Surviving

I'm tired of being a "single mom". I am exhausted physically and mentally. I am so thankful this is a short-term deal. I have been grumpy the last few days and easily annoyed. Sorry Zach and mom for being mean to you last night. Guilt has been hovering over me today. I needed a change of scenery this afternoon, so we all went to the park in Brewer, near Matt's work. The kids hadn't been there since the new equipment was put in. They had a lot of fun exploring all the new things to do, and I enjoyed the fresh air. It was in the high 50's, which was perfect park weather. After a loud, busy evening of dinner, homework, baths, getting ready for bed, scripture study, and prayers, I am now enjoying our quiet, peaceful home filled with sleeping children (except Noah). I have survived another day.

Yes, be thankful it's short term!

Does Matt not get to come home at all, or is it just really late?

Hang in there! Being a single mom is tough with little ones. It does get easier as they get bigger but you just spend all your time in your car instead of home! Good luck!
