Raw and Honest Blog of a New Single Mom

I am a single mother of a biracial baby boy just trying to make it on my own. This journey is hard, yet rewarding. Blogging is my therapy, these words are my heart, and people doing better and being inspired by what I have written is my passion and hope.

First Day of (Day) School

Today was Jack’s first day at day care and I’m so glad it’s over with. Things didn’t go as smooth as I expected really from the beginning. First we slept in late. I want him to be there by 7:30 or 8 so I can get an early start to my day, but instead we [...]

Breaking Cosleeping Habits

I need to find a way to get my son out of my bed. When the lease is up I think it would be best for us both to get a 2 bedroom apartment, something with plenty of room and his own personal space to play freely without me worrying what non-babyfriendly things he may [...]

Day Care

I’m kinda stressed right now and trying to get my life on track. Since my son was born I don’t get to work as much as I need to to keep us afloat. I make enough to pay the bills but anything extra comes out of my savings and now my savings is $100. [...]

Mama

Aww my son is calling me MaMa now .. FINALLY! but it’s too bad the only time he calls me MaMa is when he cries. He will jsut sit there and say it over and over again “Mamamamamamamamamama” starting at me and hanging on to my leg until I pick him up. It get’s annoying, [...]

Debt, Court, Health

I’m finally getting a mini time out from wrangling up the boy and working nonstop. My body is beyond exhausted from all this, plus the surgeries. sheesh.
Jack is pretty much doing everything now except walking independently and it’s blowing my mind. It’s like one day he could hardly crawl all that well and that [...]

Holidays and Baby

I haven’t been online much at all the past week or two because my mom has had this new obsession with me with me and my son spending the night at her house. She will actually plead for us to which makes me feel bad saying no. I guess she’s really lonely or something .. [...]

Sitter Abuse

My mom kept my son last night and since I was tired she asked me if I would be OK with her taking my son over to my aunt’s house before she went to work so I could rest and because my aunt has been dying to watch my boy. I told her I suppose [...]

“Rape”

I’ve been meaning to do better at updating. Really. I have. I’m not dead and I love keeping this blog up. I guess really my life as a single mom .. and well my life period has been uninteresting. Life consists of nothing more than work, sleep, baby.
I’m so proud of Jack. He can can [...]

Smiling, Sleeping, Learning, Tummy Time

You know .. I have no idea what this Colic is about. I have no idea why it seems my son is “good” with other people, but screams his head off with me. I’m told it’s the way all kids are because they are more comfortable with being uncomfortable with their parents. Ok, whatever. I [...]

Confession#1 : No More Colic!

When Jack cries nonstop for apparently no reason it makes me second guess myself and wonder why I ever became a mother. To listen to this shit nonstop? I have to because he has no one else. I knew this when I decided to become a single mother, but then it seemed it would be [...]
