My husband also feeds the baby and gets him dressed in the morning while I am getting ready, which is helpful because I am not a morning person and would have to get up even earlier than I already do. He plays with the baby at night so that I can try and study, but without fail most of the time I'll want to go join the fun and put homework on the backburner. Which is why when too much is going on, Brad takes the baby out for the day so that I can work in peace and undisturbed quiet. I don't know what I'd do without him. I have a whole new respect for single mother because they have more strength in their pinky's than most people have in their whole bodies.
Single mothers are the true superheroes.
I know that having Alex while I am still in college makes me responsible for the chaos in my life. While he did bring chaos, he also brought more joy and love to my life than anything I have ever known. Whenever my life is just completely crazed and professors want more from me than I have time to give them, I look at my son and all that stress just fades away. When I pick him up from daycare, he smiles the moment he first sees me. When I look at that cute little two-toothed smile and hear that giggle, I remember what is truly important in life.
