Being a military wife means learning how to use tools...

Being a military wife means learning how to do the things your husband always did and you didn't even have to think about - like using tools :(


First... I had to open the box and cut all the little pieces off the cardboard (*Note - remind relatives not to give Brooklyn toys for Christmas unless THEY plan to put the toys together!!)

Then... I have to find all the tools I need. Like a screwdriver. Of course my husband has to have fancy gadgety screwdrivers that involve assembly.

Then... Blood--Sweat---Tears---Bad Words---Obstacles---Confusion---More Sweat---More Tears---

Then...

I felt like Santa!

The next day

She took off running! I guess all the hard work was worth it!
