Single Parenthood

Well, let's do the math. Bret was in China for almost two weeks, came back to UTTER CRAZINESS at work which has meant long and hard hours, and for the last four days, Bret's been out of commission with the flu. So, for about a month now, it has felt like I've been pulling single mom duty, and let me tell you, single mom duty is not easy.

Now, Bret does help as much as he can. He does the dishes and laundry, gets the mail and pays the bills, but especially with the flu, he can't really help with Grant. And Grant knows it. He's milking this situation for all it's worth because Mommy is the softy. That's right. Bret thought I would be "The Hammer" as he likes to call me, but truth be told, Mommy goes to mush when those big brown eyes and dimples start flashin'.

Just take a look at this video, and you'll see the kind of help I need. We prayed extra hard tonight for Daddy to get better because Mommy's tired and the house is about ready to cave in on itself.
