Between Logan and school my schedule is pretty tight right now. I don’t have a lot of time outside of my normal motherly duties to spend with my girlfriends, but I was reminded again today of just how important that time is.
After a particularly difficult weekend I got a text from one of my good friends that said how much she would love for a couple of us to get together and go out to lunch this week. I immediately text back to find out when and where. I desperately needed some time out with the girls. We laughed and talked and played for hours; something Logan and I both needed this week.
As a single mom it is so important to surround yourself with good girlfriends that will support you in your time of need. These girls had no idea how badly I needed to get out, they had no idea what was going on, or that Logan and I had been struggling, but they were there just when we needed them; to listen, to talk, to just be there.
When you are juggling everything on your own it can be hard to fit in things like a girl’s night out, but it is important to do it anyways. Give your friends the chance to be there for you. If nothing else laughing with them will give you that little extra boost to make it through the week.
I am so thankful that I have such an amazing group of friends that I can count on to be there for me. They are constantly lifting me up and reminding me of my worth as a mother. They are an amazing support to me, without even knowing it. What a blessing it is to know that whenever I need a little lift I have a great group of girls to do it for me!
