I can only begin to understand what someone may think that means.. A semi single mom.. Well, in my case anyway it means that my daughters father is here and in the picture but not here all the time. I work full time and then come home and take care of our daughter full time. Even if her father is home, a lot of times I am still her primary care taker. He will get up with her at night but sometimes its a fight because we are both tired. Not that I'm necessarily complaining mind you, I am just finding it harder than I thought to raise a child with both parents in the energy sector.
D. even admitted to me the other night that I am a part time single mom. I've been so horribly bad at being patient lately. He's been out for almost 2 weeks and just go to casing yesterday. He was only able to be home with us for a day but it was a good 24 hours. Good as in I am now an engaged semi single mom. It was really hard to watch him go back out. He misses so much. Our little girl is getting teeth and also she is starting to define herself as a roller. The nice thing is that while D has been gone I've been able to get our little bug on a sleep routine.. YAY! that means after 830/9pm I am on my own to do glorious things! Like cleaning! and still trying to put the house away after we moved in a month and a half ago! and you know, eat dinner! Now if I can only get everyone on a schedule of eating on time and going to bed early. With work I have been so stressed that I come home and all I can really handle is taking care of little girl. That is all going to change soon! I have a date with Richard Simmons starting next week! Goal is to raise a beautiful child and to lose 45lbs to be down to my ideal weight. D loves me just the way I am but I need to do this for myself and my health. YAY RICHARD SIMMONS!!
