This Is Why I Should Never Get Married

I hate to share.  Anything.  Ever.


Roommates are just annoying.  I think most people would agree with that.  I lived with my sister in a townhouse that was way too small for siblings to live in and that was hell.  I have lived with two of my exes in the past.  Hate. 


I wonder if I was just meant to roam the world as a single spinster.  Granted, I do have Mac and that's awesome.  I don't hate sharing things with her.  Well, except closet space.  That little girl has too many clothes.  I just doubt I will ever look kindly on another adult invading my personal bubble and taking over my living space.   A few days ago, my sister was using my laundry detergent and I nearly had a heart attack.  I didn't really know I had such a bond with particular bottle of said detergent.  I don't know why I felt the need to protect it.  But, I had to go all Matrix on her and make her use the community detergent  because I.don't.wanna.share.

so fresh, so clean, and so brand spankin' new

Well, I am starting this new blog to chronicle the journey of my life as a single mom to the most beautiful and wonderful little girl, Mac.  In all her two and a half year old glory, she really is the most spectacular specimin I have ever seen.


We have been on our own for about two years now.  Well, not on our own, per se.  We have family that love us and help us in any way they can and really have been our saving grace.  I guess it would be more accurate to say her father has now been out of the picture for about two years.  As sad as it makes me that he has no interest in her and that she will grow up with the knowledge that she was abandoned as a baby by her own father, I am comfortable with my decision to get out and cut ties while she was still too young to remember what life was like with him.  It was not happy times and it has taken me a long time to deal and get past it.  I am 100% certain that the right choice was made and that her life will be happier, healthier and just better in general without his dark cloud hanging over us. 


I guess I will just use this forum as a way to keep tabs on her growing up as it happens, so I can go back and relive the times, whether they be good or bad,  happy or sad.  Nothing in my 30 years has fulfilled me more than being a mom and I feel like we have an extra special relationship because it is just the two of us against the world.  I have very high hopes, and sweeping dreams of what this little girl can do as she gets older.  Signing off for now,
