So I watched the movie Julie/Julia and got inspired. Not that I think anyone will ever read this, but it could be cathartic for me. My crazy life revolves around a husband, 3 step-children, two dogs, two cats, 8 chickens, and a less than wonderful disability. I started on this particular journey about six years ago.
Six years ago I joined the US Army. I wanted to make it my career but sadly it was cut short but an injury. This injury is what gave me my handicap. Maybe in future blogs I will go into that, not right now. When I got out of the Army I moved to Maine. This is where I met my husband. He came ready made with a family, so it was diving straight into the deep end of the pool for me.
I went from being a single soldier to a married mother in minutes. Motherhood was something that I always dreamed of but not ever really thought it would happen for me. To have it happen all at once and three at once was overwhelming to say the least. It meant that I had to do some serious catching up to do. I was programmed into drill sergeant mode and that is not good for three kids who are in between two warring parents.
So far this has definitely been the most challenging and rewarding job of my life. I know it will continue as will this blog.
