Do you ever think, does anyone else think this is crazy, and say to themselves "What in the world is going on???" This is not the life I planned, and in no way was I ready to be thrust into the single parent adventure....
I know, I am not alone. But do you ever feel you are simply existing instead of living?
I decided that a blog was the best medium to discuss the lunacy of being a single mom, and find others who share this lunacy. My husband passed away in April of 2009, suddenly from a heart attack. Leaving behind myself and 3 children, (15, 11, and 9).
Since, I have been busy working on finishing a PhD, writing a book, working, and most importantly being a good mom. It occurred to me – that it really sucks being alone. I was married for 15 years, pretty much my whole adult life (I am currently 34).
Random thoughts gather, and all of a sudden I felt the need to share with others my uncommon thoughts. So here we are, and my first thought is….wait for it…. Teenagers..I know, I know there is really no need to elaborate, but I wanted to share the thought that entered my son’s young brain today. As we were driving home from Target, my son states.. “That guy must be having a party” (and here is where I should have stayed silent) Why? He states “He has laundry detergent and pop in the back of his truck.” See, I told you I should have never asked.
