Speaker - Listener

Tim and I had a session at Family Expectations last night and wow - it was an eye opener.

I had thought about the fact once this baby arrives he would start his deployments again, I hadn't thought about how I would handle that until last night.

We had to do an exercise about speaker-listener techniques. During it we were told to share something we are apprehensive about once the baby arrives.

Come to find out my biggest worry is the simple fact that while Tim will be away I will act as a single parent. I have so many friends who are single parents and they are doing great. Complete role models in my eyes. So, why then am I so afraid? Maybe it is because a life will be 100% dependant on me and me alone and that scares me. Maybe it is knowing I will be responsible for not only myself but for a baby too.

Either way, I give HUGE kudos to the single momma, daddy's, and military spouses who are currently raising their children. I tip my hat to you and look up to you. You are the reason I think I can do this. I just may be calling you for advice.
