TGIF

Never have these words rang so true.
This week I played the role of single mother and I didn't like it at all. Jason worked nights this week because he was covering for someone else. He went into work at 4pm and got out anywhere between 10pm and 2am depending on the night. So there I was left to get the kids ready in the morning, as always, but I was also the only one home with them after school, at dinner and for bedtime. By Tuesday morning I had the early signs of a virus with body aches, chills, sore throat and a runny nose. Feeling sick and not having someone to take the brunt of child raising responsibilities off my shoulders was incredibly hard. Kaleb had his share of meltdowns around bedtime this week and I know it was because he was missing his daddy. Emerson, God bless her, is an angel at bedtime and she goes to sleep for me with no problem. Unfortunately, this week she must have been feeling something too because she kept waking in the night. Lucky for me, one or two of those times happened when Jason was home and still awake in the living room so he was able to take care of her. I am just in desperate need of sleep. Why am I on the computer then? I should be up in my bed, sleeping! TGIF!
