Fun With The FRG

Our meeting this month was absolutely wonderful...nearly perfect, in fact. We threw a huge birthday party for everyone who graced us with their presence(s). There were many games for the kids and even a couple for the adults. Pizza and cupcakes for dinner. Great company and great conversation were had by most. {Begin Rant} There was a "new" member who shall remain nameless. This person really pissed me off very quickly with his/her better-than-thou attitude and condescending behavior and comments. I did, however, fight the urge to throw some words and actions his/her way -(yay for adult, grown-up me!) Later I found out that this person had irritated pretty much everyone (this actually made me feel better). Usually we would have tried to include this person and find out what's going on and why he/she acted that way...but this person actually belongs to another company so they can deal with it now :). We are a very strong FRG and are not going to let someone ruin what we have worked very hard to build and maintain throughout this entire deployment. It's too close to the end to

let it all fizzle. I love our FRG!! ♥

A Full Day

Yesterday was a very full day for us. We were out of the house most of the day. And when we were home, we were busy. The morning started with a pancake breakfast supporting one of my friend's sons' soccer team. It was very yummy and Bucky ate 4 pancakes! We came home after that to bake some cookies for the FRG cookie exchange. While I was baking, he was enjoying playing in the bathtub. For those of you who are not saying "Why were you not in the bathroom?", the bathroom and kitchen share a wall and I can hear him the entire time. No worries. And I did share the beaters with him so all's good. Anyway, we had our cookie exchange and that, too, was very yummy. I love those girls! Lots of comic relief and stories to share. All in all a very good time! After that we ate at Outback with Lisa and her kiddos because I needed a good steak. Then we headed back to my house for chill out time. It's great because the kiddos can watch something upstairs and we can watch something downstairs. Everyone's happy - win-win :).

We Have An Awesome FRG

When you are an Army Wife you hear some horrible stories about FRGs. It's definitely one of those situations where you only hear the bad, never the good. A Co,  however, is definitely the exception. We have a wonderful FRG. No drama, good talks, good venting without being looked down upon, and a variety of personalities that mesh well. Everyone is very willing to help out a fellow wife if needed or help us laugh if that is what is necessary. I am very thankful for all the ladies and what they have to offer and bring to the group. They make it so much easier to get through very difficult times. We truly are a big, dysfunctional, loving, supportive family and I love it!
