I'm dying to know what you found out since january! as for overreacting...you are mom...if you don't advocate for your child, who will? My daughter had "colic"...i was not impressed with that diagnosis (especially since the definition of "colic" is…

Oh Kim.....no, honey, they come much earlier than that!! I have an 11 yr old boy, soon to be 12 in Sept and an 8.5 yr old...can't forget that 1/2....smile. John, the 11 yr old, is going to middle school next year. My worst nightmares coming to fruit…
Profile Information
- How many kiddo's do you have?
- 2
- Best thing about being a Single P...
- Watching them fall asleep at peace every night
- I'm here for:
- Friends, Networking
- What are your hobbies and interests?
- Karaoke, baby! I love to sing, and---as Clare can attest to---I can't dance to save my life! I love to spend time with my kiddos at that park, Children's Museum, movies, zoo, or kickin' it with the Wii at home. I'm a social butterfly and try not to be home too much. And I just might be addicted to iHeart. ;)
- About Me:
- I didn't plan to be this person.
You know, the person who really has to do it all. Cook. Clean. Provide. Shop. Lecture. Set boundaries. Discipline. Say no. Say yes. Get up in the middle of the night, EVERY time. Stay home with sniffles, and coughs, and rounds 2 and 3 of strep. I told a single mom friend 5 years ago I could never do it myself.
It's been three years, and guess what....I'm doing it. And I don't think I'd have it any other way, at this point....I AM this person.
Get to know me, I'm glad to share more of my/our story.

Take On Me
Seeing that it's all about the 80's, just had to use that as my opener!
So here's my deal. I've struggled with getting rid of the weight I just don't want anymore. But DANG, it's hard....! I was in really good shape before I got pregnant with my first (ergo mama getting pregnant, lol!!!) with a great workout regimen and healthy-ish eating habits. Well, my two kidlets came one after the other. Literally. They are practically … Continue

And the Beat Goes On
Well, I've been away for a while. Life takes its twists and turns, many of which have been good. My younger daughter is doing very well; headache-free for several weeks! My elder will be 8 tomorrow (!!!!!) and is also healthy and happy. Life is good.
Perfection is often marred by the sad sense of reality. I received a call today from VINE. Basically, it was an automated message informing me that the father of my children has again been arrested. I had a feeling it was coming. I just found out t… Continue

Scott said… - Hey. thanks for the happy birthday message! that was nice. I felt so old turning 28, mostly because I did not have any time to adjust to fact that I will be 28. When I turned 27 I celebrated it as my 26th b-day because I honestly thought I was turning 26! So I celebrated turning 26 twice and skipped turning 27...then bam! I'm 28 and getting pretty old. How are you doing? That Chuck Norris blurp is hilarious!!! Have a good day and hope to hear from you soon
