Truth is... I'm not doing so hot at this single parenting thing. I feel like I need a mommy do-over nearly every day.
Truth is... I miss Allen like crazy. Not from a parenting standpoint but from a "my heart hurts because half of me is missing" standpoint.
Truth is... I refuse to think about leaving my friends. It's probably an unhealthy way of dealing with my emotions but I truly don't know if I can handle them.
Truth is... healthy meals are pretty non-existent around here these days. It's not very motivating cooking only for my kids. Is pizza a food group?
Truth is... I've been at a weight loss plateau for 3 weeks. Aaargh. So frustrating since I feel like I'm eating NOTHING. I'm sure it has a lot to do with the fact that I'm not getting my water in. But I really hate peeing 50 times a day.
Truth is... I wasn't planning on this being such a depressing post. Sorry.

I have felt all of these feelings...I know what you are going through! The eating healthy thing...is practically impossible when it's just your kiddos. I wish I could suggest more.
Also...I know what it feels like to not have your other half with you. I'm sorry you ache. It will go by quickly...I'm praying for you!!!
You have a lot on your plate...only not literally...and I know things are going to look a whole lot brighter soon! Circumstances can tailspin us into a slump - but I know you'll be out of yours soon because truth is you are way more awesome then you give yourself credit for!
I love truth posts. Hang in there, my friend. I so so so wish I was closer to ease your burdens. So instead I'll say some prayers that your burdens will be lightened. Hugs!
I'm with Meghan and Melissa on this one. We're sending some prayers your way from AZ that these next couple of months go by as quickly as possible.
Love you.
Isn't it funny how much your motivation to cook disappears when your husband isn't around? I never realize how much I have him in mind with dinner until he's not around.
I'm sure it's so hard doing everything on your own. But I'm just as sure you're doing an amazing job, even with a few do overs. It's not about never blowing it; it's about making it better when you do.
And I'm sad for you about moving away from friends. I've been really missing my Utah friends lately, and it's so hard!
I though this was hilarious and makes us all feel good to hear that you are normal... You are a wonderwomen and amazing at so many things.. Hang tough sista and I can't wait to see you in just one week!!:)
Not much to say except I'm sorry. I know exactly where you're coming from, literally. You asked the other day about your friend. Imagine how you are feeling, but imagine it being permanent. I'm sure it sucks to leave friends again. Maybe this is the last time? Love you.
Darn it. Sounds like you are getting over-whelmed, but how could you not? You have so much on your plate right now, especially with Al gone so much. Hoping you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm excited to see your new place, and to hear all the details of the new adventure. Hang in there!
Hang in there Monique...thinking of you... :)
I LOVE your truths! That's what we need to hear. I am going to demand keeping your kids one day next week so that you can have a break. Don't say no, we are just going to do it!
I hope that all of our upward requests are being felt and that you'll know that many are cheering you on. I've been there and done that and know that having this hard time end will be the best cure for the separation blues. Keep on!
Mom
