Mommy on her own

So it's been 3 days since Bob left. Being on your own with four kids is an interesting thing. You either just try to survive or you go into overdrive trying to be really organized and creative and stuff. So I think I'm in overdrive right now and it's working for me. I haven't gone off the deep end eating everything in sight. My kids aren't watching 10 hours of tv a day and we're having fun. I think it's really helped that I've been encouraged recently to get back into daily devotions and prayer and I've been doing that. I'm really trying to keep my attitude in check with the kids. We'll see if I feel the same after a few weeks.
Some of my daily challenges: Josiah is constipated and won't eat, I just don't feel like cooking, and boredom at night. One nice thing with Bob gone, less laundry!

Yay! I'm so glad that you have a blog Susie! 5 weeks by yourself with 4 kids. You'll be in my prayers!

The only reason I haven't started a blog yet is that I fear that it would seriously cut into my scrapbooking time. ;) But, one of my hobbies is reading other people's blogs! It's a great way to stay in touch.
