an adjustment and some fear

Today, Stephen left for James Bay to work. He will be gone for two weeks this time and hopefully home in time for Christmas. His regular schedule will be away for three weeks and home for one, looks like I am about to get a crash course in single motherhood! I have to admit, I am afraid. Everything to do with running the house and rearing the kids rests on my little shoulders, and I have moments where I'd like to curl up into a ball and suck my thumb! LOL Once I can figure out the logistics of work schedules and babysitters, the rest should (SHOULD) be a breeze... Praying that God gives me extra patience, peace, guidance, and good refreshing rest. Did I mention patience? I think that the kids will have a hard time adjusting to daddy not being around and I don't want to throw too much at them, but seriously, the time has come to buckle down, get these two out of diapers for good and get them eating healthier. I'm going to need a lot of prayer, and a job that pays well with better hours would be nice too!
