Military Appreciation Month

How did I know it was Military Appreciation Month?

Because my husband was groped at Sunflower Market yesterday. I'm sure he loves a good groping now and then, but when it is by a homely-looking woman and her 90 year old mother, it might be a slightly different story.

She didn't explain why she was embracing Steven until after she had held him for at least a good five seconds. I don't even hug him for five seconds so I thought she was either REALLY lonely or she had some legitimate reason to fondle my husband mid-day in the grocery store.

Turns out, the touchy feely old bag was hugging my husband because it's Military Appreciation Month. Oh boy. So I'd like to say thank you to all of Steven's fellow service member for signing up for the military.

Alright, well that's done. Let's see what other appreciation-type things are official this month:

National Better Sleep Month.... yeah... right.
National Asparagus Month- Because everyone needs a little more asparagus in their life
National Hamburger Month- nom nom nom
National Month of Man- Oh give me a break.

Okay. I'm not going to inflict any of these other silly national months on you... but a National Kick Ass Moms Month should be instated stat.

Tada!


So... here it is. My new blog. Isn't it cute?



What? Those little furry things up at the top don't do it for you? I'm okay with that. Those little things up there remind me of my kids. Hairy, mostly happy, and above all, cute little monsters.

Don't expect much out of this post because I'm writing it way too late. I'm missing out on sleep just so I can indulge you. You should be thanking me. Really. I'll accept money as well. K...go.

I'd like to take this time out to also mention that it is extremely hard to write anything witty whilst your husband is snoring next to you.

So, I'll tell you about myself because there is no way I am sleeping now.

I'm Jocelyn. Military wife, Stay-at-home mom, all that jazz. I'm horribly cynical and I'd like to think that I'm pretty funny but I'm sure my friends would disagree.

and... BAM!
There I am.

















I'll try not to inflict so much awesome on you all at once again.

Well, maybe one more time...












BLAM!

Those are my awesome kids. Jude monster is on the left over there, and Evelyn monster is on the right. How the hell do I resize these pictures anyway? Forget it, too much effort.

So, um. Keep up with my on-goings. I'm sure I'll be nearly as cool as those jellies you used to wear 15 years ago.
