My life, my goals.....

As I lay here, my mind just goes nonstop!  My mind reflects back to my life and all the life-changing events in it.  I stuck to my goals regardless of all the trials I experienced!  As a child, I wanted everything to be as close to perfect as possible.  I wanted my future and my future kids to be able to live a stress free childhood.  I set my goals when I was younger like 13 and I can remember every one of my goals too.  They may not mean much to someone else, but to actually say that succeeding all my past goals I set as a child is a rewarding feeling!

My goals were:

• Always have my own transportation (I don't have a clue how to take the bus)
• Finish high school
• No kids until I graduate from college
• Graduate from college
• All my kids to have the same father

In life, you set goals and go for it.  Once you reach them, you make new ones!  Some goals may not go as YOU may have planned, but that's okay!  It's not the end, get back up and keep going!  I have new goals in place, no time frame set at the moment...but I plan to attack them soon!  Many people somehow get the idea that stay at home mothers are lazy and lack the brains or education, that's so not true!  So many of us stay at home mothers have more drive than you may think.  We just may not boast about our successes to others, or have plaques hanging on our entrance walls of our house.

Don't allow yourself to envy others for their successes!  Get that "drive" and set your own goals and go for it!  If things don't go as planned, it's okay...you're not in total control of your life anyhow HE is.

 

Good luck my goal setters!!!

Military Wives.....Does Your Husband Rank Control You?

I've been affiliated with the military for 11 years.  I've seen some pretty interesting things.  However, the one that I would like to give my opinion on is rank.  I've came across some of the snottiest wives in the military.  Why, you ask?  Because they're too concerned with the rank of the other military wives husband.  I could never really understand this whole "click" deal.  Why on earth does your husbands rank control who you decide to have a friendship with.  Half the time, no one really wants to even create a friendship with these wives in the first place.  Military wives should all come together as one.  We're all in this for the same reason right?  You really can't tell honestly.  After 11 years, different assignments, I can count about 3 good, honest military wives that won't stab me in the back.  Most of them can't be trusted, they pretend to be one way with you and then change up when other "clicks" come around.  What kind of authority do you really think you have just because your husbands rank is higher than someone else's.

All of the higher ranking husband wives are so snotty, except for myself.  I'm the person who you'd love to hang out with.
