Could you gals say a little prayer for me please? I've been really down the past two days after finding out that hubby's leaving again on Monday for 4 days (8 hrs away) and on the 19th for 9-10 days in England. I'm really finding it hard to keep my anger and resentment in check.
Honestly, I don't know what I would like you to pray for -- I'm just tired and sad and angry. I don't deal well at all with hubby's traveling sched -- which is really bad about 3-4 months out of the year. It's a major thorn in our otherwise almost-perfect rose of a marriage. Can't say anymore I'm just

OH Stef, I am praying for you. I wouldn't deal well with a situation like that at all.

Many hugs, too...

You know I'm with you, Stef. It is so hard to be apart.
Here's a few bad jokes just for my foodie friend:
Did you hear about the farmer arrested for selling rotten fruit? He was judged by his pears.
Why did the cucumber need a lawyer? It was in a pickle.
Why do nuns like Swiss cheese the best? Because it's hole-y.
Why didn't the prawn share his dessert? He was shellfish.
(have you yelled uncle yet?)
What did the mama melon say to her daughter when the girl wanted to run away and marry her boyfriend? You canteloupe.
If you eat three-quaters of a pie, what do you have? An angry mama!
I'm praying, stef...please go easy on yourself.
Love,

Stef, prayers and hugs for you. Maybe you should make some brownies and send some to me? Wouldn't that act of kindness just make you feel oh so better?  
I've been really down this week...and don't forget some of your blues can totally be related to this weather! We haven't had a deep freeze like this in a while!

Would you believe me if I told you that your post made me cry? I totally understand what you're feeling. You've got my prayers.

Stef, I'm definitely praying for you. I understand the struggle of trying to be understanding of dh's work commitments.

Oh, Stef
There is nothing quite like a Dh's prolonged absence to send me reeling into a semi-depressive state. Prayers and hugs from me.

Stef,
I understand. I am in the same boat. It's not easy to be a single mom for a good portion of the year. I'll keep you in my prayers. Hugs to you.
