Just have to take the plunge and settle down. Man or no man. And that's so cool your daughter and I have the same name and nearly the same b-day. Very nice. You've probably got a fire cracker on your hands... : ) Dad's House - tks! I know ... it was a giftless birthday (well, one sweet thing from Kris) but nothing...however, Benjamin's dad came up today and brought me some Lilies. So that was nice!

Dad’s House – tks! I know … it was a giftless birthday (well, one sweet thing from Kris) but nothing…however, Benjamin’s dad came up today and brought me some Lilies. So that was nice!

You're an Aries... like my kids. The part that hit home (no pun intended) for me with your post was the part about there not being an adult partner to make sure you got a present. My kids are great, but they aren't the best shoppers, and my ex sometimes doesn't help them make sure my birthday or father's day is covered. It's a drag. I turned 40 without a blip on the social radar... Good luck on the house hunting! Happy Birthday! You’re an Aries… like my kids.

Buy a house! Buy a house! If a single parent can own something that is theirs and provides stability and security for them and their children than Go On With Your Bad Self! I can't tell you the pride I get from knowing I am a home owner all on my own, all by myself, and that is sure something to feel proud about! So buy one for you and the boy! Y'all deserve to have a house a home a place that is yours! Buy a house! Buy a house! Buy a house!

You should totally buy a house. I have one, and I'm SO glad I do. It makes me feel good that Son has a house to live in. The ex made me try to convince me I needed to move to an apt to save money, but I'm not gonna. I figured it out, and the money I'd save, if any, would be negligible, at best. Happy birthday!

I filed for divorce 2 years ago at the end of June! My divorce was contentious and took quite a bit longer to finalize. We are on the very same time line.

Looking through my old pictures to find one for this post got me all teary eyed...and smiling at the same time. Odd. And yes, I definitely have my moments. Sparkling Mama - It's been one year since my divorce was finalized but it will be two years in July since actually leaving him. So we're on the same schedule! You'll find your way...soon enough now and spring is here ... so that's even better! Liz…ahhh yes, the pictures.

The dream of buying a house is one of the many dreams that went out the window as result of my divorce. It's awesome that you are in a position where you can buy a house! I think it's amazing that it only took you a year to get to where you are now. Its been nearly 2 years since I split with my ex and I feel like I am still trying to find my way. Happy Birthday!

Great post...I love that you are so upbeat and positive but I appreciate the reminder that like all us other single moms, you have your moments, too! I am in the middle of doing a shutterfly photobook of 2007 -- the year of the divorce. It's been painful to face some of the moments again...but getting through that year is what got us to where we are now. Thanks for sharing your moments with all of us! Happy Birthday!!!! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
