Raising kids, one parent at a time.

How do You do it?

How do single mothers do it? That is a question that I find myself asking all the time. How do I do it? The truth is that I really don't know. I do what I have to do in order that my kids survive and have the best childhood that they can have. I hardly get enough sleep, My house gets to be a mess sometimes with toys in every room. Sometimes my kids eat cereal for dinner because that is what they want and I am not in the mood to argue.

Once you become a single mother, by which ever route, there is a type of strength that just builds within you. You can go for hours on just the energy of knowing that you are doing what is best for your family. That may mean running from appointment to school to work to meeting to school to daycare to the gym to the grocery store and then home all within a few hours of sunlight that the day has to offer. Single moms should renamed super moms.

Tell me some stories about how you as a single mom(read Super Mom) do it. Have you ever had one of those awesomely productive days where you got so much accomplished that you just wanted to shake your own hand. Share your stories, maybe we can learn something from you.
