Ok.  Not exactly true.  I am exagerating a big.  But only sort of... 

Don't worry.  I am a VERY happily married person.  I have been married to my wonderful husband for almost 9 years, in April!  (Wow!)  And we have two beautiful children.  And none of that is changing.  馃檪

My husband just got a new job.  We are very greatful for this new job and it will be a big blessing in our lives.  But not only is it a new job, it is a new career field all together!  So his last day of work at his old job was a week ago, and this morning I put him on an airplane to fly across the country for training for his new career.  He will be gone from us for 5 months!  (Did I meantion I have a 3.5 year old very "active" girl and a 2.5 week old little boy!)

So while I am not a single-mom, I am sure I will feel like one for much of the next several months.  I am not sure if I will have more time to blog, or less time.  But I DO know I lost my taste tester!!  Oh no!  Who is going to eat all the yummy treats I like to make? 

I am thinking I will have a lot of very happy friends and neighbors who will be receiving random goodies!!

Happy Saturday and join me again tomorrow for more great St. Patrick's ideas!

    i know you can do it! my hubby was gone 3 weeks out of every month last year. it was hard, but once you find your &#39;rythum&#39; things get better. <br />be sure to reach out to neighbors/friends/family so you can have some ALONE time. even if it is just for hair cut. that is what kept me sane.<br />congrats to your hubby too! it is great to hear that there are companies hiring out there again!

    Oh, I will certainly be thinking of you. Found you through new friend friday...you will be fine! My hubbie travels a lot for work and I have a 3.5 year old and a 7 month old--I agree with what was already said...get your rhythm and it&#39;ll become the new norm. Not to make light; there will be hard times, but it&#39;ll work out! -shaunna 馃檪

    I just found you from NFF. We just recently went through a similar thing. Hubby got transferred to NY and left last Sept while I stayed back in MN trying to sell the house and taking care of 3 kiddos. Lucky for us the house sold rather quickly and we joined him in NY right after Christmas. It was hard but I&#39;m am sure you will do just fine. Keep your chin up. Plus look into Skype. We
