His first and his last.

March 18, 2009

Because today was Benjamin’s first and his last third birthday and because I didn’t buy him a single present in Austin I spent my lunch break on a mission.

Austin

March 17, 2009

On Saturday morning I slipped away in the middle of the night to jump on another plane. This time Benjamin had to stay behind. I let him fall asleep in my bed so I could watch him drift while I packed. He spent his last few moments awake begging me to stay, “Mommy, take me [...]

My dream man.

March 15, 2009

Does he even exist? Well if I want him to… the first step is believing he does. This week I was interviewed for an article for a local magazine – apparently I’m one of the Top 10 Singles in my city. She asked me a series of questions you might fill out for an online [...]

March 13, 2009

I’ve alluded to the living room date on my blog before (I think). But it’s a must for dating single moms or, in this economy, just about everyone. When you add up evening baby sitters plus dinner and drinks dating can be very expensive. The alternative is a what I call the living room date [...]

Questions

March 11, 2009

Benjamin is catching on to the fact that there is no man in this house. And it’s hard. I didn’t think it would be so difficult to hear them: “Mommy, is Daddy working?” “Yes, baby, he’s working but he misses you.” and the new one… “Mommy, do you have a daddy?” “No. Not anymore.” “Where [...]

Evidence

March 9, 2009

Spring is almost here. Time for fresh starts, flowers, warm days, cool nights and even thunderstorms. Mother nature is brewing up a quite the romance cocktail. Not sure if I’ll be taking a few sips but I better prepare myself. Just to be safe I wrote myself a single mom dating to-do list.

Saved by the men.

March 7, 2009

One perk to not having a husband (there are a few) is having cute guy friends to call when you need help. Like my friend Justin. We met over one year ago in the park. He was there with his son, not his biological son though. Turns out he had fallen in love with a [...]

Breaking Single Mom Love News

March 4, 2009

Mommy Pie has fallen and so has her man. If you’ve been reading my blog for a while you’ll know that Mommy Pie is by far one of my favorite single mom bloggers. And even though she wasn’t looking at all, and even though she lives out in the middle of no where, she’s found [...]
