So if you happen to be reading this, and you're a single parent, can I just tell you that you amaze me? During this time alone with my children I'll be praying for and thinking of all of you that do the enormous task of guiding little ones, without a constant fellow teammate for support.
Here's my plan to make it through:
1- paper plates
2- eating outside if at all reasonable
3- early bedtimes for everyone especially mommy
4- putting everyone in room time as often as is necessary for me to regroup
5- calling in back up, if I feel in danger of doing anyone bodily damage
6- purchase and use an economy size jug of Calgon.
7- I'm sure there are more, that I just haven't come up with yet...
So to single parents everywhere KUDDOS......... Be kind to yourself as often as possible because your job is unbelievably hard!
If anyone has further tips feel free to share.
ReplyDeleteA very nice, meaningful post. Single moms are super-dynamos. I encourage them to intentionally keep their spirits high. Always seeking for the secrets of "optimal performance" I've recently concluded that all motivation and top-level functioning comes out of keeping your spirits raised. Nietzsche had it right with his ultimate "Yes" to life philosophy.
