In Yuma I was a hermit. I even stopped going to MOPS and story time after a while for many reasons. Basically we didn't leave the house. We spent a lot of time in the yard in the pool when it was cool enough and we played inside a lot. Now that we are home all of that has changed, we are on the go! Between play dates and interviews and 5-6 trips to the gym a week it seems like something is always going on.
When I took this calendar out of the box it was marked for December 2012! I hadn't needed to update it since then because we didn't do anything! Now I even have Will checking the calendar every day to see what I am up to. I love it, I love doing something and having my kids play with other kids, I especially love being able to get out of the house on my own! I might not see my family all the time but just knowing that they are down the road and a phone call away from a play date is very comforting.
Hopefully I will have a job soon so all of this will change but even then I will have a different calendar filled with things just for me and my work! This, my friends, is one of the best parts about life after the army. It really makes me smile.
YEAH!! that is awesome, just leaving the house is a big difference. Enjoy and good luck with the job hunt! :) Kim
