Bear at his first round 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 sweet – let’s just say he’s a nice fit. Not that there aren’t trying moments.

I have been struggling with the blog. What do I write about now? I’m not really single anymore…but i still do have single parenting issues. Getting to know someone and having them enter your child’s life as well as your own, is definitely a single parenting issue! I never thought it could be so tough. I think the longer you are single the harder it is.

It’s hard to allow someone to enter my parenting life, when me and my kid have been the dynamic duo for so long. There have been moments on my end when I wanna say “Hey, he’s mine. You have no business telling me what to do with him.” Taking a moment is necessary at times. I have to think about what is best for my son and I know that my boyfriend has our best interests at heart. He doesn’t always win, but his opinion is always considered and respected. Someday he may own as much stock in this three-way relationship as I do. For now, I’m still the big cheese….I think.

The endless horizon...

There were many times that I felt I would never find someone that would work – someone that would fit and embrace my son as their own. Funny thing is, he has been there since Bear was just under a year old, but I wasn’t ready. I could kick myself for not dating him then, but I guess timing is everything. Maybe I wouldn’t have embraced him the way I do now.

After all I’ve been through since my pregnancy and the five years up to now, I’m glad I opened up my heart again.
