"Single Motherhood-YES it IS all it is cracked up to be!" It doesn’t matter how you wind up a single mom. Be it by abuse, choice, death, divorce or surprise Sometimes it’s scary to find yourself a single mom. Take each moment and cherish it, for life can be so short. The happiest days of my life were as a single mom. Where did the years go by? I wish I could turn back the hands of time. To a time when it was me and my babies against The world. We cried and we laughed. We played like there was no tomorrow. No one to tell you how to raise your own. No one to tell you what you can or can’t do. No one to tell you not to leave the lights on No one to tell you turn that TV off! No one to tell you to SHUT THAT DOOR! No one to tell you NOT to act like a kid, ‘Cept good old mom. And no one to tell good old mom, How to be a mom and to not act like a kid.. Playing in the rain till you are soaked to the bone. Having water fights in the house, it all started with simply doing the dishes. Making Christmas cookies and getting a mess all over My where did the years go? Sometimes not enough money to buy cereal or milk. We always ate and had a warm bed, Most times all in one bed. In the projects, a dumpy apartment on the Bad Side of town. It was Home. Pizza for breakfast, dinner all gathered ‘round the living room floor Playing silly tricks on each other and laughing till your sides hurt. Mom’s don’t sweat the small stuff For life is too short. My where did the years go? Pillow fights till the feathers blow, Who can stay up the latest, movie marathons all night. Sister’s painting brothers toes with red, Run all over the house when he gets out of bed. Picnic’s on the floor, and picnic’s in the park, Playing and singing when decorating the Christmas tree , laughing till your sides hurt. Red, green and blue fingers from Easter egg coloring. Play ball at the park and play in the snow Till your feet freeze and your hands can feel no more.. Go in for hot chocolate, even if it is right before supper You think at first you will die from loneliness, But you are not alone. You never were. God gave you those precious babies Grab those babies and take them to bed Snuggle with them like there is no tomorrow. There is NOTHING more important and never will be, No one can take them away. Being a single mom was THE hardest yet, Easiest thing I have ever done. Those were the happiest days of my life, And most rewarding too. Oh God, where did those years go? I love you my dear children, Good ole’ mom.
Year in Review: 2002 my dh, ds and I have had LOTS of problems blending and it has been basically a horrible year and Chirstmas is normally my favorite time of year, but this year I am very sad. I can thank God for both legs not being broke, for my dd (who some know about her breakup and abuse by ex) finding the peace God has been giving to her., then health of all my children, my two precious grandbabies and the healing of Mariahs burns, and mine such as it is. My dad is still hanging in there and hoping his surgery goes well in January as well as mine on my shoulder in Jan (torn rotator cuff, torn tendon, bursitis and spurs)I thank God for my salvation,my church and my ds, school (private school affiliated with our church) and that God has made sure we had food and a roof over our head when dh was out of work after injury and surgery for 5 months.
