	<description>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.</description>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been meaning to do better at updating. Really. I have. I&#8217;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.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m so proud of Jack. He can can sit up all his own now, but he can&#8217;t actually sit up for too long. He&#8217;s rolling, he&#8217;s trying to crawl although it frustrates him. He&#8217;d much rather attempt to walk.<br />
I&#8217;m worried about him. We definitely need a bigger apartment so I can get him a crib. I think he&#8217;s rolled out of the bed a total of 4 or 5 times with me. My mom called me up all nervous to say he rolled out with her. I mean no one lets him do it on purpose but he&#8217;s just so busy and impossible to sleep with anymore. If he hits the wall he will turn himself around and keep rolling until he goes off the foot of the bed. Uggh .. I don&#8217;t want him to get hurt! I&#8217;m not sure what to do with no space.</p>
<p>Anyway child support has been moving along fantastically. I assume they&#8217;ve sent out the notices. Daddy has been sending me emails saying in one sentence he has no money to pay for CS so its not fair I filed, and in the next claiming I raped him to set him up because he doesn&#8217;t remember me or ever sleeping with me. He says he vaguely remembers falling asleep while being in my presence and that I&#8217;ll never get away with this. Mmm sure baby. Guess that&#8217;s why you were all in my face saying you missed fucking me a couple months ago, huh?</p>
<p>Gotta love him.</p>
<p><strong>ETA:</strong> I&#8217;ve been doing a worse job at keeping up this blog than I thought! Damn damn damn. I forgot to mention before that about 3-4 weeks ago Child Support had been stalling with my case and when I would call them to get answers Customer Service would claim that the hold up was that they couldn&#8217;t find Daddy even though I gave them his exact address that he had given me and no explanation as to why that was.<br />
I got frustrated with that after hearing it for 2 months and ontop of that they were acting like I was a pain in the ass for calling them. I decided that I would write a letter to the governor to get something done and before I sent it off I like Child Support know I was going to. That same day a man called me from the Child Support office apologizing profusely and told me that he went over my case file and the hold up was that for some bullshit nonexistent reason they wrote me down as non-cooperative and put my case on hold. Finding Daddy wasn&#8217;t an issue, they found him months before. He told me he would take off my &#8220;non-coop&#8221; title and put my case as top priority to get things moving along and he would send out the letter to Daddy to let him know he was being sued for Child Support and the steps to move forward.</p>
<p>Glad to see he kept good on his word. Daddy got the letter and seems to be flipping his lid. I think it&#8217;s funny he actually thought I wouldn&#8217;t do this. That he could get off scotch free and not be held accountable for anything AGAIN. Nope, baby. You&#8217;re a 27 year old (sorry excuse for a) man. Time to finally step up and be responsible for something you&#8217;ve done.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My writing has kinda dropped off. I&#8217;ve been overwhelmingly busy with new work projects.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t have too much to say. My son has been crying nonstop again and we&#8217;re not sure why. The doctor saw him today and he&#8217;s not sure why either. He told me to go on and put him on cereal to see if maybe its tummy pains and if it improves. So yay! Today is Jack&#8217;s first day on rice. So far so good.<br />
A bit of good news: I got a call with some positive news about my child support case .. but I won&#8217;t go into details of that until it actually plays out.</p>
<p>A bit of bad news (because it seems there ALWAYS has to be bad news to follow any good news. I feel like lately I&#8217;ve been stuck at a medium, not allowed to be completely happy or completely sad) is that I&#8217;ve been so tired lately .. I was driving yesterday, spaced out and ran up on a curb going about 45 mph. Needless to say it ripped a hole right in my tire! Now I have to buy a new one. JUST when I was slowly starting to get back ontop of my finances.</p>
<p>Second bit of bad news is that I think I&#8217;ve been fired from one of my jobs, but I&#8217;m not sure. If I have been it was a misunderstanding .. I hope it all gets worked out <img src='http://newsinglemama.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p>Lastly and irrelevantly some pics of me and the boy. Got my hurr did. They&#8217;re so blurry though <img src='http://newsinglemama.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a href="http://newsinglemama.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/nsmk2.jpg"><img src="http://newsinglemama.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/nsmk2-300x247.jpg" alt="nsmk2" title="nsmk2" width="300" height="247" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-562" /></a><a href="http://newsinglemama.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/nsmk31.jpg"><img src="http://newsinglemama.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/nsmk31-300x267.jpg" alt="nsmk3" title="nsmk3" width="300" height="267" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-566" /></a></p>
<p>I really like these. I wish they weren&#8217;t blurry or I&#8217;d have them made into large pictures to frame and hang.</p>
