Things I've realized since Brian has been gone

So this is week #6 of 16. Not only is Brian gone but it's baseball season for both Carissa and Tristan and I've also added a new job to the mix. Here's what I've realized in the last 6 weeks:

  • It is harder than I thought it would be.
  • 15 minutes of uninterrupted time is heavenly.
  • Maybe I shouldn't volunteer so much.
  • I can watch girly movies and "The Bachelor" without grumbling.
  • Staying up until 1am is not good when you have to work the next morning.
  • I should cook a decent dinner for myself sometimes.
  • Mowing the back yard sucks.
  • TGIF has never been so true.
  • Homework can take hours.
  • Even a sanity device (i.e. MP3) doesn't always bring much sanity.
  • A king size bed is too big for only one person.
  • I miss Brian more than I thought I would.
  • When you're the only adult, you have to kill all the bees and big fat spiders around. *shudder*
  • Doing it all on your own is exhausting.
  • I will survive.

You WILL survive! I'm so dependent on DH for some things that I just can't imagine going it alone. Hang in there, you're almost halfway through!

You'll make it - just take it one day at a time. Me...I'm ALL for having the bed to myself. I have a hard time falling asleep when Scott is gone, but I sleep much better, since he snores like a buzzsaw!

Being a temporary single parent sucks. Been there, done that, and will do it again, I'm sure, thanks to the military!

Yes, 15 minutes of uninterupted time is heaven!
