The Single Mom

I'm not sure how they do it day in and day out - work full time while raising children. I know it's done and done well a lot of the time, but I am certainly grateful when I hear the front door open at midnight and Bill getting home from his business trip. I just function better with my "better" half. Last night, after putting the kids to bed, I opened up my work computer and lost all track of time. As I almost rested my head on the pillow, I realized I had not made Lauren's lunch for the next day, nor had I selected the clothes she was to wear. I did not want to go through that battle at 6am the next morning, so I selected a new shirt she got in the mail, knowing it'd be a winner. What 5 year old would ever turn down sparkles...plus it rhymes.
