planning in my life

[sweetpeatexas21]

i'm a planner. rasied that way. it has always worked great for me, especially with two kids. i plan my days out, what i'm buying from the store, etc. the military makes it slightly hard to do at times but i manage. my husband on the other hand is a very let things go how they go kinda guy. his days just happen (which they can since i plan everything that i need to do so he doesn't have to worry lol). some would say control freak, i would say....organized :)

right now i'm in major planning mode. my husband is getting surgery on his knee on the 18th. he will be home at least 30 days from work but won't be able to do anything for at least two weeks. so i'm gonna be on my own. i'm going to now have to add in taking my husband to dr appointments and making sure he has everything he needs before i leave the house and still be able to do day to day chores/running around. with two under 5, its going to take some juggling.

right after he is healed up enough, i have to basically do the exact same surgery he is getting. same knee too. my husband (the non planner) will have to manage a house and everything i do and both kids plus my daughter's school ALONE.

we are also moving back to texas in about 9 months (yay!!!!!). we are getting out of the army and going back to san antonio. so on top of all the normal stuff, our health issues, surgeries coming up, anna's school, i have to worry about getting out of the military and finding a house. kinda hard to do from another country esp with no help. my "let things come as they will" husband seems to think that a house and all this will just fall outta the sky and things will be fine. if it was just me and him, i wouldn't mind wishing for that or believing that. wouldn't matter. we could get a cheap apartment. but with two kids you have to add in a good neighborhood, decent schools, close to family, etc.

i don't even know why i'm writing this lol. it serves no purpose but to release tension. its just getting a little frustrating feeling like the only adult in the situation who really can't do anything.
