Quality or Quantity?

I see the new year is upon us! Yes, I am about a week behind the rest of you. I am at a crossroads with my beloved blog. I just received a promotion at work to a full time mangerial position....yes, my wonderful part-time job, with just the right number of hours and on the most coveted days...is now not mine anymore! I guess this is bittersweet for me. On the one hand, I have eased myself back into the world of full time work. On the other side, my days of deciding what I want to do (on my time off) are now gone. That brings me back to my blog.

Since I don't have all the extra time I had before, my time is now limited in coming up with new ideas and writing blogposts. I absolutely love blogging and writing, so have decided to post only when I have something interesting or valuable...or at least in my eyes....to say. Please continue to email and ask questions and of course post your comments. I still get about thirty or so emails a day...mostly from new Army wives. I hope to continue to help where I can.....my main purpose in even blogging in the first place. And for those of you who do blog every day AND work full time, I would obviously love to know your secret!

So, adieu readers for today. Continue to stay strong in the new year. Take a look back and see why I don't do new years resolutions if you need something thoughtful to get you going today. Happy and wonderful 2009 to you all!

Did You Know About the Army Relocation Program?

I just got another email from a brand new Army wife. I already directed her to some of my posts on moving, especially overseas, where she is going. But in addition to that, here is another resource for you. The Army actually has an official program on moving. Where was this five years ago?


When you know your new duty station, you can investigate the Army's Relocation Readiness Program of your new post...here is Ft Eustis' program to give you an idea of what I am talking about. Army Community Service (ACS) runs this program. Find an Army post in your area and google "the name of the post, ACS, relocation readiness program"...get the resources now...before you move...and specific to your location. You can also read more about the program at Go Army Relocating.

Has anyone used this program?
