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.

Falling Into Place

I just realized, well I’m sensing, that things in my life are starting to fall into place. Not every thing, but some things. Important things. For one, I just noticed that all of the toxic people in my life have been weeded out in some way or another. The last few people that I held [...]

How the F* Did This Happen?!

My son has been sleeping perfectly on his Boppy Lounger since he first came home from the hospital. He seems more comfortable on the pillow than a flat surface so he sleeps more content. I know he’s getting big now, nearly too big for the lounger, but for now it’s still a fit and we’ve [...]

The Dreaded Baby Weight

There’s only so long I can use the excuse “I just had a baby” or “Hey! I gained 70 lbs throughout my pregnancy” to explain my ill-fitting clothes, muffin top, jiggly gut, wide ass, fat thighs .. and so on. There’s only so long that I can give into cravings and eat 4 whole Snickers [...]

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 [...]

The Escape

“Sometimes I feel I’ve got to run away I’ve got to get away From the pain you drive into the heart of me” The lyrics to that whole song ring so true to me at this moment. This town, this state is SUFFOCATING. I feel like I’m cooped in with no where to go. I [...]

I Hate This Part

It never fails. He’s in and out of my life, making me promises .. promises I hardly believe, yet I always have hope. Somehow my mind seems to always erase the bad and try to dig for the good. Somehow I continue to love him in a morbidly masochistic kind of way. I’m not in [...]

This is About Our Son!

So why is he saying he wants to get with me? Like seriously. And when I say “I hope our son inherits your musical talent. Maybe you’ll work with him someday on your instruments!” during our conversation his reply should not be: “I was just remembering .. WOW you gave great head ” Nor should [...]
