When Mommy doesn't feel well

I have to tell you, those single parents out there deserve more credit!  I can't imagine having a child and a full time job without my wife there to help me.  The last few days she had been down for the count with what we will politely call a stomach bug.  During that time it has been mostly me and my little lady on our own while mommy rests and eats bread.  She has tried to help when possible but there is only so much you can do when your stomach wants to kill you.  On one hand, it has been great getting so much quality time with my daughter, but on the other hand it has been absolutely exhausting!

Tonight I am up baking the week's veggies for lunch and getting laundry done while trying to find a new nanny to fill in for some child care conflicts we have coming up.  Two nights ago it was baking a cake for our daughter's first birthday cake smash photos that have been scheduled for months.  There are many people out there that would laugh at me right now, but it is a lot to keep up with while also trying to prepare for my week at work and evening classes.

The bottom line is: being a good parent can be extremely hard work, but the late nights are worth it cause I get to see that beautiful face in the morning...  Oh that's right, not tomorrow morning, i've got Sunday reserve duty and daylight savings time is gonna make that extra fun.  

Have fun tomorrow honey, I hope that bug has flown away!
