Need a break and feeling guilty

I am a stay at home mom, and I chose to be a stay at home mom. I could go to work full time but the costs of daycare doesnt make it worth it. I love my daughter, I love her more than anything on this planet but I need a break. I feel so guilty about writing this but its true. I need some time alone. Im not asking for alot just maybe a day, two max and I think I will feel better. Every mom needs a break right? Why do I feel guilty about this?! We have never been apart more then eight hours in the three years she has been in my life. I hope I feel better soon, Im told I shouldnt feel guilty but I do.

Happy Veterans Day

Today is the day that we honor all the brave men and women who served in the US Military. I can proudly say that I served in the US Navy for six years. My husband is going on ten years serving in the Navy and is ready to put in another ten plus years. The military has been good to us. I would not trade this for the world. Yes, times can be rough but at the end of the day I have the most important thing in the world, the love of my husband and daughter.

Sometimes I wish we had more then one day to honor those who served. Yes, I am a vet but I think there are many more who gave alot more then me. I never saw combat, I never went to a war zone. My job was making sure my fellow service members were ready medically speaking to go into combat. I think there needs to be more done for them. 

I am so happy to see people showing their appreciation for our servicemembers today and I just pray that their appreciation, thoughts and prayers continue beyond today. Thank you to those who support our troops and pray for them every day.   We still have many brave men and women overseas protecting our country and need our prayers and support. Thank you to all my fellow veterans and thank you to those who are still putting their lives on the lines to protect this great country.
