I did the same thing last year and it was the best decision I ever made. I love being self employed and working from home!

I use cottage cheese in mine, but with oatmeal instead of flour. Egg whites, vanilla extract, cinnamon. Mmm! So yummy.

There are some expensive "luxury" apartments that'll cost you about $700-1k for a one bedroom, but most regular apartments are about $450-500 for one. $600-700 for a 2 bedroom. It would be hella cool if you were able to be my neighbor!

I was nearly 10 lbs when I was born and my mom has always told me how horrible it was, how she ripped and lost a lot of blood. I pray to God the same thing doesn't happen to me with my son! But, fearfully, I'm almost betting that (TMI) if it rips easily during sex that there's no way it's going to survive a child lol Sun, 3 May 2009 23:09:34 +0000 http://newsinglemama.com/271/positive/#IDComment20537023 http://newsinglemama.com/263/fear-of-my-childs-father/#IDComment20383881 I hope that's all it is! Hormones. At first these dreams didn't bother me. They were disturbing, but I'd get over it. I guess I just realized how much unwarranted hatred he has for me that he probably wish I were dead right now. Once I started back having these dreams I think about ll of the times he threatened that I would never see the baby again to get his way. I think about how crazy he can be and how his drugs will probably make him do anything some day. That's when I get concerned. But hopefully it's not to happen.

He has gone back and forth between being ecstatic about the baby and then doubting me screaming "IT AINT MINE!" It's like seriously. Do you not remember that you were the one pressuring me for condomless sex? That you were begging to make a baby? That you DID do what you men have to do to get a woman pregnant? Not once, but multiple times! Then you're shocked that I got pregnant and can't believe it? Grow up!

On one hand it kind seems like forever, on the other hand it seems quick. But I just need my little one in my arms. Thank you!

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 15:33:35 +0000 http://newsinglemama.com/243/my-son-is-gorgeous/#IDComment19112945 http://newsinglemama.com/243/my-son-is-gorgeous/#IDComment19112746 They're worth it because they're so nice to look back at and it's something magical to see! I do think for what I got it would've been a LITTLE cheaper, but what evs! Haha Fri, 17 Apr 2009 15:30:30 +0000 http://newsinglemama.com/243/my-son-is-gorgeous/#IDComment19112746 http://newsinglemama.com/241/child-support/#IDComment19112638 I only feel intimidated because I'm afraid how he will react and how hard he would make things for us. He always said he refuses to be a Child Support dad, but he refuses be any other type of dad .. one that willingly helps us, one who is aware his son exists so I'm like what choice do I have?

Hehe! So glad you had a great time!

There's nothing wrong with it for those who need it, and if I were in that position that I needed it I would go for it, but I would just try to rely on the government just because I could. I'd like to try to make a great living for my son on my own. After all I the way I feel is that he IS my son and he IS my responsibility, not the rest of the state's! I accept that.

Even more crazy that it's their fault you don't have a receipt! Have you tried to sell the clothes online?

And really that's all I have to say. MSM was the first single mother blog I read when I found out I was to become a single mother. I was actually drawn in and inspired by your positivity and strength. And for what it's worth that's why I still come back every day!
