Thoughtful Thursday
Everyone seems to have a stress problem these days. Some days or worse than others for me. Today, I am doing something thoughtful for myself. I am putting an end to something that has become more stressful than enjoyable. Maybe you should do the same.

A New Respect for Single Parents
My husband is still in Cincinnati on storm trouble. He has been for 10 days now. Payton and I miss him dearly. She has woke up both mornings this weekend saying daddy. We had a busy, fun filled weekend. I am trying to keep us both busy so we won't miss him as much.
The past 10 days I have come to realize how hard single mothers must have it. I'm not talking financially. I am just talking about the little things. I am so use to my hubby being here that I've had to find new ways of doing things like.... taking a shower and getting ready without him to keep her occupied, unloading the groceries out of the car and keeping her in sight, cooking lunch or dinner with her in the kitchen with me. Maybe its just things that I'm not use to but it I've come to realize how much easier things are when he is home.
To all single moms ....... I salute you!! I can't imagine how hard it is.

Multi-Use Items - Ribbon and Dish Rack
Hang ribbon across the wall to hang kids art work from or pictures. You can use decorative paper clips or clothespin.
A dish rack can be used to not only store dishes but also books. This ways you will be able to see the cover of the books and its a neat way for kids to keep books organized.
