Outside of money, the most frustrating thing for me as a single parent is finding the time to do everything. Yes, when I was married he expected me to do most everything because I was home during the day, but now I work close to 30 hours a week and commute for two hours (at least) per day. And some how I have to find time to get laundry done, dishes washed, carpets vacuumed, kids' room picked up, children bathed, homework done, the list could go on and on and on.
As it stands right now, my daughter just completed her homework, that was due today, this afternoon. I have three FULL baskets of CLEAN clothes and two stacks of clean clothes in addition to that and another load in the drier, that need to be folded/hung and put away. I have a dish washer full of clean dishes and a sink half full of dishes ready to be put in the dishwasher once those are put away. And the kids are both ready for baths.
Yet the clothes stay. The dishes stay. And the kids will bathe tomorrow. Today, I'm exhausted and am thinking of going to bed early. Procrastination is not a good trait for Super Moms.
