5 Memes For Military Spouses This Holiday Season

December 15, 2020 by Julie

5 Memes For Military Spouses This Holiday Season

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and Season’s Greetings. We made it to the holidays, which feels a little weird. On one hand, the holidays are supposed to be magical, but it’s 2020, so…I guess we have to see how it plays out.

As much as I want things to instantly get better once the clock hits midnight on January 1st, I know, that things might not actually change all that much for us. I have hope that we won’t be dealing with another year of a pandemic, but I just don’t have any idea when our current situation will be over. Sigh. And that’s so hard to think about.

As military spouses, we know that military life doesn’t always have the best timing. There will be years when your spouse will be deployed over Christmas. There will be years when they are home. There will be years when you don’t even have a home as you are PCSing during the holidays, and there are years when you will be able to invite your family and celebrate in the way you want to.

I get commissions for purchases made through some of the links in this post.

Add in a global pandemic, and things feel even more off. Still, I hope the holidays can bring you a little bit of joy. I hope that you can smile at least some of the time. Here are 5 memes for military spouses to help:

8 Memes For Military Spouses This Holiday Season

or California, or pretty much anywhere that refuses to have a White Christmas…TN I am looking at you 😉

Sometimes we have to take a deployment day by day, or even hour by hour. Deployments aren’t easy, but remember….you got this!

I have so been that girl, many times. And it isn’t the Christmas I wanted, but it was the Christmas I got. But at least I had my books.

YES!!! Put that under the tree please 🙂

I don’t know about you, but when I am going through something difficult, knowing I am not the only one going through it helps.

Whatever you do this holiday season, I hope you are able to make memories with your family, start new traditions, and connect together, even over the miles. As you look ahead to the new year, know that you can find ways to make it through anything that comes your way.

How are you celebrating the holidays this year?

16 Memes For When You Are Struggling Through A Deployment

August 13, 2019 by Julie

16 Memes For When You Are Struggling Through A Deployment

Your spouse left a few months ago and you are not even halfway through this deployment. You told yourself before he left that you were going to rock this deployment. But here you are, struggling, trying to get through.

I have totally been there myself. I have had days where I just wasn’t sure how I was going to make it through the end of the month without completely breaking down. I would have to stop and remind myself that I could get through this deployment, that I could handle the time apart. That I could get through this challenge.

Some memes are pretty funny, they make you laugh and can help you feel like you got this. Other memes are more serious, but they hit you hard and can help you not feel as alone as you might feel during your deployment.

Here are 16 memes for when you are struggling through a deployment. Hopefully, they can help you during this part of your military spouse journey.

You don’t have to follow every single piece of deployment advice you hear. Some of the tips might not work for you and your family. That’s okay 🙂

Remember, no matter how badly you might be feeling or how hard you are struggling, there are always things you can do to get to a better place.

16 Memes When You Are Struggling Through A Deployment

Yes! Get out there and try something new. See what happens. You might find a new hobby or make a new friend.

16 Memes When You Are Struggling Through A Deployment

Those phone calls are the best 🙂

16 Memes When You Are Struggling Through A Deployment

I know it can be hard to believe sometimes, but each deployment will make you stronger. You will find ways to make it through and will find yourself at the end.

What is your best tip for surviving a deployment???

9 Military Spouse Memes for Your Military Spouse Life

January 10, 2019 by Julie 1 Comment

Whether you are a brand new military spouse, or have been one for a long time, military life can be quite the unique experience. From deployments, to pcsing across the country, you might never know what is just around the corner. Sometimes you have to have a sense of humor about everything military life brings.

9 Military Spouse Memes for Your Military Spouse Life

Here are 9 military spouse memes for your military spouse life:

Military Spouse Memes

I know for myself, when I was feeling sad during a deployment, I would try to picture homecoming and remind myself that the end of the deployment would come and he would be in my arms again.

Military Spouse Memes

What is it with Murphy’s law and deployments? Our last deployment, the AC broke and my kid stuck a rock in his ear, all within the first 24 hours. No fun!

Military Spouse Memes

Some people get PCS orders over a year in advance, some don’t and still don’t know with only a few months to go. Has that ever happened to you?

Military Spouse Memes

It’s true, if you can find good friends at your duty station, your time there will be much better.

Military Spouse Memes

100%! Military spouses want to attend events but if they don’t have anyone to watch their kids, they can’t go. When planning military spouse events, please keep this in mind so more can attend 🙂

Military Spouse Memes

Sometimes during deployments, you have to do what you can do to get through, and pizza might just become your best friend.

If you are new, you might not know what many of these words mean, but don’t worry, you will learn quickly and will become very familiar with military life lingo.

