It’s a very odd feeling and it will hit you like a ton of bricks the moment you’re least expecting it.
Perfect
My all time favourite morning show (89X Radio’s Dave and Chuck the Freak) had the results of a survey for “The Perfect Man”.
Some of them were really laughable (must be 6ft tall and like football) while some made sense (care when she’s upset). Of course the criteria for “perfect” is subjective so I’m not really sure how this survey works.
No More Secrets
Last week, my mother surprised me with an odd confession.
During a conversation about the summer & relatives & the like, she informed me that she had not told our extended family that I was finalizing my divorce out of concern of what my strict Roman Catholic family would think.
I Won’t Give Up
You know that feeling when everything is awesome & your world seems perfect & then something happens that makes it suck?
Yeah, that.

Now that the school year is coming to a close, it’s time for this student Mama to become a working Mama.
30 Days of Truth Day 30
Day 30 : A letter to yourself, tell yourself EVERYTHING you love about yourself
30 Days of Truth Day 29
Day 29 : Something you hope to change about yourself. And why.
30 Days of Truth Day 28
Day 28 : What if you were pregnant or got someone pregnant, what would you do?
Oh. Em. Gee.
I would panic & bawl.
Poor Drew would be breaking the news to my beau, as I’d be panicking.
I do not want any more children. My three plus his one is plenty, thank you very much.
If it were to happen, after the crying & hysteria, I would raise him/her. I am pro-life & do not believe in abortion (unless medically necessary). Obviously, I wouldn’t force his/her father to stay & help me, but I would hope any man I end up with would want to be a father. I’ve had enough experience with fathers who only want to see their kids when it benefits them for one lifetime.
Fortunately, I take every precaution to ensure that I won’t get pregnant again. I love my girls, and I love being a mom, but I’m happy with what I have.
30 Days of Truth Day 27
Day 27 : What’s the best thing going for you right now?
Everything!
I have great kids, a wonderful man by my side, the best friends in the world who have my back & a whole world of opportunity!
Some days, when I get overwhelmed, I like to remind myself of what I have. I know I’m so blessed & I don’t ever want to take it for granted. I never want to forget what I have, because when you lose sight of those things, that’s when you doubt everything.
My girls amaze me every day with the things that they do. They are brilliant & beautiful & wow me with their insight. I hope they retain their innocence & faith in humanity as they grow.
If it weren’t for my friends, I might have given up a long time ago. They rallied around me when things got tough & fought in the trenches with me. I know people who’s family wouldn’t support them like that. I’m quite fortunate to have them.
I write; I love it. Writing makes me happier than anything else in this world that isn’t my girls. As long as I can write, I’ll be happy. I’ve done a lot of cool things as a writer & I’m very proud.
That’s more than most people get in a lifetime!
I won’t sell myself short; I have the tenacity to rise above the bad & focus on the good. This will help me remain successful, because if one door closes, I know three more will open & when my story is over, it’ll have a happy ending of a life well lived.
30 Days of Truth Day 25 & 26
Day 25 : The reason you believe you’re still alive today.
I guess it’s because I still have a lot left to do!
I have to see my daughters grow into women & become mothers themselves. I have to accomplish my professional goals. I have to live happily ever after with the man of my dreams, & sit on the porch swing when we’re old, still as in love as we were when we met. I still need to go to New Orleans & walk in the French Quarter & ride an elephant!
My time is not done yet, which is why I’m still here. When I’ve lived life to the fullest & done the above mentioned things, then and only then will I go.
Day 26 : Have you ever thought about giving up on life? If so, when and why?
Nope. My daughters need me.
