The truckers wife of four years now . It is very hard at times. We have a 21 year old girl and a 9 year old girl and a 7 year old son who has disabilities.

My husband is gone for a month at a time. So on top of the 2 small kids our 21 year old moved home with our 3 grand kids 3 years old and a 1 year old and she just had our 3rd . On the 27 th of June.

With my husband gone all the time everything from mowing the grass to hiring someone to fix stuff around the house and are cars. Is all on my shoulders. As most women that has a husband that is a truck driver . I have learned that with this life to have a good marriage you have to trust each other and communication is very important.

And even though I know I can talk to my husband about anything there is times I wish I had a friend that knows what it is like in my shoes. Just to have someone to talk to.

I wish everyone a good and safe week.
