Read at your own risk because I did warn you! You don't have to read it...remember that.
Last night my husband started the job doing the shut down at the paper mill plant. That is a good thing. The bad part is they paid for a motel for all of the guys that are doing it so they have to stay there. They failed to mention that before, that was sprung on my family late last night. =( I will deal with it, I can get through it but it is really hard. He will be there for a few weeks, it was a rough night last night with lots of tears shed by me and my children...
So, today I am not feeling the greatest due to not enough sleep. I cried half the night, then my kids who are not feeling good woke me up at 6am because their throats were sore. I am going to try to get through this day, one minute at a time. Lord give me strength!
My rant is over now...

@Castlerock34 It is hard, especially being pregnant with 3 kids and not having any notice this was happening. But on the other hand I am super grateful that he is working and making money for us again. It is a hard thing, feeling sad and happy at the same time.

@LovingMyBabies I know how you feel for the most part. The time of year is so hard in general, me being a single mom is hard. I only have one income and thats it.

@LovingMyBabies I can understand you missing your hubby and of course with the children being sick it is rough. Hope he can get home soon and hope your children are feeling better soon.

Awww bless I know how you feel, my partner used to be in the Marines and it was horrible not seeing him. Luckily he never did a tour so the longest was 8 weeks but it is horrible. Then he did 5 days away training for 8 weeks when he started his new job and that was horrible, and my little man missed him loads. I hope it goes quickly for you just take it one day at a time x

@shellyjaneo Thanks, it is really hard. I never thought I would have to go through this because I purposely stayed away from military men when I was dating. I knew I could not handle the military life. And yet somehow, I still got stuck with my husband leaving out of town at times. =(
I really hope it goes fast as well-thank you.

I remember the first time my first husband had "duty" and had to stay on the ship over night. It is sad, and lonely. Surely he will get to come home now and then?

@GardenGerty It is really hard, especially when 31 weeks pregnant with 3 children. Having his help at times right now would be nice so I am also worried too. I am hoping he will be able to come home now and then but I really don't know at this point. The company is awful with their communication skills!

I'm sorry to hear that you're going through this. It doesn't seem right that they didn't tell them he'd have to stay at a motel or something. They should have told him before hand what was expected. It's not right. It's not easy, but you'll get through it. I've been there.

@dodo19 Thank you. Yeah I don't like how it was done. It was very last minute and that is what was so upsetting I think. It was a shock for our family.

@LovingMyBabies I must admit I would not like it if my hubby had to work away while I was expecting. Just think of the money. Maybe he will have days off and can come home for a while.

@suzzy3 Yeah it annoyed me that they told everyone so last minute. I have been praying a lot for God to give me the strength I need.

I don't blame you for feeling lonely, you must be a very strong lady to be looking after those little ones single handed for the next little while. When you get angry, remember the outcome and then try to get along with working thru it. Here's a virtual (((HUG)))

@LovingMyBabies I think that you have to be stronger then you give yourself credit for. Make good use of his time away, try to make a little journal with your children to read with him when he comes back home again, they can colour him pictures.

@jaboUK Yeah the way they did it was what bothered me the most. There should have been some kind of warning. I am grateful he has a job though.

It was inconsiderate of the company not to let him know the length of the stay. I hope you and the children are faring better now that you have had a few days to adjust. It is difficult for small children to adjust with the father having had time to explain and assure that all will be fine. So you must be strong in order to aid the children to get through his absence. You will be fine.

What a bummer! But, it could be SO much worse. He is working now and ,remember, absence makes the heart grow fonder. He'll be home for Christmas and it may even be more joyous because of his absence. Don't let it get you down.

@jstory07 Yeah there should have been a warning about it. No he had no clothes or anything with him so he had to wear the same thing twice until his friend brought clothes to him this morning.
