It's kind of a catch 22 situation for me. On one hand I wish like crazy to have time to go out to a party with my friends, or have some alone time with my husband, but on the other hand I hate being away from my little girl. All I do while I'm away from her is think about her, talk about her and worry about her.

at the moment, as my son is only seven months. the hardest part of it all for me has been the lack of sleep, as he wakes every two hours for a feed. but other then that i absolutely love it and it definitely hasn't been as hard as i thought it would be. :)

nicole: i'm sorry about your daughters father not being in the picture, i have never had to go through that because even though my boyfriend is four years older and no one in my family likes him, he hasn't let it get in the way of us raising our boys together. i don't know what i would do without him and it amazes me that you can work, go to school and be a mom all by yourself. good luck to you and daughter.
leah: i know exactly what you mean, me and my boyfriend have been together three years, have two kids and we are still very young but we can't afford a babysitter and no one can ever watch them for us so we don't get much mommy and daddy time lol
Steph: my son is always getting sick! the doctors can't figure it out but he is always getting colds and running nose and fevers. it's so hard because i have a two year old (the one always getting sick) and a six month old so when one doesn't sleep the other one doesn't and its so exhausting! but i love being a mommy anyways lol

being a single mom is sometimes hard. i go to school and i work and im mommy. i mean i have family to help watch her. but sometimes when i need someone for an hour, i ask her dad and its always no. i don't get any support from him.its also tough when she is sick, only happened once, but still. and when she doesn't want to go to sleep cuz she gets so cranky and doesn't stop crying. i also miss being able to get up and go to the store. but i love every minute of it. (:
