My patriarchal blessing has a line about providing for my family. I have always H A T E D that it was in there, but it was another source of encouragement to help me decide to finish school. And thank goodness for that!!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16981415125894714419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10152513.post-23855085639772842842009-09-17T01:05:53.308-06:002009-09-17T01:05:53.308-06:00Aren't you already being a single mom?

You are absolutely cut out for this, and better prepared than most mothers who suddenly find themselves parenting alone. you are already strong and already capable.Blasphemous Homemakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01716335760006869010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10152513.post-13123745088645297282009-09-15T17:40:23.896-06:002009-09-15T17:40:23.896-06:00BUT I'm keeping the power drill; not 'put&...BUT I'm keeping the power drill; not 'put'. :-PKatiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16981415125894714419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10152513.post-36201018487535092892009-09-15T17:39:57.751-06:002009-09-15T17:39:57.751-06:00"I have also realized when my husband isn'..."I have also realized when my husband isn't around and I know I have to take care of everything, I can."<br /><br />I have also noticed this. There is a HUGE difference already. There will be a much bigger difference after I sell/declutter a bunch of stuff. Put I'm keeping the power drill, oh yeah!<br /><br />I like the idea of just doing one thing at a time. I am a perfectionist and tend to see things in terms of all or nothing.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16981415125894714419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10152513.post-26414694120956839462009-09-15T17:29:30.755-06:002009-09-15T17:29:30.755-06:00Find a chore you want the kids to learn to do, and...Find a chore you want the kids to learn to do, and do that with them. That way you aren't trying to clean everything at the same time and you still teach them. I'm a horrible homemaker but I'm a work in progress. <br />I have also realized when my husband isn't around and I know I have to take care of everything, I can. But, I recommend if you do have someone who could come over once or twice a week, you could get a lot done. Ask for help when you need it. I know people are more than willing.Marlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18268608957275481779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10152513.post-85795707612485864882009-09-13T17:26:38.248-06:002009-09-13T17:26:38.248-06:00I was so close to giving up being a single working...I was so close to giving up being a single working Mom too.
