Hi Karen.... I'm a single mom, but to an older child. Though she was not an infant/toddler when she came home, (emotionally she was about 5), it was very difficult to get into a working routine! She had to be EVERYWHERE I was, at every minute of the day. I was a career woman, went anywhere at any time I wanted to, and now, I had to rethink the smallest little things. Don't misunderstand..... I would NOT go back to my OLD LIFE for all the money in the World... It just takes time, and some mistakes to get it comfortable for the both of them....

Even with an older child, I would need a break, and my sister would take DD overnight, and I would get soooo much done. Sometimes, I save a day from work, to stay at home, clean, yard work, etc. while DD is in school and after school program. I found that I am a better Mom for her when I am not sweating the SMALL STUFF. I have found the "good place" now, and sometimes, it is still difficult, but your mindset has changed, and it ALL falls into place!

Blessings to Mel and Isabella.....
