Single Parenting
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.
