Hi :O)

Wow. So... It's been like... almost 3 weeks since I've posted. My how time flies when...when...when single motherhood happens! lol!

My Mom came to visit for a week and a half and help me with the babe while her regular daycare provider was out on vacation. SO great to have an extra set of hands from time to time. But then I start missing my space when she's here. In a couple days I'll start missing the extra hands again.

Single Motherhood is an exercise in constantly setting things down. Nothing is certain. Everything is moving. Plans always get redirected. I can't really get excited about anything because then baby chokes on a grape and throws up all over herself and the floor at Costco...you know...the life of single handed juggling has a lot of rain on the preverbial parade. But it is my life. :) I love it. It sure does enhance patience. Choking baby has strengthened my heart...because I've had a hundred heart attacks in the last 22 months. I have a lot of people in my life who help out a great deal. I am eternally grateful. But there doesn't ever seem to be anybody there when things get heavy. Or messy. (like having to just be right in the middle of a messy grape mess at Costco by myself.) There's no point in getting frustrated with the things life throws...or baby throws...up.

At any rate...this post isn't about anything in particular. Just kinda spilling whatever beans I can find. Marbles. I've lost mine. Could you help me find 'em? I filled out another Meme the other day. I should post it. A couple friends of mine said I was hilarious. I have my moments.
