You told me time never waits, well that's okay because I don't wait for time ♥
I love Jack Johnson. All of his songs just make me so calm and happy and want to kick back and relax :)
On a side note, I went to our monthly FRG meeting yesterday because I didn't have to work. I felt sooooo out of place there. The FRG leader is nice and approachable, but no one else is, I feel. There were a total of 6 of us at the meeting, not including the kids. I talked to one wife for a brief moment and when I told her my husband just went, she just kind of gave me this look and stopped talking to me. The rear D 1st sergeant briefed us on what is going on and approximate coming home dates, and what to expect when the soldiers return and when they will be able to take their block leave. I know my hubby just left but I'm so excited for him to come back lol. It sucks being by yourself :(
The meeting lasted a whole 20-25 minutes, if that. I grabbed a bite to eat and then just left, because I was literally just sitting there. Two wives (one of them I spoke to earlier) were sitting in front of me making small talk and then the rear D 1st sergeant's wife was sitting behind me with her hubby talking. The FRG leader was speaking with the commander's wife on the other side of the room...so after sitting there for a few moments, I just got up and left. It was way too awkward.
I'm going back to work tonight after having nearly 2 weeks off. It should be interesting. I'm actually preparing myself to be on-call, though, since last time I had a large break in between working I was put on-call. We'll see, though.
I don't blame you for leaving. Sadly people don't know how to include new people :(
ReplyDeleteGive it one more go. Maybe more will come and you will have a different experience
Yeah :( I just feel so out of place because I don't have kids...plus most of the FRG members are SAHMs and I'm obviously not...I have a professional career. A friend told me spouses may hate me just for working! I'm also a very shy and quiet person until I get to know someone, then I really open up...that could also be the problem :/
DeleteI'm trying to approach it with an open mind but so far I don't like it. A majority of the spouses went back home to be with family which is why participation has been so low lately. The March meeting will probably be similar to this meeting, but in April we're having a BBQ and will be working on welcome home signs. More members should be back by that time. But I feel like it's still going to be the same thing :(
Ah I love Jack Johnson, our first dance at our wedding was to one of his songs.
ReplyDeleteThat stinks the FRG meeting was so uncomfortable.
Yes it does stink being by youself.
I hope work was interesting!
