Hi Arsh, thanks for checking in. There is not much to report currently. Our daughter is adjusted well, we just need to be healthy. We're better but still a little sick. Our weekends for the summer are all booked and we have a lot going on but sometimes I think it's too much so we may need to scale back. We lived in South Florida the past few years and now we're back up North, so whereas summer there was a time to stay indoors due to the heat, here it's a time to be outdoors more often. We're busy for sure but everywhere we go, and it literally feels like everywhere, I very rarely, if ever, see another single parent. Everyone I meet, everyone I see is married. Most often I see happy couples together laughing with their babies and toddlers. Other times I see moms with big diamond rings talking about how they need to get home to make dinner for daddy. My many happily married friends tell me I don't need a man and if their husbands ever leave or cheated they divorce them right away even if it means being homeless but I know they have no idea what they're saying, especially the ones who stay-at-home and haven't worked in 10 or 20 years. It's not that easy! So my biggest struggle currently is feeling like it's just me who is a single mom. Sure there are the 50 or so members here and I'm sure there are plenty of single parents spread out around the country and world but they're nowhere to be seen in my area here or where we lived before. I guess it's the demographic group with which I belong that has a zero divorce rate or something....but it definitely requires extra strength to go out every day among all the married couples and not miss my husband terribly.
