the story of a single mom overcoming life
OK ladies and gents… Can we talk about how important it is to raise our daughters with a decent self-image and how hard it is?! For one thing, every time they turn on the TV what kind of role-models are they seeing? Real everyday women, working real jobs in everyday life? Not quite… instead they […]
Sorry guys, this post wont be as dramatic as the last, or cause a ruckus. That last post was by far the most viewed post ever. People like drama I suppose… No, this post, blurb, is about just me. Me, overcoming my biggest obstacle…. myself. In the midst of the chaos that has been my […]
Being a mom and having to share my kids is not something I want to do and I don’t think it’s something most moms want to do either. As I lay here tonight it makes my heart so sad to know they are not in their rooms tucked away. That my little beautiful monster # […]
Earlier this week I came home to cold tots for dinner, as I usually do at least once a week. Who doesn’t love tater tots? Cold ones though? Most moms are used to eating what would normally be warm but isn’t anymore, cold food. Its usually a sign that they made sure everyone else was […]
I’m a firm believer in the saying that God never gives us something we can’t handle….so on morning like today I must remind myself that. Mornings where number 3 is crying, and I mean full on mental break down, throwing-herself-on-the-floor crying, over the fact that she felt she didn’t have enough tooth paste on her […]
“Yep, they are all mine” If you are a mother of three kids or more, you get this (probably a lot). The stuff that people say to me when I’m out and about with my girls tends to drive me nuts, the looks I get don’t make things any better either. When my ex would […]
I don’t know one mom who hasn’t felt like a momster (mom+monster = momster) at some point. And if I had to guess those moms have probably felt like that more than once. It’s those crazy moments when two out of my three kids are fighting over which My Little Pony is theirs (there […]
Over the last several years it has seemed to me that all I have done is fail at everything. Working at a job I haven’t always enjoyed (and then loosing it). My marriage. Having money troubles. Not having all the the things I feel like I should have at this point in my life. (I wanted a […]
Sometimes in life we experience a change. A change so big that your life from that point forward consists of life before and a new, life after. Divorce/separation is like that. My life has been series of weird changes for my girls and I. The holidays have proved to be no exception to this. I […]
What is love? This is one of those classic questions to which there seems to be infinite answers for. I have one of my own: Love is putting someone else’s needs above your own. It’s simple really. It all comes down to being completely selfless. When you love someone you do things you don’t necessarily […]
