I’m Every Woman….

Amanda on May 28th, 2008

He’s home! I feel exhausted, yet sorta like I made it to the top of Mt. Everest successfully! I did it!! Alone for a week and everyone is alive. I’m not going to lie, it wasn’t all snuggles and hugs. There were a few tantrums, spanks, and time-outs (and that was just me)…by Sunday I would have given my kids away for free! But Jeff came home, took Tuesday off of work and I am a NEW WOMAN! Bring it on sisters!

I’m glad I don’t have to do it again for a few more weeks.

Hi Amanda-

I just came across your blog…my husband actually sent it to me thinking I would enjoy it. He’s a youth pastor (well, student pastor). He does college ministry as well. I just wanted to concur that feeling like a “single mom” when our husbands are gone isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, but makes us all the more grateful for our wonderful husbands. And my husband is so blessed to hear that we are not just “surviving” while he’s gone but actually “thriving”. That doesn’t happen all the time, but sometimes it does. Enjoy your time with your hubby!

My whole summer looks like it will be two weeks here, two weeks home, etc. I grew up as a pastor’s daughter and most pk’s (pastor’s kids) move a ton, but we stayed in Iowa for 16 years and before that I was too young to remember being anywhere else. My dad is also blind, so we didn’t make a lot of changes around the house even (that helped my dad’s memory to guide him around the house without running into things). My husband seems to love going here and there and rearranging everything in sight (our house, the youth room, the garage, etc.)! I try to go along with the new inconsistencies in my life, but everything just seems to be a blur. When he’s not there it seems I can’t sleep well, and when he is here I’m getting thrown into the volunteer committees just so that I can see him or know what is going on in his life. Can I get a hollaback?!
