Ugggh, its inventory day at work and I'm really dreading it...This eventually came around with every retail/sales jobs I've held in the past but I hated it every time then too:p Although this time I am working ten hours straight tonight......blech....I have definitely worked more then this in one day but it feels different this time around seeing as I go in at 2:00 p.m today and won't get home until 12:30 a.m, but then have to be BACK at work by 6:30 a.m that same morning to start the inventory process. Thats like what, four hours of sleep...hssssss....Not to mention that our district manager AND regional manager are going to be there scanning right along side of me...A lot of big wigs in such a small store, makes me nervous....shudders...Good thing I'm told that Mike, the district manager likes me already, as he was the final decision maker on giving me the job...Now all I have to do is win over the regional manager:p
On a more positive note, EIGHT DAYS!!! Eight days until I head straight from work to Ft, Jackson, SC where I'll be watching R graduate Drill school the very next day!!! ( insert the, I'm so excited I could pee my pants dance here) Last weekend was a hard one for us both. The closer it gets to him returning home the harder it is to wait and let him leave each weekend!!! You'd think it be the other way around...Shrugs...Maybe its also because for the past two weekends, he's been leaving more and more of his stuff here at the apartment, so I'm getting to see more of him around the place now...Kind of solidifys his coming home that much more:)
Yesterday, it really it me though, about how hard its going to be not seeing him much in a week even though we're in the same town/bed every night. I guess I just had a (holy crap! this really is gonna be tough) moment...My first REAL one yet, I think:p But we all have them at some point right? I'm still sticking to my thoughts on this though... Might not have mentioned them yet, so here it is...I'd rather be only seeing him a few hours a week and know he's safe in my bed everynight, then have him in the sandbox and be out of my mind with worry for his safe return each and everyday...That thought is so sobering and completely snaps me out of any pity party I might be having!! It even worked yesterday during my holy crap moment:p I will definitely keep ya'll posted on our journey through the life of a drill Sgt. and his wife. I'm sure there'll be plenty of stupid/funny stories to share about antics the privates pull during basic...I know R has already shared a few with me and they're hilarious...Maybe I'll divulge next time:p Hope everyone has a wonder wednesday! I will post again tomorrow but most likely not until I've had a few hours of sleep:p I am one devoted blogger yo...peace-
You are so silly, refreshing, and fun.. and definitely a "Gangsta"... peace yo! You definitely have the right attitude though. You guys will be fine. It's nice to see a 'new' army wife with her head on straight. There are a lot out there that truly and honestly who just have no grasp on what they've gotten themselves into! And you take me as an example there will be days that are rougher than others... Just remind yourself how lucky you are to have your hubs and while he might not be with you as much as you or he may like it's not because he doesn't want to be there! And your support and steadfast attitude does more for your soldier than I think we spouses really get. PEACE OUT GANGSTA! :-p
ReplyDeleteHi sweetie! Thanks so much for leaving me that nice comment. I am not sure what I would do without my blog friends!! So many of you are such and inspiration to me and you all are such good people. If this is a taste of what military life/wives are like then I know I will make some wonderful friends where ever we go.
ReplyDeleteI love the slideshow you did, how did you do that?? You and your hubbie are so cute. Oh and I love the color of your bridesmaid dresses. We are getting married in February and I wanted to do black dressed with that color as an accent.
Thanks again, I look forward to your posts! =)
I'm glad you've only got a little over a week to go! That's exciting!!!
ReplyDeleteGirl, I feel you on the Mini Coop! I adore them! If I could afford to have 2 cars, I'd for sure get one, but unfortunately I've got to be a mature, responsible adult and choose practicality over fun. Boo!
ReplyDeleteUgh inventory is nooooo fun! I used to have to inventory my mother's hair salon and she buys every hair product known to man! I can kind of empathize with ya!
ReplyDeleteThat's so exciting that your hubby only has 8 more days until he is back home with you!
P.S. I tagged you on my blog!
ReplyDeletehope the time flies until you guys are together... for longer then a weekend!
ReplyDeleteaw, I'm excited for you guys to get to see each other again/his graduation!
ReplyDeleteI'm a little behind on my blogging once again! I know how excited you are to have him home this week. And you are so right.. even though he won't be around all the time, at least you know he's safe, in your bed. That in itself is a huge thing to be thankful for. But we're all human and I'm sure you will have your pity party moments.. noone can blame you for that. And we'll all be here with a little comment to put a smile back on your face :)
