Not the kind of letdown you're thinking of, you know the type: you're so excited about reading a book and it completely disappoints you in the end. No, that's not what I mean.
I'm talking about the kind of letdown that can only come from a really well written book or series. And its so well written you're on a kind of depression and funk when you're done with it. It feels like an old friend left and there will be no new adventures with them.
Maybe I'm being a little overdramatic, but that's really how I feel about a book or series that I'm very attached to. Those are the books that feel like family, like home. But I am one of those people that loves their books.

It's A Sign
Every once in awhile I give up. Well, not really, more like I feel like I don't have what it takes to be a published writer. It's the joys of trying to accomplish something, anything. It's those bad moments that hit me every once in awhile.
I had one of those moments today and I wanted a sign, something to keep me going. I was talking to my daughter and the subject of the future came up. I'm not really sure how, but sometimes she'll say the things I really need to hear. It's nothing to her, but it completely blows my mind away.
I was wondering out loud what I should do after I get out of the military.
Out of the blue, she says, "I know what you're going to be, mommy. A book writer."
Out of the mouths of babes. Such innocent and wide-eyed little people with so much hope, I love it!

The Very Merry Month of June
June's always been the best month for me. It's officially the start of summer and longer, breeze filled days. It's also the birth month of my offspring.
Something about the month makes life great. I think the biggest factor is my bub's birthday. Yes, I have to wait until the end of the month, but I'm big on celebrating all month long. Because, well, birthdays are important whether you're turning 8 or 29(even when you don't think you need to celebrate anymore). And everyone in my family has a summer birthday, so summer is pretty celebration filled.

I really love June, mostly because of the Popsicles. I LOVE Popsicles. They're the best treat on a scorching summer day that was spent hanging out at the pool keeping cool. And they're sooo much better for you than ice cream. Not to mention a ton cheaper.
