Where is the "EeeeeK!" icon? lol


I met with dd's counselor yesterday b/c I MUST let her know i am dating. If she ever heard it from someone else ... she would lose so much trust in me.

Oh my goodness... I hope that the perception here isn't that the "man" changes light bulbs, paints the ceilings and takes out the trash.

All fabulous arguments! I agree with them all, but I'm just not ready to go there. But I am. I'm not. I am. UGH! Mush brain.

Oh, the buses. The idiot woman whom I was hleping up and bought 3 cheap buses and still hasn't told me. It's been what, 6 weeks now? Communication isn't her strong suit.

But maybe next year when the school expands and we need more than just the 2 buses!

Thats funny you know b/c I always hesitated to say anything about needing a MAN to have a baby ... b/c I always thought if i wanst remarried by age 40 (next year) then I woudl go to a sperm donor ... BUT ... now I know what its like to be a single mom & throwing a baby into mix would only make life WAY too crazy!


She will eventually accept it ... hopefully!

There are definite "keys" to who the whole single mom/baby thing can work well for, and having lots of close friends and family around to help out is a plus, along with having a profession that's family friendly and flexible.


My mom works with a single woman who was 39 when her half brother, who lives in another state... and was in trouble with the law quite a bit... got his girlfriend pregnant.
