How do single parents do it?

This question has been on my mind all week as Chris has been in Trinidad on a missions trip. I knew it would be difficult but now that there's just a few hours until Chris gets back, I'm taking a few minutes to reflect on the week.

I am so blessed to have Torin as my son. He's such a good boy and I love him so much. But this was a tough week. It's hard to be on 24/7...every feeding, every diaper change, every everything. I know there were times this week that I lost my patience and I feel guilty for that...it's not Torin's fault. And as I sit here now and watch him sleep, I am overwhelmed with love for him. And I know he will be so excited to see his daddy in the morning.

I know now that I can survive a week like this, even though I don't like it. But what I don't know is how single parents manage...all the time. It's so tiring. I am blessed and thankful that I have a great husband who is coming home to resume the daddy role.

And I think I'm booking a massage!
