Supermums all round!

Tomorrow I won't have a lie in, breakfast made for me. I'll wake up in an empty bed again, with my little one shouting for me, as I have for the last 4 months. There'll be no card, or flowers, because there's only my wage coming in now. It shouldn't bother me as much as it does. Trying to think of it as just another day. This must be how it feels to be a single mum.

To the other mums going through this, you aren't alone, though I know all too well it feels like it is. If you're managing to hold the fort and keep everything together for you and your children, you are doing amazing

Not sure how im spending today. Picking my partner up as usual once he finishes his community service (unless i ask his mum to pick him up or it takes him 2 hour to get back rather then 30 minutes - the joys of public transport and having to wait for a train switch) and then chilling. I just want a chill day as im still sooo tired as my daughters been a milk goblin since she was sick Wednesday night through to thursday morning. Every 2 hours milk! Even as a newborn she didnt wake me this much.

My first Mother's Day where one of my children is not in the house when I wake. As teenagers none of them make a fuss on Mother's Day anymore anyway, and he will be home soon and we'll spend the day as a family until he has to leave again tonight, so shouldn't complain really. But there's a hole this morning none the less. An unnecessary one which is the frustrating part! At 18 he should be able to live supervised at home!!
