Oh. My. Goodness.
This single mother is exhausted. I have no idea how his pre-kindergarten teacher can do it with 24 of these little amazing spinning tops every day.
It started at seven this morning, with all the animals somehow levitating toward my bed, a small pair of feet magicking them toward me. There he […]
Over at Career and Kids, Elizabeth is having a scheduling challenge the opposite of mine: she’s got a week filled with kids’ activities, while I’m up to my eyeballs in work. I need a kid-free week, but that’s just not possible. One deadline got pushed back because of a little thing called herding cats: trying […]
I’m loving the charity movement through the Blogosphere this holiday season. Having rather recently been a woman who needed more charity than she could ever give back, I will never again doubt the ability of a caring, compassionate community to turn peoples’ lives around for the better.
Which is why I’m writing about IttyBiz today. […]
When I was setting up my new little single mother household, I did a lot of research into which companies were family-friendliest. Working Mother magazine puts out a great list every year of the best companies to work for if work/life balance is important to you, and you want a little less worry about what’s […]
US News and World Report’s article, New Mommy Track Blends Home and Work, just depresses me. They interviewed women with husbands and nannies and high-tracked careers to prove that women are making their own rules and finding new ways to make a balance of career and family work.
For the average wage slave, single mom, this […]
I’ve been a bad SoloMother lately. My posts have been gloomy and whiny and difficult, lately. It’s almost a year since the King of Everything and I returned to the States with little more than the suitcases in the belly of a plane.
I hadn’t realized how much of an uphill battle I had before […]
Shhh. Parents make mistakes, too. The important part is learning from them. If you want proof that you’re not alone in being imperfect, please head over to Babylune to check out the group writing project about parenting mistakes and the lessons learned. Day one is here…. but there are four groups of entries, so be […]
I’ve been vaguely angry all week, and I’ve been a whirling dervish, too. So it wasn’t until yesterday evening that I found the space, the peace and quiet, to burrow down into my own soul and confront what was eating me.
As usual, it was my ex.
Dammit. I don’t want to try to understand him and […]
I had to take a few days off work when the King of Everything got his tonsils and adenoids removed last week. By Friday, I was definitely worried about me.
I couldn’t stop working, even though I’d scheduled the time off.
What’s WRONG with me?
I even thought about calling this help line we have at work–it’s this […]
I brought my son to work with me today. Yes, I’m working on a Sunday, why do you ask?
I brought him in for a variety of reasons. First, I have no idea what my father does. When I was a little girl, I had a hard time saying ‘attorney’. One night, my father brought clients […]
