I will use this blog as a way to help handle the stress in my life and a way to find some coping skills and to think out loud so to speak.

Thanks for listening and any advice you have, I would be great to hear it.

What do you do?

What do you do when you love someone so much that you stand by and watch them hurt themselves by not taking care of themselves at all. To the point where they don't take their meds, they are awake ALL hours of the night and spend 24 hours a day on the computer.

Then they land in the hospital in ICU and almost die due to respiratory failure. But yet they wake up from it and then survive to get moved to a private room, first thing they ask for is this D*MN computer. Do you take it to...

I survived Open House and being in a building with my ex!!!

Posted 09-17-2009 at 09:32 PM by MaryEL8775 (Life as a Single Mom and surviving Divorce...)

Well open house started off quite nicely til I saw my ex walk thru the door. He pretty much ignored me as we were selling 50/50 raffles and bake sale items for the PTO. He took DS to see his teacher and took what seemed like forever, then he comes over to me and throws an envelope at me and tells me to DEAL with it. Then he takes DD off to see her teachers and ends up embarrassing her. Well that doesn't fly with me. So finally I get a chance to go see DS's teacher and she is amazing, really nice...

Open House???

Posted 09-17-2009 at 06:56 AM by MaryEL8775 (Life as a Single Mom and surviving Divorce...)

Do you attend your kids open house? How supportive of your child(ren)'s school are you?

Well today I ask these questions because, I am now the school PTO President. Tonight we have our Open House and I have to be front and center in the midst of EVERYTHING. I have to find time to visit my children's classrooms and their teachers, while mingling amongst everyone else.

Because of open house however, the kids have a half day of school today. So I have to get the van in for...

Did you ever???

Did you ever have one of those days where nothing seems to go right? Where no matter what you do, you can't seem to do anything right or please anyone?

Well a lot of my days seem like that. I wake up and wonder, "Is today going to get any better? Are the kids actually going to get along today?" Then I go and take a peek at my sleeping angels before I wake them up for school and remember that all of this that I am doing is for them and that I love them very much.

A day in the life if a single mom...

Oh boy, there is never enough time in a day when you are a mom. There is always things to be done, places to go, people to meet, and appts to deal with.

My usual day starts off at 6:00am. I wake up to the IPOD blaring "Crazy Train" by Ozzy. Because that is how my life feels like. One big crazy train ride that won't ever stop.

I wake the kids up and get one out the door by 6:30am and the other is in the shower at this time. Then it is time to dose morning medicine...
