feel love thumping at the doors of my heart again

Another fellow uncoordinated dancer? Awesome! I will look for some funky dance classes but you see I forget that my time is so freakin' limited thanks to shared custody.

FM, you haven't vented about the kids and mothering in so long. I was wondering how you were doing in that area. I am pleased to hear that your friend didn't sugarcoat anything. It is very tough and not fair to the kids but that is out of our control. So, you do the best you can and when you have a bad one, you vow the next day will be better and it usually is.

I heard from one of my friends who is studying to be a CASA worker (child advocate for the state or something like that) is that when the kids of single parents become juvenile delinquents, they saw that the moms went through multiple boyfriends in front of the kids, and didn't spend quality time with the kids. You are not doing that (sifting through men) and are spending time unplugged with them so don't worry.

But dealing with behavior and other decisions alone is very hard. It sucks.
