9 weeks...

The past week has honestly been a blur. One more week closer to this shitter of a year being done with though. And we are down to…9 weeks! The single digit countdown of weeks is here!

So on Monday I attended an FRG meeting about redeployment. I thought maybe, just maybe, it would be semi-informative and I’d learn something.

(Note: FRG = Family Readiness Group. Basically it’s the group that runs meetings for spouses to let us know info regarding our soldiers.)

I was warned about FRGs awhile back, hearing that it’s a lot of bullshit, becomes very political and many of the wives tend to wear their husbands’ rank. I hadn’t gone to a meeting since May, but figured this one might be worth it. Nope. Nothing new. Shane will be home sometime late January. Well, no shit. For fear of the wrong people potentially reading this I can’t say all I would like, but I will say the following-

As time goes on, I have less and less patience for “Army wives.” I think I have a whole post on its way regarding that topic though. “Army Wives: the Fort Hood Edition.” Coming to a blog near you soon.

Okay what else. My week was a bit of a bummer for many reasons. But, being I’m married to the cutest man alive, I received a bouquet of sunflowers yesterday to “brighten” my day. What a guy, I know. :-)

I went to Austin last night for a much needed evening out. Literally all of my good Texas friends were in Austin, so it was a good time all around, minus the part where two friends and I were almost assaulted by a couple of crazies while trying to get a cab. Good times!

I will be moving in 3 weeks to my new apartment. I am getting excited! Oh, and I will be adding onto my flower tattoo in 2 weeks, on the day before my one year anniversary! Soon after that it will be December and I’ll be able to say “Shane will be home next month!” Ah can’t wait.

I’m pretty spastic (clearly) and in need of sleep right about now. Until next time…
