Single Supermama

because seriously, what the hell will I do if I can’t laugh about it?

nuthin huney

I have a lot of posts floating around in my head, including some things I'd like to say in follow up to my last post about social media relationships. But I'm having a hard time focusing on anything except this recent post from Jim / Depot Dad. So I guess it ...

relationships and social media

I've always known that blogging - and now facebook and twitter - would affect my friendships. But as it's turned out, it's gone even deeper than I ever anticipated. At first, my acquaintances who were followers of my blog would be a little bit weirded out if they bumped into me ...

friends and saints

Sometimes what a girl really needs is a long chatty walk with a great friend. And if it ends with that friend helping with your dishes, floors and laundry - Then that friend should probably be sainted. xoxo

me as social media geek

Recently, I took a bit of a hiatus from making regular blog postings and from following the group of other friends and single parent blogs I enjoy reading and commenting on. I'd plunged myself smack into the real world of dating, and I didn't have time to keep up with ...

social life

Do you people with jobs and/or kids have social lives? If so, HOW? And WHEN?

i love you guys

OK everybody I have something really important to tell you. I LOVE YOU GUYS.So I'm a big freak, we've established that. And I publish it on the internet. Why? I don't really know. But coffee guy (or any guy for that matter) aside... I am feeling really, really grateful to ...

on being the third wheel

I am totally blessed with amazing friends. I have friends who are really understanding about my life as a single parent, and who are patient with me when I'm falling apart, and who invite us out and about even though we're not a convenient family unit. 99% of my friends ...

music for my soul

These are some of my favorite songs for my soul, in honor of my less-than-ideal week and the lovely Stephanie. Some songs get lost when published to iMixes (the ones that aren't available for purchase on iTunes) - in this case, "So It Goes" by Wes Cunningham, "Let's Stay Together" ...

80’s prom

When Mrs. Flinger told me that she was going to an 80's Prom, I begged her to let me come along. And then I promptly called my friend Brian, with whom I went to all of my real 80's dances with (like, in the actual 1980's), and made him promise ...

someday

Someday I am going to have endless patience with my kids, I'll enjoy their company and not feel so short-tempered with them. I am going to be thoughtful and organized. I will remember birthdays for my friends and family (on time). I won't be stinking rich, but I won't work ...

bedtime stories

For several months now, Clara has sat on the couch every night for her bedtime story - smushed directly between Kelley and mommy. But even though she's made sure that Kelley is sitting in his correct spot next to her and that he's positioned properly for cuddling, she has strictly ...

Well, we've survived half of the holidays so far with four kids between us who have different parentage on either side (his 2 grown-up kids have different moms, mine have different dads) - plus our 3 different sets of parents. Plus mine celebrate 2 religions. Thanksgivings. Check. Hanukkah. Check. Christmases still to come...

thankful

I am so thankful I can hardly bear it. I'm thankful for my beautiful girls who I love more than I ever knew I was capable of. I'm thankful for a family unique and different - full of steps and halfs and ex'es and inlaws and outlaws that just feels like plain ...

tight quarters

I have a full size bed. Which is slightly (and I do mean slightly) larger than a twin bed. For the past couple of years, there have been many mornings when all three of us girls have woken up in my bed together - Joy and I on either edge, and ...
