Why being a single parent is hard

John has been out of town since Friday and he gets back Thursday only to be gone Friday and Saturday again. So that leaves me all along with the 2 year old. All. Day. Long.
And since I am a Stay at home mom, time seems to be going very
s

I know that I am pretty much spoiled, because my dear husband works right down the road and comes home every day for lunch, and he works a lot from the house too.
But I have to say that I like it. And I enjoy his company.
And when he is gone his presence is truly missed. He used to be gone a lot when he worked for InterVarsity, but since he changed jobs not so much. It's different when it's just the dog to take care of.
Food- check
Water- Check
And we put those on the floor!
You just can't do the same with a 2 year old! (Although she does eat off the floor occasionally, but not by my putting it there!)
So we've been seeing friends and will be going on more field trips. I have to admit I went to church and Sunday School not for the Lord, but for the break!
So if you get a call from me my dear local friends, please be available to play and entertain us! We need it!!!!!!!
