Round ‘em up!

It’s been a bit over four months now since Wranglers came into my life and my son’s life. Things are good. There are moments that I thank god for bringing him into our lives. I have been fortunate to find a man who wants to be a father to my son. Without getting too syrupy [...]

Cows and Boys

I haven’t posted for awhile. Maybe cause I haven’t been real sure on what the heck is going on in my life.
Dating and single motherhood has been interesting. Wranglers isn’t the first man I’ve dated, but dating someone local is an entirely different experience. Maybe I haven’t posted because I’m not sure if I’m a [...]

Meet The Parents

Oh god. I haven’t had to do this “meet the parents” thing for over 10 years. It’s sorta nerve wracking. What do I wear?
So far, Wranglers has been great to Bear. Bear seems to like him. This is all happening pretty fast. Need to give it time.
Bear still sleeps with me. Did I tell anyone [...]

Wrangler Butts and Baked Alaska

Not only was my blog hacked, but my recent absence was also caused by a particular distraction.
My life has took an unexpected turn and I’m terribly distracted and somewhat excited (okay, alot excited). I met a man. Yanno what else? I like him….alot….. and he seems to be pretty crazy about me too….(he appears to [...]

Breaking News! Mom Bawls At Babysitters!

…but I’m okay now, well, sort of.

Bear and I went on a short three day vacation to my sisters house.  My sis took off on a business trip to Vegas and she happens to live near the beach.  So, snatching up my dear sister’s offer of a free room, I packed our bags and hopped [...]

Julie and Julia and Gristly Blogs

Since my last blog entry, I have had a minor (or a major) single mommy meltdown, depending on who you talk to. Several reasons for it. None of which I’ll go into at the moment, but giving up the blog was an option. So was giving up college (for now).
Okay, having an online [...]

Finally,Without Further Ado-The Dad Word

It was inevitable. I have been dreading the day since Bear was an infant and how it would go. Finally, without further ado, the “dad” word came up.

Punch and Playdoh

Well…five minutes after my last blog post I was text messaged from the baby shower I was ditching out on.
“Are you gonna make it?” my friend asked. Argh. They miss me! I have to go! So, I message her back that I am indeed coming, but am running a little late.
“Bring alcohol” she texts [...]

Single Mom Nirvana

I should be going to a baby shower. I bought the gift. Dropped my son off with my dad and here I sit. I don’t wanna go.
It’s so nice and pleasant and quiet in my house. I am so relaxed. I cherish these peaceful quiet moments. They are sparse, too few, and I am reminded [...]
