I am a full-time student. On top of being a single mom, I am also a full-time student. My days are spent at school. My evenings are spent with my kids and after the boys go to bed, my nights are spent studying. I live off of coffee and Red Bull. I borrow hours from the next day in order to fit everything I need to do into my day. My days begin at 7 a.m. and end at 2 a.m. But I will be the first to admit that no amount of studying can even begin to compare to what I have learned through my children. They have taught me so much about loving and life and more importantly, LOVING LIFE. ♥
I am sole provider. This does not only pertain to providing for my family financially, but also with love and support. I kiss boo-boos and wipe tears. I have been peed on, pooped on and puked on. But being a single parent also means I get to claim ALL of the hugs, kisses and "I love you's". Every single moment is worth it, knowing that I, and I alone, am raising two amazing little men.
I am not a settler. I refuse to just settle with ANYTHING. I have watched so many friends settle with a man so that they wouldn't feel alone anymore - not because they were madly in love. I have watched too many people in my life settle on a job - just because it pays the bills - and then they get stuck. My life is anything but ordinary. It is EXTRAORDINARY. And I refuse to settle for anything less than perfect.
I am confident. I am confident in who I am and where I'm going. I believe everything happens for a reason and everything has a way of working out exactly as it should. I am confident that karma exists and I am content in knowing that she will deliver...
I am a survivor.
You are a SUPERWOMAN! Well said, my friend. I admire you for all you have done, and all that you will do. Stay strong, Superwoman!
