Grateful

I won't lie. The last couple of weeks have been rough. I've felt like I've hardly seen Josh and when I do his mind is somewhere else (school). Then I got thinking about how grateful I am to not be a single parent. I don't know how people do it. I depend on him so much emotionally and he just makes life more enjoyable, parenting easier, and I even get a break every now and then. Or...If he was in the service and was gone for a year or more at a time. I think I would die. But, I am so grateful for those who do make those sacrifices and that is a lot more sacrifice than I have to give. Oh, I am so thankful. I am weak sauce apparently because I can hardly get through a week. I try to not complain because I know it is probably harder for him than it is for me. Everyday I have to remind myself, "Okay, just another year and 1/2," or "Maybe next semester it will be easier," or "It will be worth it in the end." And it really doesn't help when the weather is so crappy either. I really wish I could hibernate; just stay in my bed all winter long and read books. So, all you single parents or wives of service men, please forgive me for complaining and God bless you!
