Just the beginning!


OK, I decided to start this blog because I've been largely unsuccessful in finding women in the same predicament I'm in, willing to write and share their daily drama. Hence, this blog is my effort to serve as some sort of sounding board for all the frustrated women who can identify with my story...... Let me start by saying that I'm a 37 year old single woman with 2 children. A son, 19 and a daughter, 4. I consider myself a young 37. I'm in pretty good shape, a cougar, if you will.....LOL. I'm treading water in the dating pool right now. And if I'm being brutally honest.....It SUCKS!!!!!! This will undoubtedly be a topic that I touch on quite often. I work full time in a thankless job for barely any money. Which in itself should ensure that plenty of women will be able to relate. I spend many a sleepless night tallying bills in my head and paying them from my imaginary checking account because the truth be told there is no way possible to pay all of them from my actual checking account. Money or lack there of, is a constant source of anxiety for me. And although, I have a wonderful family and great friends that provide me with a strong emotional support system. It doesn't soften the blow of getting a call from the bank to let me know that I'm overdrawn.....again.
My blog will be a runnning commentary on the pratfalls and triumphs of a single mother who has been blessed with much but who has also had her share of uphill battles in her journey to live a semi-fantastical life. Welcome to my world ladies.........it's a doozy!!

I too suffer those sleepless, anxiety-induced nights...bills, bills, bills....where's the money!!!! I thought I was the only one who suffered from "lack of money" anxiety!!! This is wonderful and I'm glad to have this place to come to. Sharing with all the single moms I know!!! Luv ya ladybug!!

  3. Great idea. I too have the same problems. Motherhood is a joy that I wouldn't trade for all the riches in the world. I just wish I had some riches to go along with it:-) I will definitely follow. Keep it going.
