Friday night was a great night! The kids and I met some friends at the bowling alley for Rock N Bowl. The kids had a blast! It was a great family night. After which Grandma took the kids home for me and the adults went out for a bit without the little people. It was nice to have a night off, even if it was only for a couple hours away from everyday responsibilities.
As a single mom people do not realize that for most of us mothering/parenting is a full time job ontop of the fact that we have to work for a living as well. So it was nice to get away for a few hours.
Like any single parent my days are about the kids. Homework, meals, laundry so they have clean clothes to wear, playing on the floor with Little Man, reading stories or watching movies. Driving to school functions or to playdates. Going to the school to drop off the forgotten flute, backpack or jacket. Among many more little and not so little things. I love this aspect of my life and I would not change being a mother (single or not) for anything. However, we all need a few hours to ourselves. I may not get it once a week or even once a month as a single parent, but when I do get it I enjoy it. Even if a small part of me is wondering if the kids are alright! :)
I think we single moms (or dads), especially those of us who are full time single parents should make it a goal to spend at least 30 minutes a day doing our own thing (of course for me this is either after they go to bed or during Little Man's nap time while the older ones are at school. This time could be spent doing your nails, pedicure, reading a book, or whatever it is that makes you happy and does not involve housework, work or parenting. :) Just make sure that the little people are safe for that 30 minutes otherwise your relaxing 30 minutes will not be all that relaxing! :)
Hope that all is well with you in your world!
Until next time....

About Me
- Lisa
- About me? Does anyone ever really know what to put here? Do people really want to know that is aggravates me to no end when the clothes fall in front of the hamper instead of in it? That I can not throw a football properly to save me soul. Do you want to know that I am great cook, but can not bake cookies? What about how I hate Jim Carrey Movies and Dumb and Dumber seems like a waste of 2 hours? There are of course the basics like: I am a single mom to 4 (yup 4) children (of course this is the whole purpose for the title) and that I love hanging out with them but rarely find the time to do so. I love to read and there is not much out there that I will not read. I am an all american girl, who lived most of her life as adult in Canada. I hate feet. I don't want to look at your feet, touch feet or know what your feet smell like. At the same time I don't want my feet touched, looked or smelled! I like flowers in a vase but would much rather have a potted plant that I can enjoy much much longer. So what else should I put here? I have no ideas, so let me know! O and I hate Game Shows!
Change your damned font color so we can read it! Quit trying to be so damn artsy and get your message across! Christ, grey on a black background...??????
ReplyDeleteWTF?!?
I am Mariam used every single spell worker on the internet, spent untold amounts of money and discovered they are all fakes...i was the fool though; doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. In the end, I decided that I wanted a tarot reading to know what my future held for me; I contacted a woman who lives locally to me and she told me about a man named (Priests Irumole); he does not advertise on the internet, has another job for income, has no set prices, makes no false promises and refuses to help anyone that cannot be helped and even helps
ReplyDeletefor free sometimes, he will give you proof before taking money. He is a wonderful man and he was the only person who actually gave me real results. I really hope he doesn't mind me advertising his contact on the internet but I'm sure any help/ extra work will benefit him.contact him as spirituallighthealing101@live.com He travel sometimes.i cant give out his number cos he told me he don’t want to be disturbed by many people across the world..he said his email is okay and he’ will replied to any emails asap,love marriage,finance, job promotion ,lottery Voodoo,poker voodoo,golf Voodoo,Law & Court case Spells,money voodoo,weigh loss voodoo,any sicknesses voodoo,Trouble in marriage,HIV AIDS,it's all he does Hope this helps everyone that is in a desperate situation as I once was; I know how it feels to hold onto something and never have a chance to move on because of the false promises and then to feel trapped in wanting something
more.
