Week 3

I took Steve to the airport this evening. I really hate that I only got to spend basically a little over two days with him. The kids are taking it hard. I'm taking it hard. Being a single parent is really taxing. And I get to stay home with my kids all day long. I have no clue how I would do if I had to work as well. I'm thankful that I don't have to live like this forever. This will end. I have so much respect for the real single parents out there. The hardest time for me is night. I'm so scared of the night time. And I just hope that nothing bad happens. That's my greatest fear. I need my husband here to help make me feel safe. A little baby in bed with me doesn't cut it. So, here I sit, in bed, with Teage next to me, wishing it was Thursday night and Steve will be home tomorrow and not 6 days from now. I hate this. I really do. I don't care how much stronger I'm gonna be for this, I just want to feel safe and not scared and not overwhelmed by my kids.

I'm so sorry that you're a single parent right now too! We have five more weeks to go and I can't wait until Justin is done with his internship. I hate the night as well. I'm so tired, but it's hard to get to sleep. At least like you said it's just temporary. Good luck on your end!

I definitely don't know how you do it! Sometimes I can barely survive with Hyrum gone all day! I can't imagine 6 days....ahhh! But if anyone can do it you can! Good luck and I pray that this week will go by fast for you too!

You are never alone at night. Heavenly Father is always there with you, keeping you and the kids safe in his hands. I know this is difficult for you and am proud of you taking on this responsibility by yourself. We love you.
