I'm tired after along week of single parenting. I have really NOT got this gig down. One of my big problems is failure to pace myself. So here I am, with one more day to go and slightly panicked about where I'll find the wherewithal to last that one more day. There oughta be a book. (There probably is.)
But if there's anything that my sporadic single-parenting has taught me, it's that the men and women who do this everyday are the unsung heroes of our society. The single-parents, military spouses, people who have traveling spouses, they carry a burden that is enormous for one person to handle. So, if you run into a single parent, buy her a drink. Or better yet, volunteer to watch the kids so she can take some time for herself. Just don't let her waste it on a trip to the grocery store.
