It was so great to wake up this morning with my husband here for the day! It gets pretty lonely all day around the house with only a 4mth old and dogs to talk to. If there was a fly on the wall during my days it would think I was nuts. I talk to my dogs like they are people, but I swear that they do understand me.
Instead of walking around half dazed, 7am approached and he went and got the baby out of his swing. We laid him on the bed, he changed his diaper while I went and warmed up a bottle. Then we both just tickled and played with him for a while, before I went downstairs and made breakfast. The idea of actually making breakfast instead of just having coffee until lunch is exciting in itself. And now I have blogging time!
Its funny how I am so looking forward to this day because with both of us here we will have time to clean the garage & do a little yard work. Where once Saturdays meant sleeping in and plannin big nights out. I have to say, I don't really miss it. Well, the sleeping in part wouldn't be so bad.
It just makes me think of moms who dont have a second pair of hands. I mean I believe that it truly does take a village to raise a vhild. We are so blessed to have unlimited hands, grandmothers, aunts, uncles, grandpa, great-grandma's, best friends... I truly cannot fathem being a single mom, without any help. There are so many women out there like that. Who raise their childrem totally on their own. Just what it must take to work, keep a home, raise a healthy and happy child - alone. Those may be the strongest people on the planet. I truly don't think I would ever been able to appreciate those mothers until being one myself, with so much help and still feeling like I could be doing better. I know all moms share this thought, that they do their best, but want to do better for their children. I think that is what makes a great mom.
So to all you working single moms out there, I applaude you. You are nothing but inspiration to the rest of us. I am honestly in awe of you and please tell yourself that you are amazing everyday.
