How do single parents do it?

I truly don't know how single parents do it! My husband has been gone away for work for the past week and a half, it's been hard. Not only do I miss him like crazy, for me. I miss his warmth when I climb into bed at night, his hugs and kisses, his sense of humor, doing his laundry, making dinner for him, I miss watching him and monkey interact, let's be serious here... I miss EVERYTHING about him!

Back to my original post... single parents and how do they do it?

For the past 9 days, I have been that "single" parent... in a sense. And it's so hard! All the diaper changing, feeding, entertaining, bathing, snuggling ( well I do love to snuggle my little angel), the one that has to deal with the crying, temper-tantrums, hissy fits. Then there's the runny nose she has, the pain from teething that causes my little girl to be a fussy maniac. IT"S HARD!

I know 100% that my husband is working his butt off while he's away for work and it's so hard from him to be away from us. I'm totally 100% thankful that he is willing to do everything he does for us. And in no way am I whining or complaining, however it sure seems that way. I guess I just don't understand how people can be single parents... that might be strange.

I have the most amazing husband and after being the "single" parent for a few days... I'm so much more thankful for him. They say time apart makes the heart grow founder... and it's so true! I cannot wait to look into his eyes and tell him how much I love him. How much I love the husband, friend, lover, father, and just all around amazing man he is. I truly am the luckiest woman in the world to have him!

So to all those single parents out there... kudos to you for all your hard work! As for me... it's not my cup of tea (and I'm sure for most it isn't theirs either, but life happens! Right!?) but I will soon have my man home and life will be back to normal... a fantastic life, MY fantastic life.
