Back and forth

Recently I wrote about wanting to join the military. First of all let me state that I forgot to mention that my husband was planning on getting out. I wouldn't be against both of us being in the military if we didn't already have our daughter. Some branches won't even let me join being a military wife and having a daughter anyways.

But anyways, what I'm getting at is a decision has been made, I believe. We have literally gone in zig zags. Normally you would hear the term circles but what we did wasn't a circle. It was hectic and all over the place.

We went from him getting out and moving to Concord, NC while he gets his bachelors and I work. Then when he's done I go back to school again for my sonography degree. Or do my clinical hours at night or something.

Then it went to him getting out and me getting in. Problems being he would have been ok with it as long as it was any branch other than the Marine Corps. Apparently women in the Marine Corps are treated like pieces of meat and not respected? Or multiple other reasons.

So then we moved to him reenlisting and me joining. I was never for this it just got thrown on the table and tossed around a bit.

And then we moved back to just me in the military.

And now I believe we are back at our original plan of no one in the military and moving to Concord.

I just realized that once you have a family there aren't a lot of things you have to give up that actually hurt, but this is a big one. I'm going to be slightly grumpy for a minute or two but in the end it's the right decision for our family.

BUT if I decide to go back to school and become an Obstetrician then the Navy it will be. But I think I'm probably sticking with my bachelors or some decent job for a bit using that.

What I can tell you is that I have one hell of a headache and my eyes are crossing. Big life decisions such the life out of me.

Oh, and for whoever anonymously commented on my previous post complaining about my complaining and saying I'm just like who I'm complaining about... I believe I just made my point. And don't comment anonymously. The absolute worst I would do to you over a negative comment is delete it. But I would prefer you didn't comment at all. After all this is MY blog. I don't write it to make good reading for you. I write it to relieve the stresses of my day. So if you don't want to read I don't care. I just don't want to read anymore anonymous, or any negative comments for that matter.

I hate when people comment anonymously. Its like they want to say something not nice but wont put their name to it, it is frankly cowardly. Whatever. I hope you dont let them get to you. I dont think your blog has become a bunch of complaining. I love your blog still :).

I hope you two can figure out what is best for your family soon so you dont go crazy.
