I am a total wimp! DP had to go to his parents (400 miles away) for a funeral. It was a close family member. He left on Saturday morning and I'm already wondering how the heck single parents can cope! Or parents who's partners often work away from home for a few weeks at a time.
The dishes are piling up, I just about managed a a shower this morning and last night I got myself so scared of the noises the house was making that I couldn't sleep!
And I can't even type about my trip to Tesco last night!! It was all too traumatic, but at least we did it and got home safely.
DP has never been away from us for loner than 2 nights and I miss him so much. This could be very good for us and will make me realise just how much I love him and miss him.
So... hats off to all those parents who have to do it on their own (even for a few weeks).
I used to be SO independant. I really am pathetic now, aren't I?? (oh god please don't answer that!)
