Going It Alone

It’s been a rough week. Quite frankly, one of the worst since LJ was a teeny newborn.

We’ve had endless tears (from both of us), screaming fits, time-out multiple times a day, and the impossible battle of trying to cut down on binkie time.

But that could be any week really.

It’s that Daddy has been missing……all week.

Work has been nutso. Last week and the beginning of this week he left well before LJ was up and came home loooooong after we were both in bed. Since Wednesday he’s been on a pre-planned trip with his dad and will get home late tonight.

I’m FRIED

DEAD

BACK THROWN OUT

PATIENCE GONE

DONE

As absolutely sucky as this has been, it’s given me a new appreciation.

Teen moms. OMG if I thought this was hard, I think I have no idea. I’ve loved the “Teen Mom” girls since they started on “16 and Pregnant”. I admire how strong most of them are. How much they have to deal with, and how many of them are going it alone or semi-alone.
I wonder, would I be strong enough?
This week has basically been a nightmare. But I have a roof over my head. I know my next meal is coming. I know that my husband is working hard to provide and take care of us.
I know I’m blessed to have the opportunity to stay home and have this nightmare week….even if it doesn’t feel like it.
