UHAULin' and single parenthood

Since becoming a mother I have realized how difficult it would be to be a single parent. Most days I have Don to take over if I really need help, even if I don’t accept it, it is nice to know. Last weekend I felt like a single parent, so here’s the story: My brother decided to transfer to Duke Law from University of Chicago. I am really glad he decided to do this however there was a downside. He had to bring his furniture from there to here the cheapest way possible. So he decided to drive it back in a UHaul overnight… not a safe thing to do on your own obviously. My husband being the good guy that he is agreed to accompany him. He flew out at 11:00am Saturday and made it back to NC about 1:00pm Sunday (he didn’t actually make it home until about 2:30 because of a dryer fire but that is a whole other story). When he did make it home he needed a nap until 5:45 (he hadn’t slept on the drive) and then he went to bed at 8:00pm and couldn’t help on the “night shift.”
I am tired. So very tired. Having responsibility 100% of the time for days on end is a lot to deal with. My mom helped when she could but it was hard not having Don here. So to all you single moms my hat is off to you, I honestly don’t know how you do it. Don is taking the baby for an hour while I blog and shower. Okay I’m really tired, I don’t know that this blog makes any sense but hey I thought I should write a little somethin’ somethin’.
