Single Mommying


Soon after we got back from our trip to Provo, Kevin had to leave for a business trip in Atlanta.  For some reason I had been thinking it was just one or two days he'd be gone, but it turned out he would be gone from Tuesday to Saturday--FOUR nights!  I was very VERY nervous about having to hold down the fort all by myself--what if I got the stomach flu again or something?  What if Abby woke up 8 times in one night and I just needed an hour's nap in the morning before I could face the day?

Well, I'm happy to say, it all turned out okay.  I just resigned myself to the fact that I was not going to get anything else done those days besides taking care of Abby.  I stocked up on frozen dinners and made judicious use of Abby's new mobile.  My respect for the single mothers of the world definitely multiplied through the experience, though!

To keep myself entertained one day while Kevin was gone, I did a little photo shoot.  Abby was tired and so I didn't get many smiles, but I daresay she was still adorable.

I am so with you on the single mom thing. How in the world do they manage? I get all grouchy if I don't get a little break multiple times a day but single moms? They are seriously amazing. I guess we all should single mommy it a time or two to booster our respect for them. I'm glad you survived anyway. I'm about to face the same situation in a week or so and it sounds like you have it figured out pretty well already. I'll have to take a page from your book and plan on accomplishing nothing other than taking care of the kids. Your photo shoot turned out cute pictures of Abby!
