Q: New Single Mom
asked by: koa on August 26th, 2006

I am recently a single mom with an 11 month old daughter who keeps me on my toes! I am 21 years old and I am going back to school and I also work part-time. After three months of being upset from my break up with my daughter's father I have decided I am ready to move on. He has already moved on so why shouldn't i? I am not ready for a relationship just friends type of thing for now. If anyone is interested let me know...I would love to get to know you!

Hi darling, totally missed your post............Hope all is well.........Tough being a single mom and working part time and school on top of it.......Congrats!..........Know it doesn't seem like it but you'll do more than fine.........You'll be super!
I remember the 11 month stage.............Hanging all over mom........My girl used to latch onto my leg and never let go...........It was like having your own personal shadow wherever you go. If your still around .....Apologises for responding so late...............Let us know how your doing. :)

Hi there thanks for responding...I am doing good...One month to go and my daughter will be one! It surely has flown by! I'm doin pretty well....Gettin back into the school mode is kind of hard, but I know I have to do it. I hurt my shoulder so I have to be off work for two weeks, i'm not excited about this. But I have to get some rest so it will heal. Its getting better slowly.

Too bad about the shoulder..................Can't even take a day off here......They make us take 3 days off and get the o'doctor's note...........So ultimately paywise we get sc*wed. I go to work no matter how sick I am(yuk)................Just prop me up,lol.

What are you taking in school?...........If I go back it'll be for something I consider fun.......Videography......Small business.......And my personal favourite motorcycling!!!!!!! Probably won't get a chance till next year, but that'll give me time to save up.

If you can........Get a videocamera and record alot of moments with your daughter..................Time flies by fast.....................A couple of weeks ago we watched an old tape with my little baby girl in it........................All three of us............Me, my girl and her boyfriend..................Had a great time laughing at all her antics............................She's 16 now and absolutely treasures those moments............

..............Geesh! I feel ancient! :)

I usually go to work no matter what to...But I have been dealing with this shoulder pain for almost four months now...And I just can't deal with the pain anymore...I'm pretty sure I just kept making it worse...I work as a cna. I need to get out the camera....I was really good at it when she first came home....My mom made lots of tapes of me and my bros and sis when we were little and they are a ton of fun to watch so I know what you are saying when you tell me that you and your daughter treasure them...I can't believe she is almost one!! It actually makes me miss being pregnant with her! I never thought i'd say that....Its good to talk to someone who can relate:)

Certified nursing assistant? Great! And studying to be a .R.N?Awesome! Heck of a job but lots of dough to be made.......................Just think, all that suffering will pay off some day!

Went motorbiking today...........Before I go to work...........Great fun.......Was the ride along.......Maybe someday he'll let me ride it myself...............He's afraid it'll fall over and crush me...........He's probably right.................Wee thing here and getting up there?!?................Can't lift a kleenex box without getting winded these days.......

.................Have a great weekend. :)
