Ode to the single mother!

Believe me when I tell you that I am well aware of just how GOOD I have it, but you can't help but have those moments when you think you have it the worst! Because this week has truly been one in which the "sweet bro" (as his ever traveling father likes to call him) and I have not seen eye to eye, it has been a true eye opener to those AMAZING woman who go at it solo! My boss likes to joke that when Brandon finished his Master's degree I didn't know it came with the title of single mom as well. How true it is!

While Brandon does come home for visitation, Fri, Sat (but now football has started so it doesn't count) and half a day Sunday, there are definitely those moments when I feel like a single mom. Sometimes I look like that beautiful lady a top my post! HA! HA! With the stress of working, in my not so stressful job might I add, taking Cannon to the sitter at the BUTT CRACK of dawn, managing all other household duties and trying not to resent Brandon for sleeping un-interrupted night after night in his hotel bed in which he doesn't have to make every day, not to mention those fabulous lobster dinners on the glorious KPMG, at times I feel a bit frazzled!

This post is not meant to complain as much as it is to marvel at the millions of single parents in the world. My mom worked a full time job, had three kids and did it all on her own. (My dad was around but it's different when you are the sole guardian) I marvel at her ability to have raised us so well. I truly don't know how or where people find the strength to take on such an incredible task. It's amazing and I am not sure I could do it well. Kudos to all those girls who have husbands who are ALWAYS gone whether it be work, school or both, and here is a HUGE pat on the back to all those mom's who go at it all on their own. If only you could truly receive the credit you deserved for doing the world's HARDEST job!
