I have recently found myself in a new category; instead of marking "married" on an application, I now mark "single" or "divorced". It isn't by my choosing either. I now face challenges I never knew existed! If you are a single mother juggling children, career and chaos you know what I speak of!! My hat is off to single mothers everywhere; you are my heroes!
One word sums up how I feel: Exhausted!
I have four children ranging from 14 years down to 11 months old. You can't tell me I am "Lazy"! My whole life revolves around them! They are the reason for waking up each morning. They are the reason for laying down to sleep at night. But I have no one taking care of Me. I am doing all the care-taking and giving. My "payday" isn't every two weeks, sometimes my "payday" doesn't come for a month or even years.
Being a single mother = ups and downs, tears of joy and sorrow, lonely days and especially nights, headaches and back pains, and, of course, a lot of LAUGHS! You've got to find the humor in the mix of it all.
