Girls, I know most of us find ourselves in a situation we never dreamed we would be in. When we were little girls we used to dream of one day having a wonderful husband and children living in a beautiful house with a white picket fence living together as a family. Well, that's not where we are. However, we have to play the cards we were dealt. Being a single parent is hard work. We have to balance being a full time mom with a job, house keeping, and try to manage a social life. We have to be the good guy and the bad guy with our children. We have to do all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, dishes, grocery buying, playing, reading etc. We have to get the kids up and ready for school or daycare. Make sure we have everything turned in for those field trips as well as get ourselves ready and out the door fully dressed for work. It's hard. It seems the laundry never ends and the trash always needs to be taken out. There is just not enough time in the day it seems. We have to discipline and comfort all with the same hand.

As single moms, if we ever plan to get married and start a family, we have to try to manage a social life for ourselves. Mr. Wonderful isn't going to come knocking on our door so we have to try to get out once in a while and have some grown up time! This is also difficult. Some don't have family around to help out, and finding someone you trust to watch your precious angel is not easy and get's expensive. Then there are the trials of dating as a single mom. You think you find a great guy who claims he doesn't have a problem with you having a child, he's totally fine with it. So, you think maybe it's time to introduce the kids and then what happens??? You never hear from him again. Which is fine, if he isn't into our babies we don't need him anyway, but still, it's tough! Some of us don't have the "daddy" around and have to try to explain or comfort when that child misses their "father". This is a tough job we have girls, BUT...it is all worth it when that little baby hugs you and says "You're the best Mommy in the world" the unexpected "I love you's" with a hug and kiss make it all worth while. We are the ones with the magic kiss that can heal any hurt and ache. We are the ones who can make those monsters under the bed go away. When it's dark they reach for our hand for guidance. When they are sick they want to be in our laps. Yes, it is hard, but we are strong, look how far we have made it. We can do this and succeed because, girls, we are THE MOMMY!!!!!!
