I love the way people come together when someone is in need
I'm not a single mom, but my husband is a firefighter and is often gone for days and nights at a time. Being alone has forced me to do a lot of my own, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I agree with the others who have suggested going to Home Depot or Lowe's and taking one of the "Fix it" classes they offer...you will be sending a great message to your little one about taking responsibility for your things and learning to adapt! And I imagine, once you realize the amazing things you are capable of, you will be a lot more confident in your efforts.
And never be afraid to ask for help. A lot of people don't mind showing you how to do something. I feel pretty special when my friends call ME and ask ME for advice on trapping animals, fixing leaks, or even killing big ugly bugs
Good luck! I know you can do it!
