Chris has been gone for two weeks training for his awesome new job with Paychex, so I have been living the life of a single mom. Wow… What a learning experience this has been! The day he left, Presley got a crazy viral infection and cold. She had never been sick before, but the day Chris travels to upstate NY, she gets two illnessess. With that came vomiting, crazy bad diapers, doctor visits and no sleep. Lovely. Caring for a baby alone is hard enough- but caring for a sick, sleepy baby is even harder. On top of that, I got sick. Lovely.
Thank goodness for great people in my life. I got to hang with some awesome friends, some people brought me food to break up the monotony of eating the same easy-to-fix food for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and family pitched in to watch the baby so I could still go work out. Plus, girls like Nicole Duplechain called to check in on me almost every day to make sure I was ok. Friendships like that are such blessings… She has 2 small girls of her own, but she is always thinking of others. I love that chick!
Chris did great at his training class and is eager to be home (which he will be very soon- yay!). Presley is now getting up on all fours trying to crawl and it’s freaking me out! To stay in tune with what’s happening in our lives, catch Chris and me on Twitter. We are able to update that a lot more than we can blog. Also, my camera battery died and we lost the charger, so pictures are being withheld temporarily. I have new pictures to share, but can’t upload them from a dead camera. Gotta get a new charger before she crawls! Agh!
yeah, the single parent thing is tough! God has been so good to begin having new girls sign up for my lifegroup that are so in need of the love of the Father. they need to know they can get through this season of their lives, being single moms. thanks for your honesty!
well your welcome for coming to watch her
she’s getting so big. what would life be like without family right?
