Over the last 10 days that Donnie has been at the hospital, I have:
-Put more miles on my car, driving back and forth to the hospital, than I thought possible.
-Not eaten a single healthy meal. Only meals I can eat while walking/driving/cleaning/driving/talking/driving.
-Watched way too much late night TV.
-Drank way too much coffee.
-Taught myself how to start the air compressor and fill ALL four of my tires. Something that I have never done, because before I had a husband, I had a father.
-Changed numerous lightbulbs.
-Killed a LIVE roach (with the help of my sister)
-Learned the importance of true family, because they are the ones getting me through right now.
-Missed my kids way too much.
-Missed my husband way too much.
-Developed this weird 24/7 eye twitch.
-Slept less than when I had a newborn.
-Let my house turn into a episode of Hoarders ;)
-Finally decorated for Halloween, I couldn't let Brody be the only kid in his class without a decorated house!

I have learned that some days you just have to put your big girl panties on and do stuff you don't feel like doing. I have very bad days where I think I won't to able to do it all, but today I feel strong and capable and proud of myself for just making it through the day. But as capable as I feel, I do miss having my husband around to do all the crappy stuff I don't like doing ;)
Today was probably a good day for me to read this. I've been crying all afternoon because my kids are being AWFUL and my husband is never home and bla bla bla. It's just been a crappy day, haha. And then I read your blog and was like, "Yeah Darci, suck it up. Life's not so bad". Yes, I said it out loud to myself. LOL. You're awesome to get through what you do. Hope everything is going okay:)
