About You
Hi Military Mom-Spouse. I know you. By now, you’re on your what, 5th move? Maybe it’s your 1st move? Your daughter laments at losing another boyfriend, missing another school dance, changing schools again or worse, “I can’t believe you’re making me miss my prom”. Husband gets to leave a job that he either loved or loathed, but either way, he’s off to a new exciting adventure.
I know you.
You’re sitting there in the midst of unpacked boxes, wondering where in the world are the kids’ school records and the baby’s shot records. Better get the young ones signed up for some kind of summer activity before they drive you crazy. And where are we in the home schooling curriculum again? Gotta keep them on track lest anyone say they’re stupid.
I know you.
Heck, I am you. In the midst of all that chaos, when you’re keeping track of the kids’ school progress or diaper changes and wondering how to systematize the unpacking. And lucky Dad/Hubby. He gets to leave a job and walks right into another one, tailor-made for him, his name already on the door/wall/cubicle.
But what about me? I mean, you? This is about you right? No, it’s really about all of us.
To be a military stay-at-home mom or working spouse has to be one of life’s greatest challenges and sometimes the rewards are slim-pickin’s. We don’t get an “end-of-tour medal.” We don’t get recognized for how we maintain a seamless transition that could potentially be catastrophic for all involved. But we do get the gift of living a very full life, one that demands us to embrace every situation as an adventure. At the very heart of us, there is a drive, a passionate fervor to do more, to be more and to serve the world in other extraordinary ways. To learn, once and for all, how to “prosper where you’re planted.”
Yes, to raise our kids at home is an honor. Not always fun, but an honor. To build a successful career in a demanding workplace is a welcome challenge. Not always easy, but for you, it sure is worth it at the end of the day. But sometimes all we need is to understand and be understood when it comes to facing a deployment, planning your next move, keeping your career on track, or just connecting with a family of like-minded women who “get you.”
