So life as a single mom - crazy, hectic, insane and totally worth it. (Or so we work hard to convince ourselves everyday) Fall is upon us once again and as much as many of us look soooo forward to this time a year - kids are back in school, routines become normalized it also means a return to crazy after school schedules and a huge reduction in social opportunities, not that as a single mom many of us have a whole lot of those. In my case fall brings back dragging my kids out of bed everyday way earlier than they would like to get up, stuffing them into their school cloths, chasing them to get out the door, dropping them off at school not for a couple of hours peace but so that I can either race off to my part time job or to University because my life isn't psychotically crazy enough without adding my own education into the mix, racing back to the school to pick them up, racing half way across town for soccerswimmingdancelessons, then finally home to make supper and chase the kids to do their homeworkchoreslaundry, then finally put them to be and collapse exhausted onto the couch just to realize I have paperexamstudying to do. Argh! And just when I think its all over and I can relax the alarm bell goes off.
Sound familiar? I am sure it does. So given the lack of getting out of the house in the fall without kids, my love of writing and a need to vent, and my desire to share the many tips and tricks that I have developed over the years to make life transition a little smoother I thought I would start blogging - just to add one more activity to the dizzying aray of items that I have on my "to do" list. I swear I have become so used to being unbelievably busy that I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I actually had free time!
If you have a story to share or a tip for making the most out of a dollar, and life as a single parent please feel free to comment on the posts I put on here and welcome to my blog!
