single moms

I now have a whole new appreciation for single moms.  Ryan has been in France for over a week now and I am so ready for him to get home.  I usually pick Lola up from school, come home and make dinner, so I am used to that... What I'm not used to is getting her up, dressed, and off to school in the mornings.  Ryan always does that!  I had to get up 30 minutes early each day this week so I could try to get ready before she woke up.  It worked all but one day - that day I had to get ready with her running around the bedroom which took much longer.  Just getting out the door with what feels like 8 bags is a huge pain.  I forgot something each day but at least I made it.  He goes to South Africa the end of Feb/beginning of March.  I will be 35 weeks pregnant at that time, so I imagine it will be a whole lot worse than this time!  But at least I know what to expect.    :)
