I raised our son and would get lonely but I did learn to occupy myself productively. Of course it does help that I have loner tendencies anyway. Now, because projects are so few, I wish he'd go to work for only a few hours, not just for financial reasons but because I would like to be alone for awhile! LOL. Its always two extremes. Too little or too much is never a good thing. But it never lasts, every minute your life is changing and you just hope it's for the best and it usually will be.Kellie from Indianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14336038070977514482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-48445221383965726152013-12-15T19:03:57.793-06:002013-12-15T19:03:57.793-06:00Not always easy to do what you gotta do!

She tries to come home on weekends but doesn't always make it. When she has holidays and summer vacation, she spends them with the kids up North. So I know how it feels to be alone a lot of the time. As you say though, it's for a good reason. Your husband will earn money to support your homestead, and my wife makes it possible for us to do a lot more for our kids than we could do otherwise. It's hard sometimes, but it's just something that you know won't last forever.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.com
