I don'...How do I stay happy and loving all day? I don't! It's not possible. Not ALL day. But most of the day. :) Right now, I don't feel badly when I don't finish things I should have gotten done, I don't feel badly if I just have to go home after sacrament (which happens far more often than it should). I try to appreciate the small things (the beautiful sunset, the baby smiles, the clean kitchen counter). I make an effort to get outside at least once a day...that's a big one for me. At least, for me, I can remind myself daily that in *only* 10 more months...my husband will be back! That's helpful. Before he left, I thought I would die. But now that it's been 4 months...I've realized I'm a much stronger person and mother than I thought I was. People tell me all the time "you are so strong! I could never do that." I'm really not. I'm the huddle in the corner and sob kinda girl. I'm the cry 7 times during a Disney move kinda girl. But tough times bring out strengths I never thought I had. I AM strong. And you are too!!! :)Ian and Bonnie Gutzmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00044043844085757342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214888787184795220.post-34850105270012938642011-06-11T17:18:12.081-07:002011-06-11T17:18:12.081-07:00Thank you! :) It is some hard work I tell ya.

Because I have to share my time with him and have to go whole weekends and sometimes whole weeks without seeing him, I try to remember that when he's with me and being impossible. I say to myself, "Remember how much you missed him while he was gone?" It helps me appreciate my time with him. Although I remember what it was like when Dallin was in Texas for 3 months last summer. It is hard but remember that you get to spend every day with him. You will never miss special moments in his life. THat is a blessing.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10859781099442962854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214888787184795220.post-2330698055955656012011-06-10T09:36:10.916-07:002011-06-10T09:36:10.916-07:00i always think the same thing. wait until adam is ...i always think the same thing. wait until adam is gone from 9-5 or 6 or 7 and then has church meetings after! not the same as a single mother but it can definitely feel like it!Amber Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151936675478144797noreply@blogger.com
