I&#039;m two days overdue as I write this.  I can&#039;t wait to hold my son in my arms.  I will never regret choosing my baby over his dad.  He hasn&#039;t even been born yet he&#039;s changed my life for the better, unlike the loser who&#039;s his dad.  I would like to meet a nice man who pushes all the right buttons one day, but for now, I&#039;m happy to be sharing my life with my life partner.
Love your blog - it captured what I&#039;ve been through.  So good to know I&#039;m not alone.  xx</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In December 2008, I made a choice between a man and my soul mate.  My soul mate won.

As soon as you do &quot;own that&quot; feeling you may also find the men falling from the sky. (but by then you won&#039;t need them.... )
You&#039;ll see...
Everything will be just fine either way. It&#039;s your destiny... you choose your path.

isPermaLink="false">http://mssinglemama.com/?p=903#comment-5809</guid> <description>Ok, this one has finally brought me out of lurking.  I have been reading for quite some time.  This particular post ties into things I am really dealing with at the moment.  The good Lord blessed me with two beautiful daughters that are 8 &amp; 10 but no sons.  I have been on my own now for about a year and a half.  I have really been trying to work on myself and truly live the concept that no other person on this earth can be responsible for my happiness.  Another one of those things in life that is so much more easily said than done.  I think it is a daily re-affirmation.  I would love to have that very special person but I&#039;m beginning to think that the time for that is not right now.  I am grateful for the different men that I have had in my life,  There have only been a couple but I have learned from them and they have helped me immensly through different seasons in my life.  It&#039;s very hard to sit back and be patient.  Single parenting is so hard and this is never in a million years where I thought I would be.  That in itself is a whole other subject.
Anyway, now that I&#039;ve come out of lurking it&#039;s very nice to meet you. :)</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok, this one has finally brought me out of lurking.

Awww!  My heart just melted!  So sweet.
Glad to see the discussion going toward leaning on kids too much.  I can see how that would be easy to do and I&#039;ve seen people do it.  (Although nothing in this post made me think that of you Ms. SM.)  It&#039;s so important for us to be aware of this, as single parents, because we do get lonely.  I hope, by keeping that in mind, I will not do that to my child, no matter how easy it is.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“The sky. Tank you for the sky.”</p><p>Awww!
