The Great Dane

May 20, 2008

He had to knock down my door. Well, not literally, but thanks to a visit from Thomas, my friend from Denmark, this single mom was “forced” to spend five days straight with a man. And imagine, being a single man, visiting a long lost friend from college who now has a two year old. Most [...]

Man up fellas…why? Because you’re the man, damn it.

April 2, 2008

I didn’t say it … this blogging bachelor did. And I 100% agree with him. Men do need to “man” up. In his post titled, “What Men SHOULD Think.” He says: Men, get your act together before you go pursuing a long-term relationship or marriage. Don’t tell me that you have to be with this [...]

A few things to get off my chest…

March 21, 2008

Benjamin is teething. He’s been feverish and super fussy for five days straight now. I think I’m going to lose my mind. In these moments I do have secret husband fantasies:

“Hey, honey could you watch our extremely needy child right now so I can just sit down for three minutes?”

“Sure, sweetie…actually why don’t you go get a hair cut and a manicure – it has been four months now.”

When you’re a dating single mom it’s hard to get a night out with your boyfriend. But it means we appreciate these nights out more than single, childless women would! And as for the men who are dating a single mom, they really are amazing.

How to Date a Single Mom, Part 2

February 21, 2008

My entry on How to Date a Single Mom (for the guys) has been one of the most popular entries on this blog. I wrote it for one reason…to help the men who have truly fallen for one of us. And then this adorable comment came in the other day. Do you have any advice for a man who has fallen in love with a single mom? What can he do to earn her trust? Should he leave flowers on her doorstep? No, because then the kids would see it. Maybe a letter in the mailbox?

Something amazing happened.

November 21, 2007

Benjamin woke up last night…at 3:30 a.m. and wouldn’t go back down. Wide awake with a little cough, I decide to take him downstairs to mommy’s bed. Kris was staying over. It’s been five weeks now and this would be his first experience with a fussy baby in the dead of night. Benjamin was lying on my belly, breathing deeply and coughing. “What’s up deep breather?” Kris says.

Just when I thought I was safe…

November 5, 2007

Six weeks ago I had reached a point of complete contentment with being single. Over the past year and a half I have been looking, searching for someone. There was a pattern. I liked a guy. We hit it off. I scared him off. My friends told me, “You’re calling him too much.” “What? I have [...]

Being a Single Mom With a Glass Half Full

October 12, 2007

After the last potential prince turned into a frog, I looked at my best friend and said, “I just really want a nice boyfriend.” She said, “I know, but it’s okay to be single a while.” Then it hit me – wait a minute – why do I want a boyfriend so badly? They’re usually a pain in the ass for one reason or another and in the past, pre-baby days, I used to relish being single.
