A lot of prayers…also holding on to God’s promises for single moms like this:

“Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated. You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood. For your Maker is your husband the LORD Almighty is his name…” Isaiah 54:4-5(NIV)

Thanks for sharing that WVM, and you are so right. I’ve had to admit that I need help with many things regarding parenthood. I too am independent, but inda by force. I’ve heard my mom snottily say too many times when I asked her for help “He’s your kid, you deal with it” So I assume everyone feels that way. I’ve grown to not like asking.

But there are times when it seems everyone is willing to jump in and I really appreciate that it’s great

I hear ya, sister.
I’m sick right now and thank goodness my kids are tweens and can mostly fend for themselves.

I have learned over the past 5 years as a single mom, though, that sometimes you just have to ask for help. I’ve always had a hard time doing that, being fiercely (and sometimes stupidly) independent. But whenever I do bring myself to reach out, I’m always amazed at the response. People want to help. They’re there for you, more often than not.

Fellow moms, neighbors, co-workers – all have helped me in times of need. I looked at them as a last resort, but maybe I shouldn’t have.

It goes without saying that I’m always willing to help them in return.

I wish I had a great answer but I don’t.

We just do the best we can and hope for the best. I always keep in mind that even if I do lose my temper while sick and stressed it’s only a few days out of a lifetime. I don’t beat myself up about it, knowing I’m normally a great mother. All you can do is your best. When your sick your best isn’t what it normally is. This is just the way things work. I don’t think our kids will grow up and look back on those moments saying “Wow, mom was so awful to me when she had a fever.” Provided you’re not going on a rampage I think it will all work out.
