but I am starting to wonder.

I am trying to get signed up to take the Georgia bar. There is an attorney's exam which is fantastic. I am not sure how I will have the time, but here goes.

Family Dog

My husband and I are at odds over having a dog. I am all for it, he, not so much. I am looking at stress relief and unconditional love. I think he is focused on hair and poop.

I was thinking retriever or lab. Our new neighbor is an MP and is in the K9 program. His opinion is german shepherd, but I don't think I could convince my husband.

H seems to like school all though he wants to stay home. I have to get up early to get him fed and dressed. Dressing will get easier, but right now we are getting used to uniforms. If the shorts or pants have belt loops, they have to wear a belt. Of course the px is totally out of brown belts. H refused to wear a striped belt with a rocket ship on the buckle, but had no issues wearing a belt with flames.

Reversal

I was so convinced that private school was the way to go, until we had our interview. Yuck, the woman focused so much on selling us, that she didn't clue into the fact that she was turning us off. I am not interested in College prep for my 1st grader. Also, suggesting that he repeat kindergarten because they did not cover double digit addition in his previous school is a no no.

So we went to open house at the public school and I cried the whole way home. I know that fifty percent of it is this damn deployment, but the other fifty is what I am going to have to ignore. The bright side is that the bus picks up and drops off two houses down which means I don't have to wake people up from naps, I just stand in front of the house. I have a feeling this will be sanity saving in three months.

Long Over Due Update

I have moved away from blogging, I am definitely going to start blogging again.

So here it is, we moved, bought a house, and now we are settling in. My dearest husband is headed out for Iraq shortly. I can hardly believe we are in this place again.

I have set some goals for this next year. Weight loss is the most important, time to shed all this baby weight. I am also going to sit for the Georgia bar exam.

I contemplated buying an rv and traveling all over the country for the deployment, but I figured that was probably not such a good idea.

So we've decided to enroll H in private school, which was a huge decision for us, both of us being products of public education. I really think it is important with this deployment that H have a small class and a small school. I am hoping for lots of attention and love for him.

I am back, stay tuned!
