puppetmakerPeter is in Seattle for Emerald City Comic Con this weekend. He left yesterday.
Being a single parent is hard. I applaud all those who do it day in and day out.
It is easier now that it was say even 5 years ago since Caroline is now at an age where she can do many things for herself. She is a self-starter in the morning, which makes my life easier. I don’t have to be in the same room with her all the time. I am not worried that she is going to injure herself by eating something she shouldn’t or play with things that might hurt her. It is a funny kind of peace.
She does have more after school activities along with lessons. This evening she has flute, Kung Fu and Girl Scouts. Takes her from 4 to 7:30 with pretty much no break. She may be adding the school play to the mix.
Hard to believe that two weeks ago we were in London England. Feels like much longer.
I have a couple of hours to myself before Caroline’s afternoon starts up. I plan to try to get some stuff done that needs doing.
This weekend Caroline and I will do Mother/Daughter activities that we want to do. No big plans but lots of little projects that need to be done. Monday evening Peter will be back and we will be a two parent family again.
I am grateful to whatever stops this cough that is ripping my head apart.
