Being a mother is the most rewarding and challenging thing I have ever done. I think most of you moms can agree with that statement. It has it's ups and downs and brings incredible joy to our lives.
I have been a single mom for a little over three years now. And let me tell you....it's been my biggest challenge yet. Raising little people...especially primarily on your own...isn't as easy as it sounds.
I am very thankful that my kids father and step mother are involved in their lives. I can't imagine what my kids lives would be like without them. One of the huge blessings that came out of a rough situation. There was a time when the co-parenting relationship wasn't the best. It's taken a lot of work and patience to get to where we are. I can say that both sides are proud of that. Remember.....it's about the kids and not you.
As a single mom I struggle....a lot. Juggling extracurricular activities, homework, baths, work, and just trying to balance life in general can take a toll. There are days I wonder how I get it all done....and most of the time I don't know how I did. When there is only one of you....managing all of that can be so overwhelming.
I have made it this far by the grace of God....no joke. He has been a huge part in helping me keep it all together....and helping me not fall to pieces on the hard days. Without Him I would be sooooo lost. He has intervened in so many situations in our lives and opened doors I couldn't have imagined possible.
My family has also played a huge role in keeping me sane. There have been many phone calls to my momma on a bad day(most of the time crying)....and I can just vent and get her advice. She raised seven kids....her advice is pretty sound. They have also helped me juggle some of the crazy scheduling that I have going on.
My friends are seriously some of the best people you will ever meet....for real. They have been there with me through some really challenging times in my life....and keep me uplifted and happy. Without them....I would be so incredibly lost. Everyone needs a core group of momma friends to get them through life.
I have some incredible kids and it just blows my mind that I've been a momma to them for almost a decade(yes....I'm telling my age lol). They are smart, sweet, understanding, and can make the stress of a bad day go away with one hug or "I love you". It's hard to believe that I have a hand in who they have become....because they are AMAZING.
Single mom life ain't easy....but I'm making it one day at a time. And if you are a single mom....remember...you ARE good enough, you are strong enough, and you are amazing. Sometimes it's hard to forget those things.....but they all ring true. Your kids love you and don't see the flaws you feel like you have. Keep calm and single mom on!
