Single Parent

For all those single parents or parents with deployed spouses, I salute you. You have one TOUGH job.

I had a taste of being a single parent this month. Hubby went on work travel for 6 days. I'm counting Sunday through Friday as 6 days.

I decided that being a temporary single parent is like running.

When you first start you feel great. You go too fast and do not pace yourself. You're super mom. Shortly afterwards fatigue sets in and you decide this suck. You question why you are doing this. The end seems far away. That was my Tuesday. It will get its own post. Awful day. Then you get over the hump and realize you can do it. You pull your head up and say this isn't so bad. And finally the end! You see the finish line and you sprint. Then you crash on the ground.

I hope to not do this frequently. It takes a team to raise small children. I'm THANKFUL my husband is back!

Love,
