Book

Last night, I ordered this book. Just ordering the book made me feel a teeny bit better, that this is maybe something I can think about and decide on and not just go along with whatever the Fates shall bring. (Given that a few hours earlier, I was on the phone with my sister sobbing so hard that it took a few tries for her to even understand what I was going on about.) And of course, I really wouldn’t be me if one of my first instincts in a crisis was not to go and find a book about whatever is causing the crisis. Today I was in actual physical bookstores looking at parenting books, specifically looking for books about single parenting, or memoirs by single mothers, or something along those lines. But I didn’t find any – I think single mothers don’t have time to write about the experience.

Oh, and bonus points for me – I ordered the book used to save a little money. Not as cheap as “free from the library” would have been, I realize. But I’m trying to start thinking of money a little differently, because I know if I do go through with a single motherhood plan, it’s going to turn my finances upside-down.
