An enlightenment moment

The pass two months I have seen what it would be like to be a single mother or see how it would be for Mike to be deployed again and us having our Jelly Bean. It would be very hard.
Mike has been gone for some schooling for the Army Reserves. So it has just been Jelly Bean and I. There has been so good days and some bad days. There has been maybe one or two bad days where I felt like I was going to have a nervous break down. I hope and pray that Mike does not ever get deployed again or something happening to him as I just am not ready for any of that.
The single mother's out there are my hero. Even the single dads out there that is doing it on their own to.  You all are strong and brave and never let anyone tell you other wise. To raise your child with no help. To have your child with you basically 24/7. I do not know how you all do it. Also to you military families and the spouse that is left behind during a deployment and you all raising your child while mommy or daddy is gone. You all are my hero to.
I really do not know how I have gotten through this time. I have done lots of prayers and yes I will emit lots of bribery. Okay maybe not lots of it but there was some. I know what you are thinking you shouldn't use bribery with  your kid but sometimes you have to especially when you are already tired and at your wits end with things.
This mommy will be glad when she can have a day to herself or even at least a few hours to herself (hint hint daddy lol) which I think it will be a little bit before that will happen as we have so much that we need to do.
