Oh Leah, you are still a baby yourself! lol Oh to be 33 again! You know

the void never completely goes away but it does get easier as you get older

or maybe it's the senility setting in? Either way, I've settled into my life

as a single mom and am pretty comfortable for the most part. I just don't

have the energy to try to train a new man at this stage in my life so unless he

comes trained already, I'll just keep on waiting. lol

Hi Leah,

I am Mom to 3, got my divorce from my first husband when I was 33, I also am

not the knit type. I talked on the phone with friends, and on the weekends

I got babysitters to watch the kids and went out with girlfriends. BTW, I

married my second husband at the age of 42, met him at the age of 41. Dated

some real jerks, but hey it got me out of the house once in a while. I think

it is important for us , to remember we are not just Mom's , it makes you a

better Mom if u also have some alone fun time once in awhile. Viola

hello all...... feel free to delete this message and not bother straining

your eyes to the end... lolol I just am feeling sorry for myself and wonder how

other single parents on the listserv survive and maintain sanity

sometimes....... I pretty much live my life for my kids as most of us do on

here...but

lately especially later in the evening the loneliness is starting to creep in,

and I just burst into tears.... before books, writing in my journal, calling

my ex husband creative names, studying, something was able to fill that void

of " having someone " and maybe it's because I am getting older (33) and my

clock at finding someone has ticked away..... I don't know.....does anyone have

creative ways of filling in that time.... PS I am not a sew/knit kind of

lady....lololl the ladies at work suggested I do something " Betty Crocker " like

lol sooooo not me.... i have laminated to the ends of the earth and have

enough picture symbols to last a lifetime.....sorry for the vent.... I am just

feeling blahhhhh today..... I just feel like I am always taking care of

others and wish for once someone would take care of me...... sighhh

Carol,

lolol your so funny..... you did make me smile.. I don't know, I guess because

I have so much energy and I such a people person.... I miss being married.. it's

been four years and although I was miserable as all get out, at least I had an

adult to converse with..... I am beginning to wonder if these walls in my house

aren't going to start to answer me.....lolol I hope it will get easier soon....

sighhhhh thanks f or sharing....

Ahh Leah, I respect you and dont know where you find all your strength.My dh is

around and sometimes at nite the loneliness for just being myself gets to me.I

thought about joining the gym.Even if its once a month.You are 33 in your prime

lady try to find time for Leah without feeling guilty even if you have to force

yourself. Im finally doing that. Just a day a month to be Laurie. I think we all

need our individuality.

Yeah Leah,

The remote is a BIGGIE!!!!! LOL Between dh and Seth, I NEVER get to touch

a remote in this house. They both hold the thing while they watch their

TVs. LOL Notice how I said *their* TV's. LOL Heck, forget the remote, I'd

manually change the channels if I could just get to use the TV. One show a

week....Extreme Home Makeover, that's my allotment. LOL
