New to YouTube

On January 5, 2012

I just advanced to the world of YouTube.  I was nervous and you can hear it in my voice.  I’m a better writer than I am a speaker and after attempting to record 5 times without writing out what I wanted to say I gave up and took the time to write it out.  And [...]

Moving furniture – oh my aching body

On December 8, 2011

The hardest part of being single is having to move furniture by yourself. The past two days have been spent moving furniture around from room to room. I moved all of my office stuff to upstairs. Moved my daughter out of my room into her own room displacing my son to the living room.

Last Will and Testament and the Single Parent

On October 13, 2011

If you are a single parent who gets along well with your ex then you are a part of a rare elite group. I don’t know if there are any studies or statistics on this matter and then again it sometimes depends on when you ask someone – the next day they may feel differently [...]

On October 12, 2011

Every heard the phrase, watch what you wish for? Hate is a very strong word – to say I hate my ex is extreme especially when in the same breath I am often heard saying that I love him and care about it but I really do hate at least the things he has done [...]

On October 3, 2011

McDonald’s Playland – Blessing or Curse

On September 29, 2011

As a work from home single parent I have found McDonald’s play area to be both a blessing and a curse.  My daughter is full of energy when I pick her up from her morning pre-k class and if I just take her home there is no getting anything done because she demands constant attention, [...]

Life as a single parent – a must read for anyone who knows a single parent

On January 16, 2011

Life as a single parent is many things but it is definitely not boring. Life as a single parent is joyful, creative, challenging, loving, and sometimes lonely. I like to compare my life to a roller coaster – it has its ups and its downs and around every corner it brings something new so my [...]

I hate snow!

On January 10, 2011

I hate snow. Yes, I’m one of those people. I just cannot find anything endearing about snow. I guess when you’re a child snow is awesome. You get to miss school and go out and roll around in it and build snowmen then hopefully mom is waiting with a warm cup of hot chocolate and [...]

Speeding in case of emergency

On January 8, 2011

As a mother of 5 I am offended at the idea that John Coughlin of New Hampshire thinks he shouldn’t get a speeding ticket after being clocked at 100 mph while driving his wife to the hospital. Although she delivered just minutes after arriving at the hospital he risked hundreds of lives including those of [...]

Another Year Gone

On January 1, 2011

As I sit here alone on another New Year’s Eve I realize that I have a problem. The problem is that I never finish anything I start. Sound familiar? If you’re anything like me it will – I think I have ADD.  Oh, and once again I am bringing in another new year alone…. bummer [...]
