A New Respect for Single Parents

My husband is still in Cincinnati on storm trouble. He has been for 10 days now. Payton and I miss him dearly. She has woke up both mornings this weekend saying daddy. We had a busy, fun filled weekend. I am trying to keep us both busy so we won't miss him as much.

The past 10 days I have come to realize how hard single mothers must have it. I'm not talking financially. I am just talking about the little things. I am so use to my hubby being here that I've had to find new ways of doing things like.... taking a shower and getting ready without him to keep her occupied, unloading the groceries out of the car and keeping her in sight, cooking lunch or dinner with her in the kitchen with me. Maybe its just things that I'm not use to but it I've come to realize how much easier things are when he is home.

To all single moms ....... I salute you!! I can't imagine how hard it is.

Finally Friday

Thank goodness its Friday!! :)

My husband has been gone a week today. It is getting so lonely at my house. Payton and I are doing fine. She asks for her daddy every evening when we get home. She is talking to him on the phone every day and she will tell you that he is working. Hopefully, he will be home soon.

I have several things planned this weekend to keep us busy. Payton has a birthday party tomorrow and we are going out to dinner tonight.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Do you have anything exciting planned?

See you Monday!!
