All the Single Mommas

If you are a single mommy for whatever reason, I applaud you.  You deserve a gold medal.  You deserve to be placed on a pedastool, and be pampered like the rock star you are.  You deserve all the respect in the world.

I have been a semi-single mommy the last two weeks.  The hubs has been traveling to WV, and was home for the weekend in between.  I've had LOTS of help from my family and friends, but WHEW!!! I know I could not do this full time!  Stressful, tired and haggardly have been the words of the week.  My kids have actually been weirdly good and healthy, which has helped tremendously, but carrying the load of baths, dinners, homework, prep, cleaning, laundry, school notes and every day life are HARD with my hubby- much less when I am flying solo.

Now don't get me wrong- I know it's not the same as being a single momma all the time. 

I still had the hubs who I could talk to on the phone.

I could count down the days until he came home.

I came from a single momma home, and I KNOW how hard it was for my mom, but experiencing it as a child and experiencing it as a mom is a whole other playing field!

So, if you are a single momma, whether it be temporary or for the long haul, know that you are awesome and God doesn't give us anything we can't handle as long as we rely on Him for our strength!!!

(And if you sang the title of this post to the tune of Beyonce's "Single Ladies", it's all right because I geeked out and did it too- her half-time performance in the Super Bowl actually gave me the idea for the title to this post!)
