As a single mom I worry a lot. It’s part of my job. IS she
nuts? I heard this as the opening line of a radio ad on Pandora. No…no I am a
single mom and my job is NOT to worry. This really grates on my nerves. She
sounds like a pathetic victim. Sweetie!!....... You are a mom! All of us
Moms (single or not) have a story
and a sad one at that. You do not need to portray yourself this way. Just say
Mom. I have been a married Mom and
believe you me my children and I are much better off without the sperm donor. Hold up Peeps the ad is trying to sell
insurance to single Moms. I think that says it all.
I know I said it was a denture day. Well, me hearties it
was. Oh it was. That is all I will say about it.
The two vacant lots that were left behind me are no longer
vacant. I have been boxed in and my view of open spaces gone. I have been
keeping my curtains closed in an effort to not accept this. They are pouring
the concrete for the foundation today on the last one. The noise alone with the
building will be a constant reminder. I am ready to go. I have been here I have
done this I am ready for a different life a different place a different
adventure just ready. There just has to
be something out…. There, somewhere that is the perfect blend of what I love
and what I find challenging and what will keep me puzzling and what will accept
my fierce loyalty and passion. Something. Somewhere.
My accent rug, The one on my bedroom floor is trying to
murder me. It has a crease lengthwise down the middle of it that refuses to lay
flat. It is not under anything, it was flat when I brought it up here but now
it has a crease about 6” tall. I trip on it constantly. I have no clue how to
fix it or flatten it. I straighten the rug stomp on the crease and 10 minutes
later up it pops. Maybe…..it is a magic carpet. Maybe it is straining to stay
grounded to disguise itself and just cannot manage to hide what and who it
really is. Maybe the carpet is also read to adventure on. Perhaps it is a mouse tunnel and I collapse it
and they rebuild it from underneath up.
I wish you could all see the photo I took that made the
front page of my community paper. It was amazing even in print it is amazing. I
have received several compliments on it. That never happens. I feel like a
proud mama.
