This week I say is not a good one for me. My husband left us last Friday for work for at least three months. My eldest son has high fever since last night and I need to join the mangrove planting this morning to help save mother earth which our boss required us, else, salary deduction for one day. The nanny of my one year old son went home for family emergency yesterday leaving me with no choice but to deposit my son to my in - laws in the province yesterday also. I have mixed emotions today, emptiness for my husband, loneliness for my one year old son, disappointment for my sons nanny,worried for my eldest son's health, resentment for all the household chores that await me after the mangrove planting, and somehow happy for at least I helped save the sea creatures. I am fully stuffed that I ended up facing the net after I tended to my sons medicines and other needs. When would this end? It seems like I was in a battle and I feel like quitting. It's like a whirlwind happening too fast! How could I manage these without having this feeling of defeat? I'm overly stressed and burned out, huh.

I'm so sorry to know all about these, i know you've been through a lot of things these days just by the way you mentioned everything on this post. I can feel your frustrations and disappointments right at this moment, most of all the loneliness knowing that your husband just left few days ago. I so know those feelings because i've been through those kind of things too before when my husband's not around and I wind up staying back with my parents for the meantime until he's back, since we don't have any child yet then it's mostly what happened because I am not used of staying by myself alone in our house. By reading your discussions making me feel like remembering my past, but just hold on and continue to be strong for your children's sake, also for yourself because it's just you now since your husband's not around that stands as their foundation, so you just need to deal this things with God's guidance and help to make you through it. Include prayers for your daily chores, for your family, husband and everything...prayers do move mountains, just have faith and trust God, He is our help in all we do! Hope this helps you, God bless u in all you do!
