I think it is time that I come clean about one of my favorite pass times. My name is Analee, and I am a Blog stalker. It has been 6 hours since I last stalked.
But seriously, I am captivated by other people's lives. Mostly I look at people's blogs that I sorta know, or knew. But I am sure that they would not even remember my name, or if they did they would be creeped out by the fact that I read their blog.
I read everyone's blog, and I check everyday to see if they have written anything. I don't know why. But I like to see how other people are living. And it is kinda sad because not only to I stalk these poor people, I get jealous of them. Sometimes I even roll my eyes and say nasty little comments. Mostly just when they talk about their husbands. Missing their husbands, going on vacation with their husbands, how much they love their husbands. It is dumb for me even to read these particular blogs because I know that they will inevitably talk about how great their lives are. So why read? I don't know.
I do get embarrassed when I am jealous of normal couples living normal lives. I try to say, "Oh that will be me one day," or "me and David will add that to our list." (we make a list of all the things we missed and need to make up when he gets back) I do think it is kinda pathetic that I almost get angry that we are left out of this wonderful little club of real married people.
Being a military wife is a hard, thankless job. It is up to us to hold down the fort, deal with all the life problems, the finances, the future all the stuff a couple works on together. It is an emotionally draining job. I have to keep David happy, keep our relationship alive, and deal with my own emotions. And I tackle this all on my own.
Maybe I read these other blogs to prove to myself that a normal life is out there, just waiting for us. No matter what, I am happy to read about other people's lives. It helps keep my mind focused on their lives rather than my own.
