We are family!
We are family! I just got back from an amazing trip with my BFF Alice. It was so much fun for all of us! The kids had fun together, the moms had "fun" sharing the things we need to do for our kids like feed them, bathe them, etc... I especially enjoyed having the company of another adult--especially one who I like quite a bit [LOL Alice :)]. Having one friend who genuinely cares about you and your family is priceless. Should we tell Master Card about this?!?! Just Jokin'!
Now, to go in a completely different direction, one thing I find hard about being a single mommy is that mealtimes can be kinda lonely at times. My kids don't necessarily eat the same kinds of food I do. Sometimes, I don't even cook for myself because usually what happens is that I cook for my little monsters [LOL Diego and Isabella]and they don't eat what I think they will so I eat their leftovers! I HATE wasting food!!
I know this entry is going all over the place today but it is kinda how I feel all of the last 24 hours have been. This is what happened--the short version anyways. My babies daddy was supposed to see the kids today as he is every Sunday from 10-6. We ALL left early so that I could bring the kids to see him by 11 at the latest. He calls me at 10 to say that he would be unable to see the kids today because he was going to end up working at 3 and that his life situation was a bit unbearable. He lives with his parents right now and does not get along very well with them.
Anyways, I had already pumped up the idea of seeing their daddy to my kids and was totally mad--but I contained it very well. V called me back and said lets do brunch with the kids instead. To comfort the kids with being able to see their dad and also to not look like a liar since I was telling them that they were going to see him earlier--I agreed.
We went for brunch and then the water park. Its is so weird. He was happy he got to spend time with me and the kids. The kids were happy they got to spend time with me and their daddy. I was happy-ish because everyone else was.

Heidi, I can relate. As a single Mom, it's hard to find where you fit in the social world.
I have thrived in my church family where I got to meet and make friends with other single Moms and couples too who make me feel welcome and part of something.
I've been divorced since Sean was two years old. In the early years Greg and I would occassionally do something together with Sean just for the warmth it provided for Sean to see us getting along and loving him.
Sean's 16 now and it's trickled down to maybe having a meal together once a year.
