Haha, Flyaway... I was just about to mention clicklist! Neighbor ;)
I can't wait to see where those skymiles take you... a spa maybe?!

@Jennszoo - I am so sorry that your husband has to stay another week - that stinks! I know it will be tough the next week, and I think if we could collectively pack up help and send it to you, we would!
There is nothing wrong with a good cry in the shower. That's where I had my last melt down. For me, it helps to get it out in private so I don't crack around others.

Hang in there Jenn. You are doing so much more than any average person could ever do! Come here and vent. There are many, many shoulders here for you to lean and cry on. We all are on your side and care so very much. You have loads of people praying for you!

Thanks for the virtual support. Took th kids to the skating rink and then set up this crazy water slide in the front yard that I got off amazon. Still struggling w exhaustion after any type of activity. But had minimal ice/elevation time today and the knee isn't too worse for the wear. Kids had lots of fights and one huge autistic meltdown and when I couldn't get the DVD player to work for our evening movie, I sent a series of increasingly angry texts to the southern hemisphere. (My own meltdown). But they're in bed and I'm one day closer to getting my partner back.

There's nothing quite like the peace after the kids are in bed. You made it through another day... and a tough one at that. Hope you have a restful night!

Not one more day. Ugh. He was supposed to come home sat but his trip was extended a week. Now he's due home next Friday. I can't think on it too long or I'll break down. He's been gone 6 days and I'm struggling and now I have 8 more days. Lawd. I can't even. There's just so much. It took all day to get the dishwasher emptied and I just kept looking at the dishes piling up in the sink and I can't muster the energy.

You have accomplished so much with your husband away. If things don't get done, let it go and try to focus on something fun for you and the kids. You are only one person doing the work of usually two. (((hugs))) to you.
Can you deputise one of your children to take care of the dishes and dishwasher, Jenn? They are old enough.
My 7-year-old granddaughter has to empty the dishwasher every morning before school - to earn her pocket money.

I agree. Get your children to help you. You need them to! You are not their slave, you are all part of the same family! Please get their help. I'm praying for you!
Goodness. I can't even imagine doing everything you are while you are recovering. Do you have a neighbor or friend who can come over and help with the kids or the house? I continue to send you positive thoughts.
