Keeping it Real

I am kind of sad tonight. But first an update... Dean found a job, and we are really grateful because although it is not the ideal job, it will provide enough for us to stay in our home while still allowing him to stay in school. The downside is that he will be gone five nights a week till 10:30 PM. This means I will be in charge of dinner and bedtime-- two things with which he helped me greatly. I say he helped me, but really I just issued orders and he brought them to pass. I know some will say to count my blessings, I have it pretty good, some of the pioneers husbands died on the trail yada yada yada etc, etc. And don't get me wrong, I do count my blessings, but I am a selfish person and knowing all the blessings I enjoy doesn't help me miss him less.

Christine, you are a wonderful person and a great mom. You can do dinner and bedtime sans husband. You have to trick your brain into actually enjoying it! Say to yourself, "This is fun. I can do this. My kids are the best" etc., etc. I'm glad your husband is working so you can stay in your home! That's a marvelous blessing.
