Being a single parent is like balancing on one leg.
Smile all the time because that makes everything okay, even if it isn’t.
Shoulders back, hands on hips, ready to take on what comes your way.
Eyes wide open, hearing sharp, so you can keep double watch on your child.
No shoes, because even if your smile is from fantasyland, your foot is firmly in the ground of reality.
–and sometimes being a single parent is like balancing on one leg because the other one is fractured.

Sassy picture. Also true words.
Torie as Flamingo- I like it! Also, having been raised by a single mom, I know what you’re saying. Well said, blondie. And keep up the great work!
Love it!
