I love the Christmas comments. Actually just told my single mama friend to read the Gift of the Magi to her 5 year old this year. That's by far my favorite Christmas story. And to Nicole - yes! I couldn't have said it better myself. I am actually beginning a new relationship that is likely to become the most serious one yet and it is scary. I have my ups and downs and now he's here to witness them - very interesting. One thing that's important - the right one will do just that - witness them, listen and try to be there for you - not make your life any harder or try to take control. Well, at least my right one. Thanks again - when I get a second I'll check out all of your blogs! Thanks everyone for commenting. I love the Christmas comments.

Other times I realize that finding him would be just as hard as being single because it would mean relinquishing some control over my life and I'm just not prepared to do that quite yet.

Really good, because they are the experiences I want for them. I agree with your Dad and my children would too. Christmas is everyday, not just one day in December. Gifts are things that are given not purchased and there is nothing wrong with teaching your children that.

They get the bedroom and I get 45 hrs/week of reasonably priced childcare. Works out really well. i have an au pair and I enjoy having someone in the house who’s almost as involved in my children as I am.
