Single moms

Today I had such bad cramps that I threw up four times before I could even have breakfast. Walking around doubled over (why "doubled", i wonder) I asked Ig to change the baby's diaper and dress her. And I thought, damn, single moms have to do these things regardless of how sick or in pain they are...

Single motherhood is definitely not something humans are meant to go through--there should be co-ops where single moms from all backgrounds can move to during the first three years of their children's lives... in every city in the world where family networks are not already co-op like...  then those days when they just can't, there's another person there who can help...

anyway. that's my great idea for today.
