A week in the life of a temporarily single mom

I am a temporarily single mom. My husband, Adam, is working for the summer in Charlotte, NC.

It's going on 5 weeks and I miss him! But...

...I am super proud of my hubby for what he's doing. He's working for Audio Ethics, a sound/production company that is exactly up his alley. He was even part of the production crew for a Newsboys concert. Fun!!

So, here's a recap of what my week looks like as a temporarily single mom:

My Day
6ish Wake up & get ready
7ish Wake up Christopher/breakfast/morning TV
7:30 Joanna's here so Mommy goes to work!
7:30am to 2:30pm Fun with "Nanna"
2:30pm Mommy's home!
From 2:30pm on, each day's a bit different:

Mondays we grab a bite to eat, then go to Mommy's voice lessons, then it's home for dinner/TV/Bathtime/Sleepytime

Tuesdays we grab a bite to eat, wait until it's 5:30 (sometimes Christopher naps), go to my Hip Hop class at the gym (where Christopher loves the KidsClub!), then it's home/dinner/tv/bath/sleepytime

Wednesdays: home, grab a bite to eat, hang out or run errands until it's time for the routine

Thursdays: similar to Wednesdays

Fridays: similar to Thursdays

Some days we'll throw in a trip to the mall play area or library in the afternoons. Those are always fun!

And I am very grateful that God provided us with a wonderful "Nanna"! Joanna Scales is a wonderful girl from our church who needed a part time job for the summer--while we needed someone to take care of Christopher for the summer. Perfect!

Joanna (Christopher calls her "Nanna") comes to our house every day, from 7:30am to 2:30pm, takes Christopher to the park, lets him color all he wants, and makes sure he is well taken care of while Mommy works at Air 1 radio (www.air1.com).

Joanna's family is like our extended family here in CA. Her Mom, Jan, lives within walking distance, and they often take Christopher on errands and other fun stuff like the "pito madona" (Parquecito de McDonalds/McDonald's Play Area).

As if that were not all, Joanna's little sister, Natalie (Christopher calls her "Nani") is Christopher's favorite friend from church! Natalie is 11 years old, but she loves Christopher and he loves his "Nani". So every now and then, he'll get to play with Nanna and Nani while Mommy's away.

It's all worked out great. Thank you so much, Lord, for providing for all of our needs.

And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
