Keep Calm

For my birthday I was able to pick out some presents, I got an "Army Wife" charm bracelet, and a necklace with the saying "Keep Calm and Carry On".  That necklace is the best way to sum up my life.  I absolutely hate the situation I am in, anyone who likes deployments has no business being in a military relationship.  However, I do everything I can to prevent the stress from getting to me. My life is not easy, it is not perfect, and though I can't change my situation, I can do my best to manage, everyday I must "Keep calm and carry on" no matter what life is throwing at me.

I personally feel as I have been doing well keeping up lifes curves and I've had quite a few thrown at me in the few months Kenny has been deployed, but I have faith in myself that I will be able to continue keeping a level head until this deployment is over. It seems as if everyday life throws me a new challenge, Caiden recently had strep throat, and at the same time we had just found out that he has some contagious skin virus that can take a year to actually go away.  Khloe's health issues are an on-going issue, and after her appointment at John Hopkins I am hoping that the new solutions they gave her will help her, but in a couple weeks we will see if improvements are being made. And then of course there is the drama that has entailed, but I'm making a personal choice to distance myself from it.  I'm tired of hearing negative things people say about me, and if no one has the audacity to say it to my face it's not worth the second thought.  I have so much other stuff I need to focus on then opinions I can't change.  The one thing I can honestly say is that there is never a dull moment in my life, but it at least keeps me busy.

I'm taking a few days and going with my family to their camper  and I'm hoping to get some what of a break, and take the opportunity to once again get ahead on school work. Kenny comes home in a couple of weeks so I don't want to worry about falling behind with my classwork.  Eventually I will learn how to take my down time and relax, but for now school work and house work take priority.

I''ll look at the bright side, only 9 months(ish) til the hubby comes home!
