Last month (or so) I was hired as a columnist for a lovely online magazine called Lovemionline.com. I named my column “Love in the Time of Baby Wipes” as it has to do with the “dating” aspect of being a single mom. In my relatively “off” emotional state, of late, I’ve neglected to mention this on my blog. I decided to do that today.
I’ve never really gone into the beginning of my single mom life on this blog … and this magazine gave me a great opportunity to do so.
If you’d like to follow those stories (and I certainly hope you do) please find the posts I’ve done so far, below:
- The Day I Realized … — This post chronicles the day I realized that raising one baby was enough … so I dropped the roughly 200lbs that is my child’s father and moved my ass back home …
- The Post-Partum Life — This post talks about the first year as a single mom and how thinking of finding love again was the farthest thing from my mind. It was somewhere between my old life and my new life which involved Gerber baby food and diapers …
- Love, Inc. — Love, Inc. tells of my first official foray back into the world of dating … of course, I whored it up at work … Well, doesn’t everybody? … No? … … Really??!
- Dating – Single Mom Edition This humorous story tells of the first official date! It took like a year to get ready … WHY don’t they warn of this kind of stuff in that “What to Expect …” book!
- Tainted Love This one is my latest post and discusses when “love” takes you to family court and tries to take your baby … Sounds like fun, doesn’t it …
I have added a new button to my menu (to the left there) and it links directly to Lovemionline. This will make it much easier for those that are interested in following …
My column runs every other Wednesday — this coming Wednesday is the next post and it’ll continue the family court fiasco. After writing about it a bit, I felt like I should’ve run a PSA (public service announcement) or something. You know, like when a particular episode in a sitcom deals with domestic violence or some other serious topic, directly after the program there’s the star of the sitcom … looking all serious … can be found talking about how domestic violence isn’t right and the such and then there’s a hotline number that flashes on screen. Oops! Tangent!
Anyway, so please check it out! Let me know what y’all think …
