The inner single mother alarm clock saved me tonight. Just gonna lie down for a minute… I thought, and woke up twenty of them later, with my ‘Honey Do’ list no closer to completions because well… I got no honey to ask to do. Somehow, that’s OK. I think and remember and marvel that I’ve been doing this on my own for two years, just about. Where do we start when we stare down this road? What do women who come by their single motherhood through the loss of someone, rather than the measured desire to have someone? An industrious soul has come up with some starting points for you.
So while I sleepwalk my way through school lunch and laundry and tidying up and figuring out what to wear tomorrow, I leave you to peruse the links that Laura Milligan posted over on Soul Mating: Fifty Divorce Blogs to Find Free Advice and Comfort in Hard Times.
20 minutes is the perfect length for a power nap!
As for the Honey Do list – great name, btw – I know the felling too well. I have lists all over my kitchen table. It drives my kids crazy. And I can never seem to finish them. As soon as I get one thing done, I add two more.
There are moments where I wish I had a Honey around just so I could nap and have something completed when I woke up!
