And so June begins – traditionally the month of Geoff attending conference after conference and me trying to parent in a way that isn’t me yelling and then turning on Netflix. So, instead of getting all stressed out about all the work I am not doing, I’m going to treat this month as a reading month: for work, I will read. I will read lots and lots of different types of books and then steal as much as I can from them. I also made secret pudding and put it in the back of the fridge where Tesfa can’t see it and I will eat all the secret pudding myself. I feel books and secret pudding (butterscotch!) might make this month less fraught.
Big A++++ to all actual single parents out there. All day everyday; I can’t imagine.

butterscotch pudding is best pudding! A big A+++++ to you too, Meghan — I’m sure you and Tesfa will do fine with this year’s instalment of ‘single parenting season’.

Uggg. I feel so tired already. Plus it’s super wet and awful today so I can’t even pretend that we are going to go outside.
I wish I were a more natural parent 🙁
