Valerie Senetha Miles has taken a creative title and turned it into a below par book. Although she provides incite into some of the extreem hardships to expect as an Army wife, her griping becomes excessive. She complains about struggles that nearly all people face regardless of their spouse's profession, such as doing dishes, avoiding weight gain, fighting traffic, and shopping within one's means. If Miles was a stronger, less materialistic individual and had written the book with a more positive outlook on life I think I would have enjoyed it.
