I had all this great stuff I was going to expound and rale and pontificate upon this evening, but it was all derailed by a lovely little song a dear lady sent me this weekend to help me kick my blues.
I’ve only now got around to watching it, which might give you an idea of […]
I guess J. K. Rowling will forgive me for not supporting her, right? She can’t have forgotten what it was like for her as a single mother. I am so in awe of her. Some day, I would like to hear some voice so loud and clear in my own heart that I can write […]
What is it with dating? According to the online dating sites, we’re all healthy, happy, well adjusted men and women who love our jobs, travel the world, save small animals from extinction and take out the trash faithfully on Tuesdays. We’re good listeners, great cuddlers, and play nicely with others.
If we’re all so damned fantastic, […]
There’s been a lot of thinking going on chez SoloMother this weekend. I’ve let my own needs take third place to son and work, and there has to be a better balance. Beginning Tuesday, I take charge of myself. I think I’m good and disgusted. Time to change.

The landlord finally fixed the ceiling fans in the house.
I’m in heaven.
There’s one in almost every room of the house, and I haven’t turned the AC down past 80 degrees F. in a week. At night, I even have to use a cover.
I can’t wait to see what my electric bill is going to […]
The mind boggles.
I’ve lost my anchor. The King of Everything is on a grand adventure with his grammy to Richmond and points south. He doesn’t want to talk to me when I call, he’s so busy playing with his cousins and going to the petting zoo, the water park, the science museum. My mother is […]

In a nutshell:

My trash can. I heart it.
Simple Human makes amazing products for everyday life. I haven’t bought a box of trash bags in months. This little beauty is a wonder of design on so many levels.
It fits under my sink.
It is just the right size for grocery bags.
There are these convenient little hooks […]
I’m burned out. I’m burned out at work, I’m uninteresting here at SoloMother. I’m just wading through the mire, trying to get through these difficult learning times to solid ground. If you’re just joining us here, if you’re newly single, newly mothered, or considering the alternative to an unhappy marriage, take heart. It’s difficult. It’s […]
I bought the prettiest dress this afternoon. It fits perfectly.
At least, I think it does. I’m not entirely certain, because it zips up the back, and for some reason, I couldn’t manage the zipper. Which means, when I want to wear the dress, I’m going to have to run over to my neighbor’s house and […]
