Parenting is hard enough.  But trying to do it alone is even harder.  Especially having to start rom scratch.  I was only supposed to be here for a week to dogsit for someone.  Then I got the phone call saying, just stay there.  I don't want you to come back.  Stay here? With a week's worth of clothes for myself and my daughter?  With a baby due in less than a month?  Where am I supposed to get money?  What about the stuff the baby needs?  What am I supposed to tell the people I'm dogsitting for when they come back?  Why is it so hard starting over with nothing?  I'm doing everything I can to take care of myself, my daughter, and now my brand new 21/2 week old son, and yet I still feel like I'm a horrible mother.  Is there any way to reassure myself?  To make that feeling go away?  What have I done to cause my baies to have to go through this?  Why do I feel like it's my fault?
