Countdown to Retirement day Feb 28,2013..

Count down to retirement day .Feb 28, 2013,,
 Yes, its coming closer , It seems like it was just months ago , when I went on Terminal - Retirement leave,, Now, in a wink of an eye I will be retired from active duty, and I know the stories about beauty and my personal daily happenings have been dramatic, funny weird , unreal.. But one things is for sure I will soon be a civilian.. My hair is long now and My face looks younger and less stress riddled. I'm getting more quality sleep , well at times I have trouble sleeping, Not because I'm worried or not, Its just I have so many plans and errands I want to do each day.. My days are filled with a lot of activities, driving kids to school and back.. Doing errands, working around the house, the chores and of course my own personal education and blogging. Its seems there isn't enough time in the day to accomplish all that I want to do.. I know I have plans of attack , but a lot of times, Other things come up.. I didn't realize real life was so complicated and crammed with so many unexpected things, As for me , broken windshields, broken garage doors .. Unexpected repairs on car , the expenses and the other items of life that seem to pope up,.. I'm not complaining , but I didn't realize or recall how time flies in civilian life.. I have been away for SO long,, it seems I'm so excited to accomplish a lot of things,, Finish school,, be a coach for my son,. and of course take care of other things like taxes, and such.. Time in civilian life is crammed with so many unexpected things like buy things for dinner, or you need to fix toilets or do gardening or repair household fixtures.. If its one thing its another.. I feel that has been the most difficult thing to adjust too, The fact you don't really know what each day may bring you, You make plans,, but it seems unexpected things happen,, expenses issues, problems.. 
   I also realize that civilian life is not as structured or disciplined like the military.. I mean time or appts are just like suggestions , I mean I had appt but it wasn't on time, but I wasn't upset , because things happens, and I'm learning to adjust in the military your on time your late, In civilian life, your on time your kinda of early, hehe. But one thing is for sure I'm enjoying my freedom and my ability to spend precious time with my kids. I know as they get ready for prom night , grad night and all the parties.. and of course graduation day. I'm enjoy every moment with my eldest son,, IT some ways I'm sad To see him grow up ,but its life they have too , pursue their dreams and ultimately raise their own family,, I know I have taught them well, even though I sounds like I'm yelling at them. But we all know kids need a push every once in awhile,, heck,, We parents need it too , every so often , Its human nature that's why we post things, or call our best friends to vent , cry or what,, But one thing is for sure, My career in the Navy is really over, Soon, I will get my retired ID card and no longer the flat top wearing mean looking guy... Instead I'm that education driven , job seeking caring parent that has a lot on his plate.. Husband, parent , coach and full time student,, and blog writer.. Wow, I will have to manage my time , between studying , coaching and blogging , but I feel I can handle it and I will. But for now, the clock is ticking and soon I will be a civilian Feb 28, 2013 mu last official day in the UNITED STATES NAVY and the last day for the pope of the roman catholic church.. This should be a easy day to remember.. huh? Oh its also my friends sara birthday.. so what a day for me.. Well time is marching and in the coming days I will continue to Thank special people in my life that helped me during my navy career.. UNTIL MY NEXT BLOG,, TAKE CARE ALWAYS!!
