Vent
Oh my gosh ME a vent. Yeah I know soooo rare (insert sarcasm alarm here). I am taking courses. I am taking courses to get my certification. It is something I can do where I will still be Mom first and foremost and in my spare (insert laugh track here) time I can work. Why do I need to work you ask? Well there are a couple of reasons. I do not think I contribute enough to the house. I mean I bring in a few hundred a month here and there but still. I need to actually contribute. Plus my dear husband is retiring in 3 years. Not sit on his ass wear knee high black socks, sandals, bremuda shorts and tropical shirts type of retirement but a "I did my 20 years in the military give me my retirement check and benifits Thank you very much" type of retirement. Yes he plans on getting a real grown up job. Yes he plans on working until actual retirement age, heck he will only be 39 when he leaves the Navy.
OK off of him (haha ok I am dirty minded woman and don't think before I type). Back to me. He will retire and well I would like to have a cushion. I would like to know that if he happens to not get a job for a few months I could carry the family and provide for us. And OK God forbid, I am a realist, my husband does not have some ultra safe job. What if something happens to him? what if I am left to care for the kids (however many) on my own? Insurance takes it time as do the benies. And they don't last forever.
My vent? Well I try to study 3x a day. Once in the morning which is SUPER hard with the kids going to school and then the baby gets up. so I study at nap time I put aside cleaning and study. And homework hour you would think I could study...but no mom is the one that ALWAYS gets interrupted. Not even anything important. UGH. I know I know a Mom's work is never done.
But it is making me want a vacation or earplugs I cannot decide lol And with that #2 is in here staring at me so I have to go...
