Militarymama.net is the result of years of gathering with other military spouses and seeing that those of us who laugh are much better off than those of us who complain. Being married to the military makes you an instant member of a very special club. There are no dues, but you pay nevertheless. You move, you unpack, you reassure children that they will certainly make another best friend, you search out the best place for a haircut, you stand in line at yet another DMV for a new license ... And often you do all of those things (and so much more) alone.
Why do we put up with this crazy life? Each family has a different answer. Frankly, there are many days I forget exactly what our reason is! But I always remember this: I'd better keep laughing or I just might cry.
Writing is my favorite coping mechanism. If I can manage to wrap words around my problem and wrestle it onto paper (or a computer monitor in this case), then it somehow becomes less overwhelming. And often I'm able to see the humor in it.
My hope is that this website will be a fun place for you to escape every now and then. If misery loves company, then so does hilarity. And if you're a military mama, you know we have plenty of both in our lives. When you visit militarymama.net you will find something to laugh about, interesting stories about other families, and a few good tips to make your life just a little bit easier.
