Flip. Flop. Flip.

September 17, 2008

You’re not going to believe this… When my ex picked Benjamin up this morning, I told him again how attached Benjamin has been to him lately, asking about him all of the time. I do this because I want him to know how much he is needed and loved. For some reason, I think it [...]

Are your still obsessed with your ex?

Cabin Fever…

September 15, 2008

The power is out. Hurricane Ike’s left over winds ripped through Ohio this weekend and knocked down power lines all over the place. They’re not sure when it will come back on but my office is closed and so is Benjamin’s day care. I’ve managed to pirate a signal and some time (thanks to Thomas [...]

If you follow me on Twitter you may have noticed my choice of the book store over the library, “Going to Barnes and Noble… books, trains AND cute men… ” The Twitter fairies went [...]

When is daddy going to bail?

September 10, 2008

It’s only a matter of time… (Part 2 of my single mom fairy tale and my date last night will have to wait. You’ll understand why I hope, that I can’t think about anything else right now because tonight Benjamin’s father told me he is going to move away.) There is something I know with [...]

The muddy single mom, a fairy tale.

September 8, 2008

Benjamin’s best friend, Sydney, came over to play last night. Her mother Mia and I have been best friends since kindergarten. And now we live 100 feet away from each other. Call it fate, call it destiny – whatever it is – but seeing our children play together like we did, not so long ago… [...]

Doggy, Doggy!!! Or not…

September 6, 2008

This afternoon Benjamin and I had just finished a major parent child scuffle over him refusing to clean up the legos he had just dumped on the floor. I lost it. He lost it. Not pretty people. But it happens. Then in my moment of pure pissed-off parental despair I opened the kitchen door and [...]

Cancer SUCKS.

September 5, 2008

Jim Everson, known to many of you as Depot Dad, just found out that he has a severe form of skin cancer. We’re still waiting to find out just how severe… but it’s looking, well, very scary. I haven’t even called him yet because I know I would just burst into tears. I hate cancer. [...]
