The Beginning

A blog... this is the one thing I never thought I would do. I am not even sure I understand why you blog, but for me... here it is. I am a single mom of 3 and live in "everyday America". I have 3 terrific kids, but let's face it - everyone has their share of drama and shenanigans. As a single mom, you face all kinds of things along the way. You are the mom, the dad, the money-maker, the disciplinarian, the good guy and the bad guy. You are the shoulder to cry on, the person to throw things at, the only one around to scream at. You are also, the one who gets all the joy and the love from those little people running around, that makes everything else I mentioned before worth while. I figure if I have all of this craziness going on in my everyday life, then some others might be going through the same craziness, just trying to make sense of it as well. Maybe me letting all my mistakes be known, just might help another mom not make the same ones along the way. Maybe this will let someone know, that they are doing a good job with their kids, and it might just give them a little hope that it will all work out in the end. Or just maybe, someone out there, might be able to give me some advice along the way (which I promise to listen to and consider, even if I don't agree).

So, this is how the "Shenanigans of a Single Mom" began. I will keep you updated as I try to juggle my 3 crazy kids, work, my "dating life" (or should I say "lack of dating life") , and everything in between. I can promise you it will not be perfect, but it will be real and more than likely entertaining. So.... we are now ready for a new year to begin. Bring on 2010!
