I will admit, I’m a slob. I appreciate a clean house as much as the next and have my certain things that need to be a certain way. Aside from that I’m at the point of “Does it look clean?” As long as the answer is yes, then it’s clean. Writing this now is only further proving my point as I was in the middle of cleaning and am now procrastinating by looking at face book and blogging.

 I remember thinking at my old house how nice it will be to have carpet. What an idiot I was. Being fooled by the nice warm carpet under my feet as I wake up in the morning only to realize what a pain it is. Five bedrooms full of carpet and the hallway… Yikes. I’m so done with you carpet. I want my house full of hardwood back. Thank god my main level only has area rugs. Being the sole person to vacuum three times a day 365 is getting really old.

I, thankfully, have been one of those lucky women that has a husband that contributes to the cleaning. Unfortunately being deployed now, that doesn’t do me much good! So I will despise you [carpet] until my husband returns. Then I will reevaluate my hatred for thee.

Most people in life seem to know exactly what their future holds. Or at the very least an idea. Mine however seems to change on a daily basis. Being the wife of a man in the military certainly has it’s disadvantages. I am the type of person that needs some sort of plan. I want to know when, where, why, and how…

For a while my husband and I were pretty dead set on wanting to move to Japan. For once it felt like we finally knew what we wanted to do, where we wanted to do it, and exactly how it was going to happen. Now, well that has all changed. Now, we have no idea anymore. Or if it’s even possible thanks to the Army. The Army that has this ever firm grip on our lives which seems impossible to shake off at this point.

Ever see those little dogs being dragged by their owners that walk too fast and give no direction? That would be me. I want to be the big dog that drags the owners around in the direction I wish to go. I guess I need to decide which way before I can take the lead.
