Reflections on Single Motherhood

It's inevitable, I'm sure, to wonder if I can really handle the job of mother. It's even more daunting to wonder if I can handle being a single mother. It's been pointed out to me that I'm already a single mother of two, albeit two furry non-verbal children who don't walk upright. This point was brought home to me the other night.

I was woken up in the wee hours by the noises of Bob having a seizure. I got out of bed to soothe him and he went back to sleep quickly after the mild seizure. Not to be outdone, Alice woke me an hour later by getting sick several times. I cleaned up after her, rubbing her head before returning to my bed. And as I laid down, I thought....I totally got this motherhood thing down.

Bring it on, Baby.
