Camp Weary Parent has been in full swing all summer, but the fearless leaders over at Weary Parent are marching gamely on. Charlene is playing her own game of Survivor and counting down to school (38 days!), while Christine is wondering when her teens decided she was uncool…
Here at SoloMother, the summer seems to be […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
I’m exhausted. I’ve had a Netflix sitting on my bedside table for a week, but haven’t found the time to watch it. My beloved books are lonely.
So is my son.
My mother has keys to my house. Today, she picked the boy up from school and he wanted to go to his house to play. Apparently, […]
I’m still working. Yes, I know, it’s 9:30-something at night. Yes, I know I’m meant to be in bed watching The Illusionist. But if I don’t get this stuff done, it won’t get done, and then we’ll be up the creek without a paddle. I’m trying very hard to avoid getting overwhelmed and you know […]
The KoE’s dad arrived safely, albeit late, last night. On the eve of my first business trip for the Big Job, no less. I got no sleep last night, wolfed down a ton of vitamins and hopped into a cab. Got on the plane, was sick from taking too many vitamins on an empty stomach. […]
