I’m Moving!!!

I’m moving my website to MsSingleMama.com
The new site isn’t quite finished yet. So you’ll see some tweaking over the next few days. The work is largely behind the scenes. Moving a WordPress blog over is not easy. And this has been a really difficult decision becuase – IT’S NOT EASY. Did I already say that? [...]

Chaos and Calm

The weather has cooled off.
Fall is just around the corner. Just like that, another summer… gone. Next week I’ll be frantically packing for Denmark – planning out every outfit. I’m a dork like that. And yes, I am SUCH a girl. Hate traveling without bringing all of the necessities, but I’m also a light packer. [...]

Single Mom S.O.S.: Should I leave my ex alone with my son?

I get a lot of e-mails. Some are encouraging, others are from admirers (too funny), some are hateful and then there are the e-mails too urgent to ignore – the e-mails I can’t answer solo. So, with their permission, I pose the question to you – my readers – in hopes that you can offer [...]

Beam me up, Scottie: To Denmark Please!

Two weeks from today – I’ll be here.

With this guy…

And now it’s starting to set in.
I haven’t let myself think about it. I try not to get excited about things. Instead, I stay cool, calm … and then just a few days before it happens – I freak out.

A new smile.

Funny how little I care after seeing him in that much pain. Glad it’s gone. Sayonara dead tooth. Too bad though. Especially after all of the hard work Benjamin put into getting them in the first place… here is teething at 5-months…

The Best of the Single Parent Blogosphere

Because we’re single parents and we don’t have time to read a million blogs every week I use this post to highlight my favorites and let you highlight yours … DON’T BE SHY. Shameless self-promotion is strongly encouraged.
This week’s personal favorites:
Incredulous Relief – Kristin (Better Now)
The relief? Because she’s alive. You’ll be biting your nails in fear [...]

Is his cab light on?

A friend of mine has fallen.
Totally and completely. Off the deep end. In love. And the man… he’s falling too. They’re both young. Their lives are together. Everything is ripe for – BIG BREATHLESS PAUSE – marriage. (Yes, I said that scary “M” word) One huge reason for this – both of their cab lights [...]

A bond no man can break. Sorry guys.

Last Thursday night Benjamin woke up screaming in pain.
I ran upstairs. His body was lurching forward and backward, legs kicking. Finally I calmed him down and said, “Is it your tooth, baby? Does your tooth hurt?”
“Yes, Mommy.”
“Okay. Listen. Tomorrow morning, first thing, we’ll go to the Sticker Doctor (the dentist) and he’ll take the tooth [...]

Life is short, get a divorce.

I’ve got nothing, so I’m giving you another fantastic link that’s sure to get your brain going or at the very least, entertain you for a second…
The reason for the link? Because I love you – and I want to make you smile. And I don’t have much time to write tonight.
Spent today cleaning and [...]

Single Mom Reflex #1: Take care of each other

In the dating pool, single moms have a lot of reflexes – jerk radar is one of them.
But what happens when a single mom gets fooled? When her jerk radar fails her? It’s happened to all of us – and it’s THE WORST. You feel used, you feel like you wasted your time, you feel [...]
