All The Single Mommies

I’ve never really thought about what it’s like to be a single mom. Ok, that’s not true. I’ve joked about being a single mom before. There was a period of time when my husband was working very demanding hours and didn’t see the kids for days because he was still sleeping when they left the house for school and he didn’t come home until after they were asleep for the night. It sucked. I did everything myself. I actually thought at times it would be easier to be a single mom because at least then I’d get a break, right? I’d get a break when daddy takes the kids for the weekend or the night or even to lunch!

But during that time when I felt like I couldn’t take anymore of the kids by myself and I thought I’d go crazy, he would come home at night and then we had our time together. I could unload on him and relax and I had his company. I wasn’t alone.

Well, now my husband is away for the first time without me and for the past 4 days, I’ve gotten a dose of single-momdom, and it’s not easy at all.  If I was a single mom, I’d have to go to work on top of solely taking care of my kids and that is a big difference. A huge difference. I don’t know how you single moms do it. When my husband comes home tomorrow, I think I might just say hi and then go running for the hills. All the single mommies, you are seriously Rock Stars!
