I look forward to one hour a night to just do what I need to do for myself. I'm just insanely tired .
Insane tiredness is the hallmark of any mother, especially one that is doing it alone.
Also, she may be a high-need child now, but that could change in a month, a week, a year, whenever. Just take each day as it comes. At that stage in Cameron's life, I decided that Dateline NBC was the one hour nightly I wanted more than anything. And I would get it while nursing him to sleep. I could also read a book or magazine.
