you say to-may-to, i say to-mah-to

single women wear stilettos
moms wear sneakers

single women drive a sporty car
moms drive a minivan ( you know this is your fav!)

single women wear eyeliner
moms wear dark circles

single women listen to talk radio
moms listen to power tunes

single women have a girls' night out
moms have playgroup

single women sport a salon haircut
moms sport a ponytail

single women stay up for a late movie
moms stay up for a 2am feeding

single women read romance novels
moms read dr. seuss

single women carry a designer bag
moms carry a diaper bag

single women have adult conversation
moms...don't

single women lift weights at the gym
moms lift 19 bags of groceries

single women keep their home smelling nice with scented candles
moms keep their home smelling nice (ish) with a diaper genie

single women go out for a night on the town
moms go out to the 24-hour grocery store

sometimes i think i miss being single...but i quite enjoy shopping at my 24-hour walmart in my sneakers and ponytail, then driving home in my minivan and rocking out to "power tunes" to unload the 19 bags of groceries. and at playgroup, in between 87 dr. seuss books, the other moms and i skip adult conversation and instead compare dark circles and 2am feeding stories and swap diaper bag contents. and when i get home...time to empty the diaper genie.

for reals, it's the life...

  3. Going back to school as a single mom is already difficult enough with trying to

    balance a family and possibly a career; however you don’t need to make life even

    harder for yourself by saddling yourself with tons of debt. You can avoid having this

    happen by applying for single moms back to school grants.
