Shout out to all the single parents

I started back at work on a Friday. Surprisingly, I was doing fine with all the hustle and bustle of catching up and handling new projects until everyone I ran into decided to ask me if I missed Mads. Then I started to REALLY miss her.

Not only that, the Hubs is out of town this weekend, which leaves me and Mads home alone this weekend. I am not going to pretend to know what it is like to be a single mother nor am I in any way trying to minimize it. But this weekend has already been quite an interesting challenge, albeit it's only Saturday night and Mads went down to sleep at 6PM just fine.

I only caught a small glimpse of what it's like to raise a baby on my own and boy, kudos to all the single parents that do it every day. I had to keep an eye on her while cooking, cleaning, and doing daily things like use the bathroom. It felt like the ultimate self-sacrifice because every single moment is spent focused on the tiny little one and nothing I did was for me or myself. Even bathroom visits revolved around Mads' mood of the moment.

Really can't wait for the Hubs to come home.

Girls' weekend!
