Single Momma Life

Being a single mom rocks. Seriously! I get to live my life on my own schedule; there's no one I need to check in with, no one I need to wait for and no one that is waiting for me. I eat what/when I want, work when I want, and go about life doing whatever works for Juliette and I. We live in the moment and I have come to enjoy it.

However...there are a few small things that are a bit more complicated when you are a single parent. Here are some of them:

• When I yell out, "garbage is full!" no one appears to take it out.
• I have gone to the bathroom with a baby on my lap. Numerous times.
• A quick milk run in the early morning or the late evening is not quick at all. It is "load-up-the-baby-and-then-unload-the-baby" slow.
• Not only have I killed spiders, but I've done so only silently-screaming in my head so as to not scare the baby I am holding
• I complain about the bills but no one is listening
• When I am around other people, I hear that I hold my baby too much. (This is enough for an entire blog post on its own which you may see someday. Soon. Depending on how many more people piss me off). What they don't understand is that when I need to do ANYthing at home, I am not holding her nor is anyone else. She is "down" when I need to do everything YOU do while your husband holds your baby.
• When you need a hug, you have to annoy your baby. Again.

Other than that, it rocks :)

Off to do the bills (during which I will complain even though no one is listening).

Love,

Momeo and Juliette

XOXO

[EDIT: When a single momma gets a pounding headache, baby doesn't know and doesn't sleep in later and doesn't have more patience either... had to add that to my list after last night!]
