Choosing Between Kids As A Single Parent

It doesn’t happen often, but as a single mom sometimes I have to choose where I’ll be. Which kid I will watch do whatever.

Today was ALMOST one of those days.

My 2nd daughter, Smooch, plays tennis. She’s a senior and today was her last regular game that I could attend. It was also the first one I’d be able to make. The last time I tried she got rained out!

Turned out my youngest son also had soccer at the same time I needed to be heading to Smooch’s game, which was an hour away.

I had NO option. I had to stay for my son. There was no way to get him home. We don’t have family around to ask to pick him up. I have friends, but can only ask so much of them.

During work today I checked my messages and soccer had been cancelled because of a homecoming activity! How amazing is that? I consider it a God “thing”.

Without this cancellation, I would’ve missed the tennis match. I’m so thankful I didn’t miss it. She played amazingly!

She WON so easily and it was a beautiful thing to watch. I was so sad to have missed so many of her games this year. There was nothing I could do about it though.

So, today worked out ok, but it hasn’t been so pretty before. Another time I’ll share about having to be in 3 different places at once and my magnificent meltdown.
