I feel like I've been doing a pretty good job of turning lemons into lemonade as of late. Well, today was one of those days where I'm just going to take the lemon and not even make an attempt at lemonade. Long story short, I had to pick up M at school early today - fourth time I've had to do that this month. Our "never sick" kids have been "non-stop sick" lately and it's incredibly taxing when you're literally the only person to pick them up and take care of them. Try to explain to your clients that, "I'm so sorry I've got to skip our important meeting but, you see, my kid is sick and my husband isn't here and we don't have any family nearby...blah blah blah." I'm done.
For the millionth time I'm having a moment of profound appreciation for single Moms and Dads who are single parents EVERY DAY. I cannot imagine and I am (here I go...) counting my blessings that our situation is only temporary. Really. Single parents are my new heroes.
