My son has been nicknamed “Destructivo.”

Destructivo destroys clean rooms in a matter of seconds. There is nothing that can stop him. Except for Super Mommy. But Super Mommy can only keep her eyes on him for so long because she’s also a single mommy. With only one parent in the house Destructivo has been enjoying a long rein of ruling his domain.

He charms Super Mommy with his sweet, sweet smile until she hands over the entire bag of Goldfish crackers. She sits next to him, using her Super Mommy powers to instruct him on how to properly eat out of a Goldfish cracker bag. But to no avail. In less than a nano-second Goldfish crackers are flying all over the room. Destructivo strikes again.

At the moment Super Mommy is typing amidst piles of books, scattered toys and food chunks she can’t bear to clean up again. This would be the third living room sweep today and it’s only 1:00 pm. So she’s taking a nap.

I love my adorable toddler and I love my adorable boyfriend…oh, and I love my amazing job. I love them all so much I just don’t want to sleep as much as I should. Life is too good but my life is also incredibly tiring. What’s a single mom to do? Say no to the boyfriend. Nope. That’s not going to happen. After all good lovin’ is one of my favorite things in life. Can’t pass that up.

How about the toddler – could tell him to chill out with a good book so mommy can take a nap. Nope. And the job – well, can’t quit that. Does anyone have any energy tips? I feel like I’ve been tired forever. Doesn’t help that my son is now waking up at 6:00 a.m. instead of 7:00 a.m. Hmmm….any suggestions? I don’t like energy drinks and like most other single, working moms working out is not an option. I have cut back on my cleaning. Letting that go has been easy…the place is still nice and orderly but I used to clean, really clean, every single night. Now I’m way behind.

I’ve got to go clean…sorry for another short, short entry. I think the above explains why. Please feel free to browse my site for more in depth blog entries that may keep you entertained until this single mama catches up on her sleep. Which won’t be tonight because – yep – boyfriend is coming over.
