What’s the secret?

I can’t say precisely why but I have become resolved over the last few years to not being ashamed to admit when I lack strength or ability. Well, the last 5 days have been ones wrought with displays of my personal weaknesses. As you know, Erin has been on a business trip in Oklahoma, leaving Maggie and I to fend for ourselves. Of course, it couldn’t be as simple as that; I also had a bunch of work to do for a class I am taking and papers to grade for work, all in addition to working all day. Anyway, nothing major has happened (yet–Erin doesn’t get home until tomorrow afternoon), so I guess we made it through okay. That said, I have gained a tremendous amount of respect for long-term single parents. I simply don’t know how people do it. I can categorically say that, if something were to happen and Erin was no longer in the picture, something major would have to change. I would not be able to have the job I currently have and likely would not take any classes, at least for a while. And I am alright with that.
