For entirely different reasons, but they both have bugs. Mr. Man has the love bug, which I think I’ve caught as well. Definitely contagious in some cases. Benjamin has [...]

The grocery store.
Forget the skyrocketing grocery prices that make me clench my jaw and actually tighten my grip on the shopping cart handle- the grocery store is my enemy anyway. It’s the ultimate test of my will and my skills as a single mother. It’s such an odd place too. All of these people, [...]

Benjamin and I went to a dude ranch this weekend.
We started out together.

Then Benjamin demanded to ride by himself. He won over the ranch hand with his powerful persuasion tactics and took the reins.

And here he is, fleeing from me… knowing I was about to haul his butt into the car to head back to [...]

Benjamin is racing in a Trik-a-Thon tomorrow.
The day care just told me about it today, otherwise I would have taken the afternoon off to cheer him on. Maybe I should anyway. Benjamin is a world-class tricycle rider by the way. We ditched the stroller months ago. Now it’s a bike ride to the coffee shop [...]

I think an intervention may be in order, either that or an exorcism.

Benjamin has been possessed by Thomas the Train. Or maybe he’s sold his soul to Sir Topham Hat. Regardless, I don’t see much of him anymore.
If he does come downstairs it’s to ask me if he can watch, “Mickey’s Crack House.”

My pregnancy, minus the 80 pounds I’d gained, was perfect.
I loved the [...]

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 every inch [...]

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… [...]

Funny how little I care after seeing him in that much pain. Glad it’s gone. Sayonara dead tooth. Too bad though. Especially after all of the hard work Benjamin put into getting them in the first place… here is teething at 5-months…
