We've certainly had our ups and downs in the past couple years. But nothing we couldn't handle. I *think* we came out of this stronger than ever. I feel like that is so cliché... but it's true. We weathered the storm.
Now that we seem to be well adjusted to our new lifestyle, it's not really terribly different. I still wipe the nose, kiss the boo boos and give out hugs. I still do all the household chores, walk the dogs and pay all the bills, except with zero help now. Well, that's not true. Eli will feed the cats and dogs "when he remembers" and throws his dirty clothes down the stairs.
It's not an easy road, this single mother thing. I have come to realize in the past couple years what it really means to hold a child together and hold yourself together FOR your child. Especially when things in your marriage go south out of nowhere.
It hasn't been all bad though; I've learned a lot about myself and how to be a better mom to Eli. I've also learned that change can be good and that I am 100% ok with the fact that our laundry will probably never be put away after it's folded. It will sit on the couch until the Zombie apocalypse. And I don't care. Bigger fish to fry. Bigger fish.
So, there you have it. My "intro" into Single Mommy blog-dom. I'll try to keep it up to date from here on out... *wishful thinking*.
