Single parenting
Oh my god, am I tired. Exhausted. Is there a word for beyond exhaustion, because if there is, I ... am ... it! Nash has been gone for a mere two days and I'm so ready for his return. Bree has been non-stop since Nash left. No matter how much baby-proofing I do, she still gets into everything. Just this morning I found her systematically taking out potatoes (of all things!) out of our lower cabinet and placing them carefully on the floor, like they were her dolls. I swear I only turned around for a second. Anyway, parenting is truly a two-person job. How did Mom manage after Joe Riley passed away? I know Dad was there for her, but there must've been some point where she looked at Kevin and Joey and wondered, "How in the world am I going to get through the new hour, let alone the next day?" Lucky for me, Nash is only on a business trip, and I have plenty of family to help me out. But it really helps to have that other person in the middle of the night to help you change a diaper or chase away the "monsters."
Who ever said being a mother wasn't hard trying work.But it is only the most important job in the World.Children are our eternity through them we live for centuries.Brea is lucky she has a devoted Daddy that loves her and her Mommy.He'll be home before long to help.Once we find out whats going down in Napa.

You can do it with or without Nash. You are so strong. A lot of ladies do it and know that you can too.

Don't I know it! My daughter (18 months) doesn't sleep!!! Hubbie is in school full time, and working part time, and I find myself alone much of the time trying to handle the housework, my 10 year old son, and her... parenting is hard work! (I hope Starr knows what's awaiting her!)
