Long time no talk!

It has been the longest month of my life. I honestly didn't realize that I hadn't been on here for a month. My husband was arrested for possession of child pornography on 2/28 and I have been on the go ever since. Getting up at 6am and hoping to be in bed by 10pm but not getting to bed til midnight. Between dealing with packing my house up that we just bought, counseling for the kids and me, to housing, etc.... I am one wore out mama! I have let my emotions control my eating habits a couple of times. Between not caring about my protein, my water intake to snacking til I'm sick to my stomach. I've been through so much in my life (as I've shared before) and I can't even say this tops the cake... it's just hard because I feel that I'm going to have a fight on my hands to keep my younger 3 kids. I've raised them for 3 years by myself physically. My husband was only there financially but since they aren't biologically mine, I know his family is going to cause me grief. Grief that I don't need. The stress has caused my foot drop to be worse and I've had to use my foot braces this week. So to say that I have been stressed would be an understatement. Stress eating is a real thing! Sooo.... I took the kids to get family pictures made. Tried to have a day outside of the house. Left all our cares and worries at the house, enjoyed each others company and undivided attention. I hope everyone is doing well!!
