HOUSEHOLD 6 (Life as a Military Wife)

I know hate is a strong word, but I feel strongly about this! I hate Military civilian doctor's (not service members who are doctor's in the Military, but the civilian contractors that the Military hire). I have had nothing but bad experiences with them (other than the one and only pediatrician to ever listen to me about my youngest son). I had a gallbladder that was going "bad". I lived in pain for 2 years, spent many nights in the hospital and countless visits to these so called "doctors". The ...

Spring is here and we are loving every minute of it. We went to the farm this past weekend (my Mom's house in West Virginia up in the mountains). Rode some 4 wheelers and did some target shooting. I finally got to shoot my new shot gun and Jerry got to sight in his new rifle. I shot that too! LOL.

Well Jerry had his first appointment through MilitaryOneSource tonight. It went well.
