Seeing things

July 27, 2009

As I’m putting the final touches on Ms. Single Mama Uncensored I’m finding that in nearly every thought and in every piece there is even more I want to write. But at some point I have to stop, right? I guess I don’t want to stop though… so expect a Part II or an expanded [...]

Smooth Operator

June 28, 2009

While the rest of the world continues to spin, with all of its good news and bad, there is one little universe that remains unchanged. The universe of Benjamin, where he must – by now – have realized that he’s kind of cute. He’s also learning how to play the adults in his life like [...]

Pillow Talk

June 24, 2009

do you want more kids? I started this discussion in the single moms forum the other day and the responses are really passionate. Leave a comment there or here.

And let me know what you think about the idea of me – having twins. I mean what do you do if the love of your life happens to have a twin gene, a fricking twin gene. Just my luck, right? Oh me, oh my.

Unexpected reality

May 27, 2009

A few weeks ago, or was it months? my ex offered, or did I ask? to take Benjamin two nights a week instead of one. For several weeks he upheld his new commitment, enjoying every extra moment with his son until on week four he told me he was tired. I understood. It’s hard. This [...]

Thanks

May 26, 2009

I announced last week that I’m leaving my day job to become a full-time blogger/freelancer.  I also announced the sale of our  new leaf necklace.  There are only 40 left.  I will be ordering another round so don’t worry about them running out. And I’ll also try to make them in silver. Ideally I’d like to, [...]

So there’s this dog…

May 23, 2009

Meet Murphy. Or Murph, the slobbery yet totally cute wonder pup who can tackle me in one pounce. He belongs to the Bear. Meet Benjamin. He belongs to me (for now).

Over the Edge

May 21, 2009

Ever felt like you just want to dive off a mountain top? No? I hadn’t either.  That was until I spent three days straight with Nolan and Benjamin, two adorable three-year-olds who, when together, can’t stop beating on each other. Like a cosmic formula Kristin and I’s sons had it out for each other during [...]

The wow factor.

April 26, 2009

There are few material things that ever really wow me.  Here are two. Benjamin’s new “water boots”. For the first time in three years Benjamin’s father bought him a pair of shoes. He had no way of knowing this but I’ve been trying to find a cool pair of puddle stomping boots for months. But [...]

Missing

April 15, 2009

One more night.  I am missing my three-year-old Benjamin but after sorting through old pictures all morning (I do that when he’s gone), I’m really missing this little guy.  What will I do with two nights a week? I definitely need the “me” time but this will take some adjusting.  Benjamin and I have been [...]

My Dream Boy

March 24, 2009

Last fall before I rushed out the door to meet Cabin Man… I wrote a post reflecting on Benjamin’s birth. In it I mentioned a vision of his face I’d had while pregnant: The dreams intensified in the last few months of my pregnancy and once, in a night dream, I saw his face. He [...]
