Like, I h...I understand the lack of sympathy thing. Like, I have little to no sympathy for people who complain that the nearest Target is 30 minutes away or Amazon took 3 days to get something to their doorstep instead of the promised 2. Talk to me when you can't get to a real store (of any kind, literally) without paying a few hundred dollars for a plane or ferry ticket, or when the postal service promises 3 day priority but it literally never takes less than 7 days, sometimes longer. Or when a company wants to charge you $25 to ship a $10 item, or when they won't ship it at all because they treat Alaska like a 3rd world foreign country. I think it's like Rachel said...we all have different things we deal with that others just simply cannot understand or relate to.<br /><br />Also....this might sound mean but I've always thought Jett was cuter than Scout...sorry, haha.Angihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00394336849612797834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-60907054324840646512015-03-12T08:58:52.966-05:002015-03-12T08:58:52.966-05:00Jett is adorable.

I hate that movie. It creeps me out and the reading the book and the kid in the fairytale are both whiners. Of course he fell asleep a few minutes in. BLAH. <br /><br />ANYWAY. I think Jett is cute. <br /><br />It kills me when women are like I can't sleep if Blank isn't home. What? Get right with that. Or when they make a big deal about a weekend apart (by choice) because I know there are many like you who have husbands or wives in war zones. This is one of the last things we should be whining about.SMD @ lifeaccordingtostephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884611147965544589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-6018206822792512632015-03-12T07:22:13.810-05:002015-03-12T07:22:13.810-05:00I love that movie, Falcor is awesome!I love that movie, Falcor is awesome!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092211937888152360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-29226849482886308612015-03-12T07:04:10.349-05:002015-03-12T07:04:10.349-05:00It's probably because Jett is kind of a ginger...It's probably because Jett is kind of a ginger.

..."He looks like the dragon" HAHAHAHA! <br /><br />And the kids in your class scare me! I can't believe they've seen The Walking Dead & The Ring! Geez! That just seems so crazy to me! <br /><br />And the part about the wives whining.... oh good God that really annoys me so much! I always want to just tell them to shut up, but I'm too nice for that, so I usually just smile & say, "yeah... it sucks, I'm sorry" or something along those lines but my insides are screaming at them to just stop talking.

Also--Jett looks nothing like that dragon and he's freaking adorable. It's not just a "you" thing. And I'm dying to know--were your leggings from K-mart? As far as the spousal separation thing...girl...I don't know how you survive. I can't compare anything army wives go through to normal life. At all. I'll admit it breaks my heart when J and I have to do life things apart mostly because we signed to "support each other for life" so when we aren't together, my world feels a little off kilter--but I can't IMAGINE what you guys go through. A friend of mine just got her husband back after an 8 month deployment (their first). It's an experience I can't pretend to know how it feels. You're so strong, love.Joey Hodges https://www.blogger.com/profile/03924167639294786738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-60884880994425554072015-03-12T06:20:50.694-05:002015-03-12T06:20:50.694-05:00Oh my goodness!

Dylan got me hooked on it last year and I started it on Netflix a few days ago. I'm just now able to watch it by myself and not jump every time those things pop out. Watching it when James was a newborn and I was up multiple times a night was not a good idea because I was constantly tell myself zombies aren't real and that I didn't have to worry about them being in my house, ha! <br /><br />I know everyone can miss their person (or deal with whatever it is differently) but I do tend to judge based on experience. I try not to complain about that type of stuff because I know others are dealing with much more.

That cracked me up.<br /><br />I think our own experiences always lead us to be less sympathetic in certain areas...that's not always a good trait, but it kind of just happens. I know I tend to roll my eyes at ex-pat complaints....and my mom, probably as a result of the 7 of us kids, doesn't have a high tolerance for people who complain about how 'hard' birthing/raising/managing one or two or three is.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894832851934334471noreply@blogger.com