Military Spouse Memes

If you have more than one child, chances are they were all born in different places.

Military Spouse Memes

It can sometimes be hard to be okay with where you are stationed because of factors such as weather if you are not used to it, but you get through those challenges and come out stronger through it all.

Enjoy these military spouse memes and read more about military life here on the blog 🙂

10 Memes for the Military Spouse With Children

March 29, 2018 by Julie

10 Memes for the Military Spouse With Children

10 Memes for the Military Spouse With Children

Did you know that April is the month of the military child? A time to reflect on and appreciate our young military “brats” and all they have to deal with. A time to think about how they conquer the battles and disappointments that come with military life. A time to remember all the fun memories you have made with them through the years, simply because one of their parents is a service member.

Here are 10 memes for the military spouse with children. All about raising the next generation through the hurdles of military life:

Memes for the Military Spouse With Children

No matter how the deployment goes, watching your kids run into the arms of your spouse at homecoming will melt your heart!

 

Memes for the Military Spouse With Children

PCSing can be stressful for the kids too. Remember that and work through their frustrations. Let them know they can depend on you even if the rest of their world is changing around them.

 

Memes for the Military Spouse With Children

What works for one child might not work for another. Figure out what will help your child through a deployment based on what they need and what will work best for them.

 

Memes for the Military Spouse With Children

Solo parenting isn’t easy, and it can wear you down. Do what you can to take care of yourself so you can be the best mom or dad you can be for your kids when your spouse is deployed.

 

Memes for the Military Spouse With Children

Don’t be afraid to get out there and make memories together. You can then share them with the deployed parent.

 

Memes for the Military Spouse With Children

Cereal for dinner, totally okay!

 

Yep, you might not even know what country you will be in.

 

Memes for the Military Spouse With Children

Yes! So true! Mine were born in three different places, including two different countries.

 

Memes for the Military Spouse With Children

This part of military life sucks. Having to comfort a child that simply doesn’t understand why their mom or dad can’t be there.

 

Memes for the Military Spouse With Children

What else does a military spouse with children want? A free nanny of course! At least for some of the time. Oh well, we can dream, can’t we???

10 Memes For Military Spouses This Holiday Season

10 Memes For Military Spouses This Holiday Season

10 Memes For Military Spouses This Holiday Season

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and Season’s Greetings. This time of year is a time for family, for faith, for togetherness, and for love. The holidays can also be difficult if your spouse is away or if you are going through any other stressful type of situation.

Military life doesn’t always have the best timing. There will be years when your spouse will be deployed over Christmas. There will be years when they are home. There will be years when you don’t even have a home as you are PCSing during the holidays, and there are years when you will be able to invite your family and celebrate in the way you want to.

You might be able to go home for the holidays this year, as your family is only a three-hour car drive away. You might not be able to because the 2,000-mile plane tickets are out of your budget. Wherever you spend the holidays, whatever holiday you celebrate, I hope it is a good one, filled with happy memories and fun with the people you love.

Here are 10 memes for the military spouse this holiday season:

Military Spouse Memes for National Guard Spouses

August 21, 2017 by Julie

Military Spouse Memes for National Guard Spouses

National Guard life can be a whole different ball game than active duty life. You might be far away from any other military spouses, your spouse isn’t in his military uniform all of the time, and you have lived in the same place for the last 15 years.

We watch our spouse work hard during the work week at their civilian jobs and then put on the military uniform for monthly drills and yearly trainings. We watch as they go off to schools and even deploy. We feel the same pride our active duty spouse friends do at watching their spouse serve.

Military Spouse Memes for National Guard Spouses

Here are some military spouse memes just for us National Guard spouses:

National Guard Memes

Whether your spouse is National Guard or active duty, when they are gone, you will miss them.

National Guard spouses

Ya, we all know that “two weeks a year” could mean anything. Two weeks is just a starting point.

National Guard spouses

When you rely on your spouse being home for ladies nights, drill weekends can put a stop to your plans.

National Guard spouses

When your spouse is in the National Guard, it can feel like you are not quite in the military world but also not quite in the civilian one either. That can be difficult and it can take some time to get used to that feeling.

National Guard Life

Yep! If something in your house is going to break, it will be drill weekend.
I swear that appliances get together and plan this.

National Guard spouses

Hey, if they have to be away, look at the positives. The remote all to yourself. If you are like me, you have those special shows you watch once a month.

Yep! I get a lot of organizing done when he is gone. Much easier to do things that way.

National Guard spouses

You have to get prepared ahead of time for the long weekend ahead.

My husband has been in the National Guard for over three years now. During that time I have learned so much about this part of military life.

Are you a National Guard spouse too? How long has your spouse been serving?
