Today was a long day. My girls had dance recital photos done.....I had to pay for 5 different costume shoots. I tired to keep it low cost by picking simple photo packages. I think I did OK. I just had so much to do! My son was giving me a headache over some behavior issues. He is not listening to me and perhaps I am not hearing him. These are the times it is so hard to be a single parent. I have to do so much parenting alone. The days seem long and hard. I have to keep telling myself it will be all worth it....in the end.
The same with money, saving it and budgetting it, making due and not getting
what you want when you want it....
It is knowing the difference between needs and wants. I like to say I have my long term glasses on much of the time. I want to Live life and parent with a long lens so to speak. In the end we know there is a reward for those who do. I think it makes one more at peace and secure. Maybe you get less wrinkles.
Maybe our eyes twinkle more because it is like we have a hidden wonderful secret. We know that in the long run being thrifty brings untold rewards....some we can not even see.
Life as a single mom
