People say that motherhood is the hardest job in the world. If that's true, then single motherhood is the hardest job in the world with mandatory-overtime-without-extra-pay-and-yes-you're-working-the-holiday-weekend.
I can say that because I am a single mother.
All moms, but single moms especially, end up living much of their lives for their kids. I know I do. I work full time from home and my only weekday ventures from the house are school drop-offs (two of them), school pick-ups (two of them) and trips to shuttle my thirteen year old son to where he "needs" to be.
Work, school runs, shuttle. Add grocery shopping and meal prep and that sums up 98% of my life these days. Quite honestly, I'm bored and I'm craving more in my life. It may be taboo to say it, but I can't wait for my afterlife - that is, life after the kids move out. I LOVE my kids, but I love myself too and I refuse to give up on who I'm meant to be. This blog was created to share my efforts in staying young, sexy, smart and financially sound so that when it's time to live my life for ME - I'll be ready.
Wine and heels are two of my pleasures in life that I refuse to give up. They are keeping me sane and sexy during the mommy years.
