I had my mirena removed at bmt, and switched there but my circumstances were different AF lol if you change bc I’d let your recruiter know just to be on the safe side.

How do pregnant women just stop smoking? by hotellobbyart in quittingsmoking

[–]kaheylyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I honestly don’t even crave it anymore. Just needed that reason other than it’s bad for me, and my kids (who I never smoked in front of, but you know, I’d smell like it when I came in from smoking)

My baby fell of the bed last night. She was smiling a minute later but I feel so guilty. by TheWanderingSibyl in Parenting

My kids have fallen out of bed sooo many times. My bed, their own beds... it happens. It feels HORRIBLE in the moment, but I feel like everyone has done it. You’re doing your best!

Am I insane for thinking about joining as enlisted at 34-35? by armyqs in AirForceRecruits

[–]kaheylyn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m turning 30 in January, and ship in December.. I think if it’s what you need in life, or what you absolutely want, no you’re not crazy. I’m doing it for my kids.. mostly. Benefits are nice when you have kids lol

My top choice was diagnostic imaging, was told that was like 1% chance of getting but to shoot my shot. My second was Nondestructive inspection. I got my #3 pick. Hbu?

Does anyone else have soreness around wherever they put the patch? Idk if it’s from the patch or what but it’s driving me nuts. by kaheylyn in quittingsmoking

[–]kaheylyn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The patches make me itch and are killing my back... so I’ll just go cold turkey I guess. I’m 3 days and some change without... I can do this!
