single parenting

i know i am not the only single parent out there- and i know i only have one child- so my life is not as difficult as others who have multiple children and are single parents-
i get that -
for me - right now parenting marcus is not that hard just normal kid/tween stuff which i am truly grateful- for me right now its the everyday tasks that seem daunting-
work- help M with homework get meals together- and make dinner- track practice 3 times a week- church and responsibilities there- plus appointments for him and me-

sometimes you just wish you had someone to do the running around for you- its tiring- if you need to go to the school for some reason its you not anyone else- its you who gets the call if he is sick its you who has to run him to the orthodontist on one side of town and then run to his drs appt on the other side. its you who has to run to the store to pick up things for a project or to talk things over about different areas. its you you you oh i know this is a choice i made - i made the choice to become a single mom- it is just tiring at times-

i love being a mom don't get me wrong - he is a joy and a delight and so glad i did not give up on him- he is a lot of fun- so smart - such a servant- and he wants to spend so much time with me- i am glad of that but sometimes i just need space and adult time- anyone get it?

single parenting is not for the faint at heart and it takes so much strength to be one- so proud of all of you who are single parents- keep going you can do it
