No, I don’t think that I’ll actually become ‘supermom’. After all,
tearing off all my clothes to reveal my colorful superhero leotard all the time
wouldn’t really be a financially sound decision. However, there are some days
that I wish I had super powers, or the ability to clone myself, or maybe just a
super-coffee strong enough to make me forget that I’ve gotten less than five
hours of sleep a night over the course of the last four weeks. More seriously- there are some days where I
wish I was a more experienced mother, or I knew more single parents (yes, I’m
including you custodial dads) or mentors who could offer me advice along the
way. It is a long, lonely road. And it’s
exhausting. Did I mention…it’s EXHAUSTING? But it’s also worth it. My kids are
worth it. And that’s why I’m here; to
share my research and experiences, and hopefully have an outlet for this whole
insane experience that might touch your life in some way. Perhaps you might
empathize with my experiences, or have advice or offer me, or simply be curious
about the journey. Whatever your reason for reading may be; welcome. The camaraderie
is free, just don’t ask me to change any more diapers. J
Kristie,
ReplyDeleteHave you blogged before? You are a *natural*--your voice is unique and strong, your pacing is fierce, and you had me laughing right away--you know how to engage your audience. I'm impressed.
Thank you- I have not. I don't even have facebook. I guess being a single female has made me very cautious about how I 'put myself out there'.
