This is my story of how I have done at letting go of some things. I started this blog when my son was in High School , during a deployment and facing big life changes. I have come out the other side of those changes. Emptynest, long since empty. Our son is now a Lt in the USMC and now we are facing exiting the Marine Corps possibly in the next few years. One thing I have learned is life is constantly in flux, so this is my life...in flux.

SEMPER GUMBY
Any military wife has their own version of this...Semper Gumby, Always Flexible. I get it..I got it..it's gotten. But really?? Really?? I am very flexible, how could I have survived 16 years of PCS, Un-Accompanied Orders, Tour Conversions, Valiant Eagle, WTI, CAX, Viper, Combat Deployments and all the other various operations and training movements without losing my mind without being flexible right?
Ok so today I am feeling a bit Semper Grumpy because I think I'm about to lose my mind this time...just once..just once can we just do it the way we were supposed too???
OPSEC forbids me to expand on this but please stay tuned, in the words of all good military men.... "Babe, when I know, you'll know."
UUUUUGGGGGGHHHHH
