Update to the new site

The easiest address to remember is http://www.karenproudarmymom.com/ and it will redirect you to the correct site but if you wish you can copy and paste the correct address which is http://karenproudarmymom.com/index  

I'm doing ok still awaiting to see if my son is going to re-enlist or not.  He keeps going back and forth so I wait.

Has it been that long?

Sorry guys, I didn't realize it had been that long since my last post.  I've been fighting with another website, that is my battle with trying to get another website up and running.  I'm happy to say I'm finally winning this battle. 

The website, well it goes along with my podcast, The Karen Proud Army Mom Show.  The website address is: http://www.karenproudarmymom.com/ .  I know there are a few military moms that follow this blog, (if they haven't given up already...it has been a while) and if you wouldn't mind doing an interview with me could you drop me a line here and let me know.  I'd like to have more interviews than the ramblings of a crazy person (me) the entire time. 

So what else is new, my son is still contemplating reenlisting.  While there's a part of me thinking, I don't want to go through another deployment, there's another part of me that says, I knew he was going to be a lifer.  I guess I'll always worry about him and I just need to suck it up.  I have to, because I'm an Army Mom right?  We're stronger than that.  Or show I say, I'm a Military Mom, we're stronger than that.  Because it doesn't really matter what branch it's all the same for a mom.  Unless of course it's a healthy competition then all bets are off. lol

Well I have to remember not to neglect this site so much.  I'll be back sooner.  Thanks for sticking around.

Happy New Year!!!!

So normally I'm not one to do New Year Resolutions but this time, I stepped on the scale on the 2nd and just about had a heart attack.  So what did I do?  I'm not officially on Nutrisystem.  I vowed to follow it like I'm supposed to and hopefully drop 30 - 40 pounds.  I've been on NS now for 4 days and so far so good.  The first day was hard but I wasn't prepared, forgot about the vegtables and fruit you must add to the plan or else there is just not enough food.  How does the food tastes so far?  Pretty good, but small portions...but I believe that's the point though. lol  Well, wish me luck and I'll keep you updated.

My soldier, well he's doing pretty good as well.  At the countdown, I called him on the phone because I was out of town and an hour ahead of him.  It was kinda neat, I counted it down and he was able to be there with me (sorta) and then he got to experience his own.  Win win for all.

With all the gloom and doom that we keep hearing about, I think I'll just settle on my own little paradise.  Your life is what you make of it for better or worse.  You just may have to get creative about it.  So better attitude for me I guess will be my second resolution.  I'll give it a shot.

Til next time,
