Life As A Single Mum
28 Oct 2008
I’ve set this blog up for a couple of reasons. While I initally decided to start a new blog for this year’s NaBloPoMo where I’m hoping I will be able to write a post a day for a month, I chose the topic of single mums (and probably parenting in general) as being a single parent to three teenage children (a boy and twin girls) I figure at least it’s probably something I know a little bit about.
The other reason is that I’m hoping that being able to chronicle my daily life (which while not always that exciting, at least I should have something to talk about 
) I will not only get my creative juices flowing to help with other things I do online but I may also be able to help/advise other single parents, offer a bit of humour (no matter how old your kids are - they can still sometimes do or say the strangest of things) or show that being a single mum (or dad) doesn’t mean your life has to stop; while for the most part my life does revolve around my children I still get some time to have at least a bit of a life for myself.
The actual NaBloPoMo doesn’t start for a few more days yet (November 1st) - geez I was going to write something else here, but one of my kids just asked me a question and I totally forgot what it was; okay yes that may be one of the side effects of trying this blog: getting sidetracked.
Five Minutes Later:
While it doesn’t start until Nov 1st (and I guess that’s in America so for me it’s Nov 2 if I wanna follow along with everyone else) I may add a post or two (aside from this one) in between now and then, just to get into the swing of things.
For now though, I must scoot: I have to go and pick my son up from his sport, feed them all tea (dinner) then get one of my girls to her sport.
