All is Well
I can’t believe it’s been so long since I’ve updated. I’ve been so busy going going going lately. Things are going well! My baby is 8 months now and growing so fast. He started standing independently about 3 weeks ago and Sunday he took his first steps! I honestly could not be more proud of [...]
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 [...]
Sick Single Mom
I think one of the hardest parts of being a single parent is when you come down with an illness and yet you’re the only person there to care for your child.
Saturday I randomly came down what I believe to be the flu and I feel so horrible. 104 fever, chills, cough/chest congestion, stuffy nose, [...]
Day Care (I think I found the one!)
I think I found the perfect day care for Jack. At least I hope I have. I tried to use mommy instinct and empathy when making my decision. I remember what it was like being 3 or 4 years old and my mom dropping me off at day cares. The ones that were no fun, [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
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 .. [...]
UPDATE on “Sitter Abuse”
So I got my son back this morning and out of precaution I checked him over and he seems fine. Nothing out of the ordinary, no bruises or punctures and he still seems like a happy baby which is good. I feel relief.
I will go on and assume nothing horrible happened to him while at [...]
