Marydean, my DH has just returned from a four month stint in outback NT. Communications even were patchy so we didn't even get to talk to each other much. The day before he left we moved to a very distant country town. You will have my full support.
The suggestions the other girls have made are great.
Routine was my number 1 priorty and we settled really quickly. She knew she could only depend on me and she became pretty independent as well.
Have a look in your local daycare centres. Even though you might not use the centre, sometimes some of the girls do 'babysitting' on the side. I wasn't sure at first, but I got together with another single mum and it was great. Darcy enjoyed the freedom and the 'adventure' too.
Darcy ewnt for the first time to daycare with all our upheaval too, and it turned into one of the best things I've done.
Plus when it's all over, you get to look back with a huge sense of achievement at how great you were when you needed to be.
