I consider myself a strong, independent sort of person. However, when it comes to parenting, I'm a total wimp. I depend on Brian coming home from work to relieve some of my stress and strain. Brian has to travel occasionally for work, and every time that's happened I've used it as an excuse to go visit family. I really don't like doing the single mom thing. But...I can't run away forever. Brian left this morning for a 5 day business trip, and I decided to buck up and be a real woman. I'm braving it on my own.
It kind of sucks. But I'm sure I'll survive.

How about I kick out Damon and we have a sleep over??
I'm game!
So when do I get to play with your kids so you can have some mommy time?
Um, how about right now!!! :)
You have no idea how happy I am to read this! Joseph was gone all last week and now he's left again for the whole weekend for the funeral, and I keep wondering if it's normal to really dislike being a single mom. I never ever want to be one for real, that's for sure! I must be a wimp when it comes to parenting, too, because I absolutely rely on him when he gets home. We do just fine, don't get me wrong (and I'm sure you did, too!) but it's just not the same and I'm so glad my husband's not in medical school or a resident or anything crazy like that!
