Not a pirate looking at 40 but a mother looks at 40
I am a 40 year old mother to three very handsome, polite and intellgent young men. I also suffer from a lack of modesty….as evidenced from the above sentence. I have been journalling for sanity for most of my life so I decided to bump it up a notch and share my feelings and thoughts and opines with all of you!!! I am facing one of the biggest challenges of my life and certainly my biggest challenge of motherhood. Yes, it’s hard to get up 10 times a night with a newborn and bandage skinned knees and even to get the party treats to Elementary School on time or better yet–handing over the keys to the car to your inexperienced offspring. BUT, that doesn’t hold a candle as to how it feels to let my first born go…..go to Iraq to fight in a war that many don’t even agree with. So join me in my journey….I promise there will be many ups and downs and I will need your strength every step of the way!
Shell you know I did a 6 year hitch with the USAF 87-93 yes?!!
I’m very pleased to learn that your 20 yr old son is in fact a K-9 handler!!! AROOOOOOOO!
I dated 1 of those back in the day(mine was probably 20 yrs old too BUT defintely female!!!) & if there was only 1 thing she taught me it was this much—
“Canines do it doggy style!”
Now if that doesn’t have ya in tears ROTFLYAO I don’t know what will!!
