I know everyone knows whats going on with the whole "Government Shutdown" thing right? Yeah, because it isn't plastered all over the news and internet enough. Well, just in case I never mentioned it because I don't think I did, we are a military family, and also my dad works for the government himself.
The only thing that really affected us, and not by much, was the commissary closing for a few days to a week. I only go there mostly for a few pick up items or if I know it has a better price on an item or more coupons to use than other stores I go to.
Other than that I am trying to get readjusted to ANOTHER schedule change of my husband's. He has finished another 3 months of school since he is on the school option, which if it works right 3 months on 3 months off. He is back at work now working days where as when we first met back in 2011 he started working nights. On top of that he is also an NCO and does get extra duties to do at the last minute, say, like the other day, Staff Duty 6:30 am on one day to 6:30 am to the next. Yup, you read that right. Then, he'll come home and sleep.
This causes a readjustment for our daughter as well with trying to understand where he goes ALL day instead of half a day and so on. It also causes issues with trying to get a job outside the home. We are also planning and rearranging a new budget for our family so maybe in between paydays it won't be so tough.
This is the life we chose, and while its difficult, it wonderful too. A typical life of roller-coasters of good and bad, awesome and awful.
