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.

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 [...]

Tough

Life’s been a little tough and hectic lately. I’m honestly overworked and overtired .. both from being a mom and from working period. I hate being thrown into a financial bind. I’m doing everything I can to keep the roof over my sons head and then with Christmas coming too? Fuck.
Sleep? What’s that?
Stress? I’ve got [...]

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 [...]

Stuck at Medium

My writing has kinda dropped off. I’ve been overwhelmingly busy with new work projects.
I don’t have too much to say. My son has been crying nonstop again and we’re not sure why. The doctor saw him today and he’s not sure why either. He told me to go on and put him on cereal to [...]

Evil.

I never posted this here but about a week ago I got a letter from the state saying that my son’s Newborn Screening Test came back that he most likely is carrying Sickle Cell Trait and they asked that me and his father come in and be tested asap as the are certain one of [...]

So Far So Fail

I just realized so far mommyhood is nothing like I had PLANNED for it to be. I failed right from the beginning when I was pregnant. I promised that I would eat great and keep exercising until it was time to have the baby. Instead I pigged out on junk, was sore, was sick, slept [...]

The Anniversaries, The Timeline

I can’t believe the Anniversary of everything is coming up. Seriously? I’ve been thrown into this whirlwind for one year now? Time flies so fast.
The date I met Daddy: October 5
The day I got pregnant: October 19
The day I found out I was pregnant: November 3
The day I moved in with Daddy and discovered his [...]

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 [...]

Romanticizing the Useless

I have a few topics I want to write about .. I’m going to try to remember them all but I probably won’t. I may spread them out in multiple posts as they come to mind.
First I want to address the depression and the issues I have with Daddy that I wrote about. My problem [...]

Putting My Truth and Honesty Out There

I think by having an online blog causes bloggers to lack authenticity, no matter what they may say. To an extent most bloggers blog to attract readers, to keep them interested, to not offend, to hide from those they know in real life.
While once upon a time I enjoyed writing fiction, I cannot be fake [...]
