Put Your Big Girl Panties on and Deal With It

This has always been one of my favorite sayings...not just to say to others...but to encourage myself. There are times in life that the situations that you find yourself in totally sucks and the only way to make it through those situations is faith and a whole lot of humor..or tears. Since I do not enjoy crying and it usually leaves you feeling heavy and drained, I most often opt for laughing instead of crying. It is those situations that I encourage myself by saying...Put your big girl panties on and deal with it. So, I have decided to give out the Big Girl Pantie Award (if there is enough interest that is) This is how it will work...nominations will be taken via comment on this post. A vote will then be conducted to determine who the winner of the Big Girl Panty Award. The winner of this award will receive the above magnet and a coffee cup. If there is interest and we can keep this going I will conduct nominations and votes monthly. Nominations can be made of Navy Wives near and far who you think deserve the Big Girl Pantie Award...it could be someone who is really struggling and may need some love from her sisters, or someone who has made it through a tough situation by relying on humor and a good nature. So ladies...invite your friends to follow this contest and leave your nominations for someone (even yourself) who deserves the Big Girl Pantie Award! ***Once you leave a comment I will have to approve it for publishing. So if it doesn't show up immediately, give it some time and check back later!

  1. Please include a brief summary of why you feel this person (or yourself) deserves the Big Girl Pantie Award. And remember to invite all those Navy wives you know to participate!

  2. I want to nominate two people, neither of which ate navy wives, but navy daughters. They grew up faster than any child should have to, always adapted to what ever was thrown their way. they understood that they respresented their father, his position, his boat, and our country. they spent birthday nights silently crying themselves to sleep, and dealt homecomings that resulted in being patient with their father who would not know what to do with the young woman they have become. Currently, one is adapting to life on her own since the navy shipped her family far away, while the other is adapting to being far away from everything she has known. their names are Brittany and Rebecca marini
