Childcare called while I was on duty to say Secondborn had a fever
and needed to be picked up immediately.
Hmmm..what's a mother to do? Hubby was also working and couldn't get off.
Fortunately, I worked with compassionate Navy Chaplains and was able to pick my baby up and bring him back to work.
Yes, this was truly a definining moment in my life. My passion to retire from the Navy grew stronger and stronger, but I had two years left.
They were the longest two years of my life, but I finished my time and retired.
Although I enjoyed spending time and homeschooling
my growing boys, I experienced difficult days and valley moments as
I struggled to adjust to retirement.
The REALITY of motherhood surfaced.
