Mommy is Dating

I’m a single professional (shame on you! not that kind) mother of two active, inquisitive and intelligent boys, searching for my future ex-husband. It hasn’t been easy. Truth be told, I’ve discovered carrots that are more exciting (harder, any way) then some men. And there are times when I believe in my heart of hearts that I am a non-practicing lesbian. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t have anything against men or lesbians. I have dear friends who fall into both camps. (To be precise, I don’t have friends who are simultaneously men AND lesbians, but I have friends who are lesbians and friends who are men). But “dating” sucks. Often being a single-mother sucks. Most of the time being a single home-owner positively sucks. And I’m going to chronicle all that sucking here. You, my dear friend, get to go along for the ride. (That’s the proverbial ride, not the bada-boom ride. I’m not confident enough to pull off more than one partner at time.) Never fear, most of the time we’ll be laughing. There’s nothing more hilarious than watching a woman chase after her own tail.
