I would like to do a shout out to all the single moms out there. I don't know how you do it. There should be an award for surviving being a single parent.
I say this, because I had food poisoning this week. Thank God, my husband was off work the next day to take care of Riley, because I was useless! I was weak, still had stomach pains, had not slept the night before so I was in a daze, I pretty much lay on the couch and watched the day go by.
At some point during my hazy day, I thought, what would I have done if I was a single mom. Call in for re-enforcement? But what if no one came to my rescue? I guess I would have pushed through, as us moms do on a regular basis.
I hear you! I have , on rare occasion, spent the majority of the day on the couch while the kids played around me. All 6 of us got a stomach bug over a 5 day period and it hit me late night. Symptoms were pretty much gone by morning but I was useless. J helped with the girls in the am and got them from school after but I was alone with the little ones for some hours.
