The Single Mom Chronicles

Hello my loves. I just wanted to say that I am sorry for not following up and posting. I have been busy raising children and getting degrees. I am going to go a different route with my blog. I want to make this particular series about the something that I know a lot about-single parenting. I have had the pleasure of being a single parent for most of my life. Yes, I said the pleasure of because I wouldn't trade it for nothing in the world. It really has been a gift and many opportunities have come out of it. Trust me, I have tried to change it and no one wants to be bothered my OCD, Narcoleptic, Insomniac ass! I am also a hoarder that loves chocolate and cheese; not together of course. I have just realized how funny my life is and humor is my survival tactic.
Today is Sunday, July 31, 2016 and I am super excited. Why am I excited you may ask? Well, I will tell you; the kids go back to school tomorrow. I can't believe it. I feel like I have been in a desert in the middle of nowhere with no water, no food, nothing! I feel like I've had no sign of anyone coming to dig me out of this place called, "the kids are out for the summer".  If you do not have children then you will not understand. I cannot tell you how happy I am today. I will be even happier tomorrow when their bus pulls up and I actually see them get on the bus and the bus drives off.  Listen, I know you may be judging me already for saying this about my own children but guess what? I don't care!  I am a single mother of 3 children, 2 live in the house and 1 is in college. The 2 who live in the house with me are 16 and 12.  They are ready to start a job and pay taxes and social security. Seriously! I literally have to hide my food and my snacks, not that I don't do that anyway, but its even worse in the summer. I mean really, why didn't anyone tell me that its possible for a piece of life to eat enough groceries for ten people.  I have lost a lot of weight because there are only scraps left. Only if the smells equates to the actual food then I would be ok.  Well, that's enough of my complaining. I am off to see how angry my kids are as they get on the bus. I am going to just smile and waive.

Sincerely,

The Single Mom Who Doesn't Give a Damn!
