1 week of 6 over with. Jason is at a training on the east coast til July. I'm hanging on by a thread. There hasn't been sunshine around here for weeks. Rain, Rain, GO AWAY! finally yesterday i decided we were just going out in the wetness. We went for a walk along the river (which is almost overflowing because we've had so much moisture) and played in the back yard.
that paragraph sounded a bit negative......the reality is, we're doing quite well. being a single mom is never fun. but i've actually been surprised by how much patience i've had. (i don't EVER have enough patience.....i would say it's my greatest weakness- easily!) but with much help from above, i'm surviving. It's also been nice to do lots of video chats with my love. The boys get a kick out of watching themselves on the computer. And having family scriptures and prayers together every night helps keep things somewhat normal--especially cause jason can reprimand when they aren't being reverent, so i'm not always the bad guy! i'm very grateful jason's schedule allows for time like that.
and really, i've always got at least 3 rays of sunshine around me:
