How Do You Do It?

Let me tell you something. I have no idea how single parents (either male or female) are able to raise kids without help. I am not talking governmental help - I am pretty sure that no American government agency will send over someone on a Sunday morning to help you get your kids ready for church at 9:45am. I sure hope there's not. Maybe for an ACLU gathering, but definitely not for church. Although, the Feds (and Rod B.) seem to be moving closer to constant "help" every day for those of us who are “poor”.

I can see it now.... in IL it would be "All Help", just sign up for this program and our Governor will make sure you have whatever help you need, whenever you need it. Funding would be paid for by Casinos on every creek in IL, naming rights for all the State Police Cruisers and the leasing revenue from historic sights like Lincoln’s tomb and Cahokia mounds. This would occur right after “All-Pets” - Rod’s plan to cover all pets in IL with vet insurance.

I digress. I have learned in the last several months, and specifically since Cindy died, that my ability is not adequate to handle two kids, 5 and under, by myself for any length of time. I guess that is why on Full House there was Cousin Jesse and the other guy living with the Tanners. And then add to it one sick kid and another one trying to cut a tooth? I just was not mentally equipped for this challenge.

However, I think if Duct tape was an appropriate way to control kids - I could manage it all quite nicely. - Just a joke - I would NEVER use Duct tape. Too much residue.

Help out a single mom/dad in the next couple of weeks. They will need the help to get away and buy/wrap presents… away from the kids.
