Being a single mom is hard...really hard. Holding the sole responsibility for another human life is stressful, let alone finances, housework, and doctor's appointments.
Over the next few weeks, I'll be catching up on blogging. I fell way, way behind. But, I think that it was worth it and necessary. Had I kept up with the blogging during the craziness, instead of allowing myself to settle in to my new life, I would have started to see blogging as a chore. That's no fun. But now I'm back and excited to catch up.
I wanted my first post back to be one that was uplifting for all the single mommies out there, so here is the short list of the advantages to being a single mom:
Morning smiles are just for you
No one can criticize your housekeeping skills
You discover just how efficient you can be
You find out who your true friends are...
And appreciate them more than ever
Evening smiles are just for you
You discover your mom may have been right about everything all along
You can make up cheesy songs to keep your kiddo happy, and no one can tell you the lyrics make no sense
Freshly bathed baby smell is just for you
You appreciate your family support more than ever
You are forced to repriortize...and are happier for it.
While we definitely have our fair share of challenging days, nothing can take away from these things.
