Are you kidding me?

The Colonels' list has been pushed back yet again- to "late March to early April".

So very frustrating!! I guess they did the same to the SNCOs too. Although they now have an official release date of 20 March. 

the waiting goes on...

The promotion list was sent to the OSD, but theyve pushed back the timing to end of Feb/early March.

patience is not one of my fortes

Being a "Modern" Mother

Yesterday on Morning Joe, they had a guest who spoke of Modern Parenting.  And I found myself fascinated, more so than the previous story on the Chris Christie mess.

I felt so un-alone (is that even a word?) in my current mothering-stage!! Being a mother to a teenage daughter is hard. Add Aspergers to the mix and things get real ugly at times. That's whats been going on in my house- I'm the worst parent ever and don't know anything about anything- even though I have the college education (not to mention the life experience) to back me up. Frustrating to say the least. But I keep smiling and hope that the next hour gets a little bit better and that the mood of my teenagers is more pleasant than before. :)

Will post more soon

I haven't forgotten this blog, honest! Things have been a little busy, crazy, confusing. As our military career winds down (it's been 19+ yrs!) and we try to think about life outside of the Air Force, we get nervous and anxious. 

Yet there could still be a couple more assignments in store so we're waiting for the promotion list to come out this month. One more promotion means a few more years in the military. 

So more to come ...
