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. (more…)

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 [...]

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 [...]

Top 5 Single Mom Movies

1. E.T.
How long has it been since you’ve seen E.T.? It had been years for me. I completely forgot that Elliott’s mother is a single mom. Do you remember the scene in the kitchen with Elliott says “Dad would believe me.” Wow.
And Benjamin LOVES this movie. There are flying bikes, the moon, frogs, toys, an [...]

This shit ain’t easy (a bedtime story).

Today sucked. Everything caught up with me.

Working full-time, being a mom, trying to date - mix all of that with a good dose of self-doubt and you’ve got the ingredients for one grumpy mama. I’m also dead tired.
Last night Benjamin kissed me good night and prounced off to my bedroom, jumped into my bed [...]

Lance and Kate Split!

So much for our hot Hollywood single parent couple. Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong broke up. Sad. They were together for 3 months. Here’s an excerpt from the article in US Magazine:
“There was no drama or ugliness – They just decided to end things,” a source close to the couple tells Us. “There is no [...]

Pulling teeth, my nerves, and the Dane.

Benjamin will probably lose his second front tooth tomorrow.
I’ll have to watch them strap him down, gas him and then pull. All of this after they stick a needle into his gums. And I’ll have to do it alone…again. The first time they replaced his cracked tooth with a cap, the second time they pulled [...]

The man in the kitchen.

My ex-husband has a little problem. He won’t let his girlfriend’s 7-year-old son call him Dad. As a result, our son, who he has for just 36 hours a week is now calling him by his first name too. He’s mimicking his psuedo step-brother. So what’s a jerky ex-husband to do?
“Why don’t you just let him [...]

Must Love Kids: Tracy Paye Interview

I still haven’t seen the new Must Love Kids show on TLC … my neighbor is recording it for me, so this weekend I’ll catch it. Just had to pass this interview on in the meantime. Tracy Paye is fantastic.

So what do you think about the forthcoming controversy Tracy expects as a fall out for [...]

Single moms are on fire.

Single moms are hot, hot, hot.
Yep. We are trendy. It’s official.
This fact was pointed out to me in my first piece of hate mail from a YouTube viewer, one of nearly 500 who have already watched Morgan and I’s “Dating & Single Moms” video. With so many views, and there will be more, the crazies [...]
