To stay single or not....that is the question.

 My title is not a fair statement. My kids are amazing. My son loves his mama and always looks out for me. My daughter is my mini me, has a huge heart and is probably one the the funniest people you've ever met. Unfortunately though, as they get older, the take on more and more of my sarcasm. Most men can't understand our relationship and they definitely don't understand our sense of humor. Maybe some of you will get it at least. Or, maybe I will lose some followers because we are definitely a little different.  Since my divorce I have dated here and there and had a few somewhat long relationships. The longest being 4 years, then 2 years, then 1 and then well yeah they just get shorter and shorter. I choose to believe it is because I am finally getting pickier and tolerating less. It could be because when I introduce a guy to my son he immediately says "hey new stepdad" or "which one is this again" or "what are you buying me for Christmas?" Yea...

 WARNING!! Inspirational post alert! "You're too independent." "I need someone that is more available and wants to come to my house every night." "You are wifey material and I'm just looking for someone to have fun with every now and then." "Maybe if you were more or a bitch and not so nice it would be better." These are actual things guys tell me when they stop talking to me. I can't help who I am and that I have tried so hard to be what my mother wasn't. Don't worry, I don't plan on changing for any man. Even the super hot ones. Ok, I may play pretend for them a little bit.  I grew up in a house that sometimes the plumbing didn't work. Maybe because it was just a pipe that went to the backyard. Just a small ac window unit and a small gas heater in the front and back of the house was all we had to stay warm or cool. We often all piled up in the living room and slept on a mattress on cold winter nights. My mother was a...

I have been single several years with the exception of a few short lived, failed "relationships". I pretty much just put my focus on work and being a good mom. If my children are reading this please agree and I will transfer the funds today I swear. With that being said I figured I would take you all back to a few years ago when my friend Tiffany thought it would be a good idea for me to join the online dating world and swore that there are good guys still out there. It should be noted that she did find someone through an app and they are still together and have been living happily since their first meetup. Here is my first encounter... When I finally, after taking several selfies and scrolling through my phone, chose the few pics that I thought made me look the best and of course showed off that I am slim and am not catfishing anyone. Apparently, that is a major thing nowadays and no one looks like their pics in real life. With me, you get what you see. No filters, no only f...

 So, this is my first blog. I used to write when I was younger and have been needing a little something to relieve some stress lately. Therefore, my best friend suggested a hobby. Well, what do I like to do? Hmmmmm.....I like to work. However, this is supposed to be my break from that. So we came up with the idea that I could blog. It tricks my brain into thinking I am working because I am still on my laptop. And, I can only hope that I can give my audience a good laugh about some of the random things that happen in my crazy world of a workaholic, single mom.  I don't really take vacations so I talked myself into visiting my brother and sister - in - law in Chicago for a few days. Don't tell him but I have secretly been answering work emails. Right now, since he is a teacher, he's on a zoom meeting with a student, I figured what better time than to start my new hobby.  Ok, I picked a blog site. And I am trying to figure out a theme and how to use this site. Wait, he's o...
