Sick!
I hate being sick!! I am stuffy and congested and blah…
I think I am maybe starting to get a bit better but it comes and goes so I have to wait and see. Either way I have to get back to work tomorrow and hopefully be better because I won’t really have a real day off again until the 11th, gotta love the military.
I used to think I would make the military a career, I wanted to be in at least 20 years. Once I got in I still thought that way, it was fun and structured and what I needed and wanted…at the time. I am started to branch out now and thinking maybe I don’t want to do the full 20, maybe now I am capable of being on my own without the tons of structure. I am starting to think of being a teacher again. I had thought of it before and liked the idea but was never really sure but left the idea alone, now I am thinking it might be fun. I have another four years to go on my enlistment which is fine, it’s a lot of time to think but now I am more open to branching out. There are a lot of things to think about like job stability, insurance, where to live and all of the questions that are easily settled by just being in the military, maybe it is all stuff I just decided to avoid by joining the military, it was an easy answer when I couldn’t make any other decisions. We will see how it goes but at least I am finally thinking about other things and I think I am going to start going to school again, not a lot all at once but start on it.
Funny how a couple days of being sick leads to some life decisions, this is what happens with so much time to think. I am also leaning towards waiting on kids. I *really* want them and my family and friends are pushing but I have only just recently hit actual happiness with my husband without all of the crazy stress and issues. We still have stuff to work through but we have finally grown up and are just getting our money together and I want to enjoy it. I will still give him the looks when we pass kids and poke and pester him but honestly, I think just not right now. That also rolls into the potential teaching idea, I want to concentrate on school and setting up my life and though I may not be done with school by the time we have kids I want to at least get everything rolling first, get all of the bills paid off that we can and enjoy some time with just me and the hubby for a bit. I can finally have the honeymoon period I never got, why should I try to cut it short?
