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.

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 [...]

I’m Back and Missing Body Parts

December has been such a crazy month. Two surgical procedures within weeks of one another? Ooo wee! First was getting my wisdom teeth cut out the first week of December and I have to say that was an insufferable hell to live in. Just when things had started to get better, last weekend I began [...]

Dead Man’s Bones

I’m still here. Just not much time to blog because I spend every waking moment either with my boy or scheming up ways to make money and executing them. I have like 4 jobs right now ..lol. I did get fired from the one I mentioned BUT I’m not too worried about it. I was [...]

Bored Single Mom

Being a single mom taking care of her little son alone sometimes means that I don’t get to leave the house all that much and am forced to entertain myself in the strangest of ways. Thank God for my Digicam for without it and my ability to record hundreds of random videos I might actually [...]

My Future Life

I was talking to one of my good friends last night and he for some reason or another started teasing me about the psychic I saw June of last year. Honestly I almost completely forgot about that experience, but I did save the transcript. Reading over it I remember and realize just how right he [...]

Walking Away and Letting Go

By T. D. Jakes
There are people who can walk away from you.
And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk.
I don’t want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached [...]

Being Prostituted by a “Friend”

Back in March I wrote an entry about removing toxic friends from my life including a guy named S, who formally was one of my closest friends. S is a drug addict, alcoholic, insanely immature, dramatic and has absolutely no ambition in life. He was cool to be friends with for an occasional hang out [...]

Single Mom in a Birth Class

Just a quick update. I’m in a very “blah” mood right now. Sleep is getting worse and more uncomfortable so I’m pretty moody lately. You know the cramps, pain and dehydration. Not to mention not being able to be in a comfortable position no matter what! 5 more freakin weeks!
Anyway I went to breastfeeding and [...]

Packing the Hospital Bag

I finally stopped procrastinating and packed my hospital bag when I realized that Holy SHIT! It’s June and I will be giving birth in 1 month. I packed nearly half of my apartment so I swear the damn thing weighs about 20 lbs. Let’s see ..

-Robe
-Slippers
-Socks
-2 pairs of sweats
-2 T-shirts
-Dress to wear home
-Granny panties
-Nursing bra [...]

Push, Bridgette! Push!

Fuck it. Fuck him. I really can’t do it anymore. I’ve spent 5 months with him on my mind. 5 months worrying about him more than I have any other guy before. 5 months stressing, dreaming, giving him so much of my energy .. and he’s not even thinking of me. He doesn’t love me [...]
