So tomorrow is another Monday for our household and millions of others...and just like those millions of others I hope that it starts out on a good night...we are re-trying husband physc doc tomorrow since he didn't show up to the appt his office manager had schedule for him..gee thanks doc for bailing on your patient great 1st impression..then the following week we meet with husband's new PCM...
Mondays in our house never seem to be normal or even quiet..but with 2 teenagers, 3 dogs, 2 cats, 1 wounded warrior and me to try to keep everything running who can say it's ever dull...which is far from being. Our week usually starts off with some issue of meds, appts, teenage drama or just something beyond our control..which in this week will be the same...good thing I love my family :-)

Down the Rabbit Hole...
Last night before I went to sleep I was just laying in bed with John...and I got to thinking what the best phrase was to sum up my life...and then I remembered the scene in Alice in Wonderland where she was looking for the White Rabbit and she fell down the Rabbit Hole...and then she's in Wonderland. Wonderland for me is the WTB and the MEB process.
That's my life...I've followed my husband from Ga to Ft Riley Ks...through 2 deployments and everything else...and now with everything going on in our lives now it feels like we're just falling...we see random pieces of our lives floating by us and other random things that just doesn't make any sense..hopefully one day soon we'll land back in the real world..til then we're wandering around "Wonderland"..we've had to adapt our lives and who we are to struggle through this new life and we've had to learn our way around a new part of the Army.
Wonderland in the Army as I've discovered is a completely different way of life..you have to learn to maneuver this life and deal with more unusual people that if you look at them they could be translated into characters...I've decided that the MEB board people themselves are the Queen of Hearts and they sit in their little room looking at peoples stuff and saying "Off with their heads" when they decide that someone is injured enough to get a better rating..my husband is the Mad Hatter for obvious reasons...most of the staff from the WTB kind of remind me of Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dumb since they seem to repeat themselves over and over and copy what everyone else is doing..just picture about 50 people running around in stripped shirts and shorts with knee socks..pretty humorous.
The Army is the Jabberwocky ~Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!" The Army has her claws in my husband til whenever so we have to be careful of this beast...and hopefully one day he can pick up the vorpal sword and slay the beast til then we hide and avoid it..
