I've been saying since the beginning that I wanted to participate. But like I've said my life has seemed to have gotten away from me lately.
Anyway, I finally get to participate! Yay!
This week’s questions are:
1. What is ONE thing you’d like civilians to understand about being a military family?
That the "extra" money we get during deployment is not only not enough but doesn't even begin to make up for the fact that my husband is gone for.a.year! Yes, the money is nice but I'd much prefer to have my husband home than a few extra dollars.
2. What is your favorite mistake?
Mine would have to actually be a favorite mistake of my husbands. See my husband and I dated on and off in high school and then split up for several years. During this time he was married and had my two oldest children. Without his "mistake" I'd never be blessed with my oldest children. (This really is the abbreviated version of this story - maybe I'll have to tell it one day.)
3. What indulgence could you give up for a year?
I honestly can't say that I have an indulgence. The only thing I can think of is my Dunkin Donuts Iced Coffee. and I am NOT giving that up! I've already cut myself back to one a week but that's as good as it's ever gonna get :-)
4. If you could be a winged animal, what would you be?
I would be a fly. Originally I was thinking some sort of bird because I didn't want to be a fly and sit on poo all day; but I think I'd like to be a fly so I could visit my kids at daycare and see what goes on everyday. Even though my kids are in daycare on post, I still always worry about what happens when the parents aren't there. (And it's not that I'm not comfortable with our daycare, I actually love them, it's just always something I've thought about.)
5. What is one question you’d like to see asked in a future MFF?
Do you set goals for yourself during deployment? What are some of them? (Oops, sorry. I guess that's technically two :-)
