I am so happy to be discovering your blog right now. If I don’t make myself stop, I will end up commenting on every one of your posts tonight. I will have to pace myself…
Take care!
I’m going to echo what Marjorie said, but it’s about a six-month-later echo. So it’s a really long echo.
Seriously? My son is about three months older than A, and I split up with his dad the same month/year you did. In September, we thought maybe we’d try again, but now we are coming to the realization, or I’m coming to the realization, that I just need more time to think about it all. So who knows what is going on now.
It’s been great going back and reading through your posts. You are giving me a whole new perspective on many things. I wish we could be IRL friends. Heh. We could start our own progressive mom group. And it could be real fun. With no form letters. I need some single-mom friends.
Just found you by typing in the words single, mom, crafty…And here you are. So happy to meet your blog-acquaintance. My daughter is four and a half this year…So much has happened in our lives since she has been born…The greatest impact had to be when I had to have her father removed from our house when she was two. It’s been a long road. New job, new apartment, new life alone together. Making things keeps the two of us happy. For me, its given me something to do during the many nights alone…and gives me a sense of connectedness to something much larger than my little world. Just so happy to find I’m not alone. Stop by and say hello sometime…
You had left a message on my blog about an Idea? The ART of out of Work is my blog. I am just try’in to get back to you! The mail symbol at the bottom of my posts is my Email or you could probably respond from here.
Sincerely, Rhoby
Hi there,
This might seem a bit odd, but I just met a friend of yours who informed me of your daughter’s name. The amazing thing is that my daughter, who will be three in November, is also named Aviendha. I haven’t met or heard of anyone else who is even really familiar with the name, let alone who chose it for their daughter. I just thought it was wonderful to hear that there is someone else out there who liked it! Anyway, it’s nice to meet you and perhaps we could be friends?
