Just a little over 24 hours left to bring out your fears to win a $200 flat iron!

I don’t know how I’m going to pick a winner. If you haven’t read the entries, get busy. Some will make you cry, others will make you laugh. All in all, I’d say it’s been a good week for bringing out the fears.

And because we’re all clearly afraid of death I had to post this video, Monty Python and the Holy Grail – quite possibly one of the greatest movies of all time.

You know when I wish I had a man the most? Every time I pick up a newspaper.

Because …

It might be nice to have a man around to do the heavy lifting, the fighting or the hunting when shit hits the fan. Seriously. I’m scared.

Most of us single moms aren’t rolling in money and when gas prices go up to $4.00 a gallon – it hurts. Not even to mention the price of groceries, housing and health care. I just worry about it, that’s all. Forget the face on this magazine cover – it could be any one of their faces – they’ve all left us in this cluster.

I wish Kris wouldn’t have pet my cats so much. Because when my day as a single working mom is over, the last thing I want to do is:

Freak out when I read a newspaper

WHILE

Getting rubbed up on and meowed at by my now spoiled cats.

Sorry for the gloom and doom.

If you need a single mommy topic there’s a very hot one going on at iHeart. Yesterday I asked all of the members to vent about their ex spouses or partners. Check out “Single Mamas vs. Single Papas”! The discussion topic has 47 responses and counting. If you have any ex-issues, you’ll definitely relate.

BTW: There are quite a few very hot and very adorable single dads on iHeart now. So the world can’t be all that bad? Right?

Have a wicked sense of humor.

One week ago I told Prince Charming To Kiss My Ass. And three days later, the Blogger Gods dumped one on my doorstep. And then five days later, they took him away.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot. Nice way to torture a poor, lonely single mom. I wasn’t lonely before he got here, I was just fine – trucking along my merry little way. And then – poof – there was a man here, in my apartment, cooking, cleaning up, playing with Benjamin, letting me rest, making me laugh, annoying me (just a little) and then looking at me like I was a queen.

What in the hell was that? And how do I forget that it ever happened?

P.S.

I’m sure the said loneliness is just a temporary side effect of having a man suddenly thrust into my life. Should be back to normal soon. And I would write more, but I’m exhausted. But I will give this story the credit it’s due … soon. In the meantime, I’ll be pondering simple twists of fate and catching up on my sleep.

What happens when fate throws you for a loop? I usually just ride it out … and hang on tight, but I never let go of the steering wheel. Us single moms don’t have that luxury.
