Is anyone still with me?

I don't know if anyone is out there reading this.  I've severly neglected this blog.  I love to write, but I just haven't made the time for it.  That and my thoughts are so scattered that I don't know where to begin.  When I do find a starting point, then I can't seem to stop.  But tonight I was just browsing out of boredom and I came across a blog written by another young mom whose husband committed suicide.

Why Being a Single Parent Sucks....and ROCKS!

Yesterday I was frustrated and annoyed at life in general.  I was thinking about all the things that make single parenting so hard.  I'm not talking about shared parenting, but true single parenting.  You know....where there is no other parent.  Here's my list of things I hate about it.

This Sucks

I feel like a zombie.  I'm frozen in a state of depression that I thought I had left behind me.  What's weird is, it has nothing to do with my own life.  Just yesterday I learned some terrible news. 

Please Just Do Your Damn Job

Let me just start by saying that I love the secretary at my office, but today she made me want to jab pencils into my eye sockets.  She's a sweet lady, but she sometimes she isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. 

Anticipation

If you read my quick rant from yesterday you know that my mom wants to go Christmas shopping with me for the wee one.  It has just been confirmed that, after much back and forth and typical (for us) mom/daughter bickering, we are going to today.  So I'm just warning you that I'll probably be back on here tonight with more frustrating rants to share.  You should be on pins and needles waiting :)

Why's the Label Important?

I had friends over last night to hang out and play cards.  My best friend, her boyfriend (might as well be her husband), her kids, her daughter's boyfriend and the guy that ....well, I don't know what he is, but I like him.  We ate pizza, played cards and drank beer while the kids all played.  It was such a nice relaxing night.  I'm really starting to have to fight the feeling I have for this guy (Let's call him George).

Quick Rant

I just need a minute to vent.  So I called my mom today to ask her a quick question and she mentions that she wants me to come shopping with her sometime to get Christmas presents for my daughter.  I told her that was fine and asked her when she wanted to go.  She told me that she is free anytime today.  I told her that I couldn't do it today, but I could tomorrow or just about any afternoon this week.  She is busy tomorrow so I suggested Thursday.
