When you’re a single mom and it’s your birthday, it’s pretty much like every other day. Chores. Cleaning. School responsibilities. Figuring out all 3 meals and snacks. Usually, making most, all or planning out all of those said meals. Virtual school. The same old same old.
Your kids don’t always remember it’s your birthday. Mine didn’t. She thought my birthday was next week. It’s not. It was this past Friday. I think I’ll cut her slack since she’s 9 and we’re living in a pandemic without a real sense of a calendar or time as hard as I try to have a schedule. It was truly the first year though, that it didn’t even feel like my birthday. It didn’t feel celebratory. I did see friends over the weekend, but I don’t know. Between virtual school and the responsibility of working from home and everything else, this year has felt so depressing and isolating. I really don’t know if I will make it through 2020.
In the Dark,

I will check it out!! Thank you. I definitely don’t feel appreciated very often, although I think my daughter sees I do a lot. Hopefully when she’s older!
Oh man, I’m sorry. I totally get it. Those years no one asks you if you want anything special and making the day special falls to you. Celebrating you from afar!
Thank you so much!!! I appreciate the support. ❤️
