Single Parenting

Jun 19 2008

Published by Squirrel at 6:21 am under a very good mother... really!

Three days down.  Halfway through my week as a single parent.  So far, so good… despite last night’s tete a tete with young Zip.

There’s something about being on my own with these miscreants.  I amp it up a few- strangely organized and no afternoon snoozes- and am strangely capable of handling more than usual.  I’m also surprisingly productive. I don’t know how sustainable this pace would be, if I were to find myself a full-time single parent, but it is a good experiment in proving to myself that I can manage things solo.  Even last night’s conflict got resolved with all of my hair intact.

Between finishing the garden, morning school and getting my ass kicked in chess this day will be pretty much kid-focused.  Particularly after reading this morning, I feel immensely fortunate and blessed to have the opportunity to share a care-free day with all of my beauties.  Camera in hand of course… in an effort to keep a piece of each and every precious day with them.

Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them. -Orison Swett Marden

    • Say It!

      … when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason. - John Keats

      Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve! - Andrew Carnegie

      As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives. -Henry David Thoreau
