Being a single mom was not on my list of things to do but it is one of the things I am most proud of now. Life isn't perfect its messy and not always what I thought it would be but then again thats how my life has gone so its not really a shock. Being a single mom means you are mom and dad, cook and chauffeur, doctor and therapist, warden and friend. I love the fact my kids can come to me when they have a problem and not feel judged for what they are going through, I might not have the answer but I have 2 perfectly working arms to hug them with shoulders to cry on and a box of kleenex when needed. I look at my adult male reduced family as a team - we work together you hurt one you should run because there are more of us standing right there. We fight sometimes and the rules have to be followed just like anyone else's house. I love how people stand and judge me for things I do, I know I can't please anyone but if my kids are happy and I can look myself in the mirror and not hate the person looking back at me I consider that a success. Dating as a single mom of 4 has been well lets just say interesting at best. I refuse to be the mom who brings home a new guy every week or every month. I have to know exactly who they are before they even so much as find out where I live. No I don't just trust everyone, my home is our safe zone and not everyone is welcome there. I guard my heart like I guard my kids and my home only someone I can trust will get near it. At the end of the day I may only have fur babies or small humans in my bed but I would rather roll over to no one that roll over and see someone who keeps hurting me, I deserve better and I know that now. If I can find someone who sees my house is a mess sometimes and my life isn't perfect but they want to grow old with me
