We have no idea where we will be or if we will get job offers and if we do, where we will be. Tyler isn't gone as much as Chris, thank goodness, but I do sympathize with the lack of "home." I'm sorry April. It's awful when so much of your life is out of control, and spending so much time alone with kids is so hard. <br /><br />Have you found a church group there that you like?

It was really hard to be a single parent - especially pregnant - and mothers are nesters so it's hard to make a home; knowing you will leaving... That's a lot of stress. It sucks. AND it will get better. <br /><br />Reach out to your friends, hire a babysitter and get out to the movies... Be social. Distractions are the best medicine for depression -- unless of course you need medicine; which is also OK. I've done both.<br /><br />I'll be thinking of you! Hang in there and drive safe!Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11053458843007516636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5074004965034055867.post-3161348658226041902016-12-20T21:26:07.921-07:002016-12-20T21:26:07.921-07:00Ugh, I'm so sorry April.

I know for me Christmas music is often the key, and baking or putting together little gifts for friends and neighbor's. And I loooove Christmas morning with little kids, seeing their little faces light up with excitement when they see their presents, it's so fun! I hope you find something to help you feel Christmassy!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11015713105597907545noreply@blogger.com
