ugh. single parenting

One of the hardest things about having your spouse deployed is that you have to do the parenting job pretty much all by yourself. Most days I'm ok with that but days like today make me really wish my husband were at home. Our daughter will be 8 months old tomorrow and some days she is just really needy and its hard to get anything done. She pretty much didn't nap at all today (only in my arms and briefly at that). I'm not sure why shes been so difficult today but it can get pretty tiring. I don't know how single parents actually do this all the time. I feel bad because I feel like I should be giving my son more attention, and I do make sure he does get some attention, but its hard. When my daughter is actually being a good little baby and sleeping or playing I have things I need to do (like make dinner and take care of the bills). I look forward to the day when my hubby is back and we can parent together again.
