It’s been A DAY in the llama house. I believe the military spouse circles refer to it as the “deployment curse”. I woke up with my right eye crusted shut, red, and disgusting. My work offers teladoc appointments so I was “fortunate” enough to have my pink eye diagnosis by 8am. Pharmacy did not open…
“I Had to GO!”
– a mama & munchkin misadventure Yesterday was rough. I was determined to make today better. I made a plan to go for a walk: gets us all some fresh air, gets the dog outside (he’s depressed without his favorite human) Win- Win. I got my shower, got the kids dressed, and we head to…
“The notch”
Oh hey world- just borrowing mama’s blog for a moment. Like my new haircut? Did it myself while mama was trying to make her coffee #soproudofmyself . Here’s the before and after for your viewing pleasure. For some reason mama doesn’t appreciate my initiative and has locked up all of the scissors. But I’m not gonna let…
Out With a Bang….
-a mama, munchkin and mutt story So our Marine (I guess I should call him our Soldier now but Marine has nice alliteration so bare with me) deployed last week. The first one for our family and the goodbyes were a little rough to say the least. But it was right in the midst of…
Monkey Poop
-a mama & munchkin horror story It’s begun. Hubby started his active duty orders earlier this week but with Covid-19 they are trying to get more stuff done online before they leave. That luckily means that he is with us a little longer before he goes to a galaxy far far away. On the negative…
Pre-deployment Play-doh
The Army has plenty of pre-deployment exercises to ensure their soldiers are ready but don’t have much for the families in terms of “ways to prepare”. But never fear friends. I have two munchkins that rise to the occasion daily in order to make sure I am prepared as possible for our upcoming battles. The…
Take Cover!
-A mama, mutt, marine short story Y’all. It’s getting real around here. Real ridiculous. We had a long, but fun, day. Jesse and I finally got the kids down, he starts playing video games and I sit at the table to check emails and fall into the mindless rabbit hole that is social media. Dogs…
Scooby Doo and the Case of the Missing Poop
-a mama, munchkin and mutt mystery Just in case you think it’s all shits and giggles over here right now…. For some reason Godzilla baby is having bladder/bowel control issues. I’m not sure if it has to do with PTSD from the toilet saga and he’s terrified, or if it’s because he’s missing dada and…
The Pipe, the Shower and the Keys
– A mama, munchkin and dada adventure Prologue This is really just another chapter in the car, dryer, pipes saga. We *thought* we had our lives together again. Car was peacefully put down and is now in car heaven, new dryer is installed and working beautifully, and the pipes? Well, they were good for a…
Where there’s smoke- there’s fire…
-A Mama and Mazda short Mama llama is taking the show on the road and has a Spanish teacher’s conference to go to this week. Since it’s so far away I planned on heading up the night before, staying with my aunt and sleeping in a little bit in the morning. My car needs new…
