EEEEKKK 25!!!

               So my 25th Birthday is right around the corner.  I am not sure exactly how I feel.  I knew that someday I would be 25... but people were not kidding when they said it would come fast.  Makes me smile knowing that there are people who feel really old now that I am almost 25 LOL. 
  
               I have to say that this last year, I feel like I have accomplished more than I have in any of the past years.  For that I feel accomplished and proud.  I finished my GED, I started and finished my professional administrative assistant courses and enrolled in medical terminology, electronic Health records, medical administrative assisting, and Medical billing... I start those in Aug.  The weirdest thing is that I am really excited to take them all.  I know they will be challenging and I think that's why. 


               I have remained the FRG leader, and ran that with flying colors, making the running total 2.5 years that I have been doing that.  I love it still.  I also recently became the admin the a Fort Riley Spouses facebook page.  Aside from all that, I have been job hunting and getting little one enrolled in school.  Both the boys are signed up to play soccer in sept.  School starts next month.  There is always something in this house.  Oh and I have quit smoking of course, which is kinda a big deal!  I do have one now and then, but I do not buy them, and not very often.  Certainly not an everyday thing. 


               I think that I have come a long way.  We will also be managing our first PCS (Moving) in 6-7 months.  I know that we will make it through, but I also know that is one of the most stressful parts of being an Army Wife.  Trusting all your life and belongings to some company!  That's rough.  I can not wait to be in Hawaii though.  I know it will not all be fun and games, I will have responsibilities, but when you are there, i bet they are a lot more fun to do HAHA.  Anyways the boys are going to the dentist later.. WHich they LOVE.   So have a good day!

Just cuz it zips....

    Just a though.... I know that it's hot.  If your not dying in the Kansas heat it has been about 9-105 here and sometimes higher.  No relief ever here lately and we are all paying for it.  On a normal, not so hot day, you can usually find one or ten wives who are under-dressed for the occasion.  By this I mean, they are wearing clothes 3 sizes to small. 
    Let me start by saying that, If your clothes are so tight you are bubbling out of them, your probably making yourself produce more heat.... certainly in those areas! NASTY! I have heard of a lot of "near throw up experiences" from people who have went to the commissary for milk and saw someones gut hanging out of unbuttoned pants.  So let me quote something that I read the other day..."During this heat wave, please respect others and dress for the body you have.... not the body that you want." 
   I like the fact that so many people seem to be so confident now days for whatever reason.  I am not even willing to go as far as most do.  Yes I am 125 pounds and 5 foot 2.... Im decently proportioned.  HOWEVER I am aware that my thighs are problem areas and that not everyone wants to see them damn things hanging out.  So when I swim and when I tan, I wear a bikini top and swim shorts!  I don't know how people or why they would want to.... Show off things like that to other people.  It's not cute, it's humiliating to the person doing it, and most the time they walk around and not care.
    Maybe I am like this because I am also the kind of person that doesn't stay in her jammies all day, can't stand not getting ready even if I am not going anywhere, and RARELY wears jammies out of the house.  ( no offense to people that do.) 
    So to quote yet something else that I have seen lately

JUST BECAUSE IT ZIPS...... DOES NOT MEAN IT FITS!!!!! Check a mirror before you leave the house!  Ill im asking is that you cover yourself.  Keep those clothes for your husband if he likes that kind of thing, or donate them.... I don't care.
