Genesis

Genesis...as in the beginning...as in, I have never blogged before so I'm thinking I need to figure out how to sexy this place up ASAP.

I am Single Mom of 2...

Master degreed

Middle class income

Come from a 2 parent home

Attractive (I think, no complaints yet)

Smart

Decent cook

And a great mother...I have two little girls, one is 7 years old and one is 8 months old...they prefer to be called Frick (the oldest one) and Frack (the youngest one). They have two different fathers and I was/am not married to either one. With my oldest, we intended to get married, but once I got pregnant I realized he was not the "one" and thought it best to cut my losses before getting my daughter caught up in a bad home life. With my youngest, her father and I have been together for five years and still no wedding. I'm almost 32...my primetime for giving my oldest a sibling is fast running out and he's going to run out of time to make me his wife soon. So when we found out we were pregnant, it was a no-brainer.

So here I am, on paper I "shouldn't" be a single mother, but in practice I am. I love my girls, and would not trade them for the world. Everything I do, I do in their best interest. I hope.

So why am I blogging? Well, over the last 7 years, my other single mother girlfriends and I would often joke about writing a book about our trials and tribulations. None of us fit the "profile" the media would have you believe about single mothers. I don't believe any of us to be trifling. No one was trying to trap their man. No one is on welfare. All of us are extremely educated and social responsible persons who accepted the time we were appointed to be mothers, period. But yet and still, trial and tribulations follow. :) So to that end, I decided that I would share some of my own with the world, albeit anonymously. Not so much to protect me, but to protect the innocent (or guilty!)

My intent is to write about my parenting, co-parenting, and monetary struggles and scenarios...but I will probably weigh in on other topics as well...just cause...I can.

I'd like to think that I'm funny and insightful enough to keep this blog entertaining...so bear with me and we'll see.
