I need some gearing-up prayers, ladies. My husband has been gone for 3 months, and will be gone for 3 more (as I'm sure you are all tired of hearing me whine about). The first week in February, the kids and I will move out of our house and in with my in-laws while we attempt to get our house rented. We'll live there for 8 weeks and then move to the other side of the state the last week in March. Of all those transitions, the one that's causing me the most anxiety is living with my in-laws for those two months. They are lovely, lovely people, and are most generous to open up their home to us. We get along quite well and I probably shouldn't worry. It's just that two months is kind of a long time to live with in-laws, kwim? And it just seems like it's been so long without Andy- I miss him so much, and then just to do all this without him here beside me...
Would you offer up a prayer for me? I don't usually get this anxious about things, but lately I've been feeling plagued by anxiety and overwhelm.

Sarah, I will be praying for you in the next few months! This is so much for you to manage alone, but I know you will be able to get through it and will soon be in your new home with Andy again.

praying for you.
Personally I would recommend investing in some weather appropriate clothes (for you AND the kids) so that you could be out of doors with your kids as much as is wise. And it's so healthy for feeling blue about your situation.

Oh Sarah...I'd be struggling as well. I'm praying with a great deal of empathy.
May your very creative spirit allow you to carve out little niches of privacy and treasured moments that are special so that you can hang on to your family identity!!! I'm praying that Our Lady will assist you in every way and help you guard yourself so that charity and patience will prevail.
Did I mention how much empathy I was praying with? So much! PM anytime you want a little cheerleader in your corner...I'm your girl!!!

Oh Sarah, as with others, I am praying with empathy as well! Jennifer said it so lovely ~ I pray, as with her, that you are able to delight in your day-to-day moments, just as in your own home, and keep the sacredness of your homelife, amidst a 'less than ideal' situation. 
Putting a smile on everyday  ...!
My home is open to you...ANYTIME (we can work through the bugs with your dd1 and my four-legged boy). 
I'll put the coffee on...
