how single moms really spend their free time
Another Wild Saturday Night
Nov 22nd
One of the best things about being a single mom, whose awesome, incredible amazing babies daddy has the kids half the week, every single week?….I get to eat frosted flakes for dinner while I watch VH1s Tough Love (which, instead of rolling my eyes and yelling “whatever!,” I should probably pay a little closer attention to because I am genuinely excited about a bowl of cereal for dinner on a Saturday night).
One of the worst things about being the only adult in the house?….When I discover the empty gallon of milk in the fridge, after I have already filled a serving bowl with half a box of frosted flakes, I have to admit that I might have been the one who put it there. On top of that, there is no one here to convince that they are the thoughtless, irresponsible one who better go to the store and get me a gallon of milk!
At least I remembered to hide the oatmeal creme pies from the kids this week.
Saturday Night Fever
Nov 1st
I am completely exhausted. I feel like this is the first time in the last two weeks that I have not been running around like a chicken with my head cut off.
One thing I know I need to avoid committal is a full eight hours of sleep. But I’m pushing my luck and staying awake as long as I possibly can. All I can think about is the chaos that the holiday season will bring and I just don’t want to waste a minute of what might be the last opportunity I get this year to do whatever I want.
I’ve got big plans for the few short hours I have left before picking the kids up from their dad’s house.
Crap! The cat just threw up on the remote. I guess I’ll go to bed.
