Diverse you say...

So I'm a baby wearing, baby food making, full time working, Christian church going, Martha Stewart meets Diva Rockstar, dating single mom... Well now that's a mouth full.


Did I mention I'm a single mom and I want it all? Who came up with this concept of wanting it all? Well that I'm still working on, but besides the point. I would more like to know who came up with the idea that we can't as women be all of it. Who's idea was it that hippy/eclectic stay at home moms were the enemy of lavish, style diva, wall-street working moms? Umm yea, not cool! We all make the world go round!

Sooo I've decided to bridge the gap, and oh yea did I mention I'm a single mom to an infant? AND I've decided that I could have it all, and by golly we are going to have a joyous ride doing it together.
Where to start, well in true ADD fashion, watch me for the changes and try to keep up. I get the fiendish delight in stirring up controversy so a little history.

I've been married twice, yeah you heard me twice and I'm only 30! Did the big D leave me a wallowing single mom? Nope, that came from a crazy night where I decided to have a pathetic lapse of judgement and walked out the door in knee high boots a low cut top and forgot my morals at home. Hmmm, guess what? 3 weeks later I decided that what to do with my predicament wasn't really an option. So I spent the last year becoming a mom, and finding myself (well go into that more later, don't worry I never leave out good details).

So at 29 I found myself pregnant, very alone, working 1 full time job, 1 part time job and in school part time, and on the brink of actually figuring out who the hell I wanted to be when I grew up. I had taken a year off of men, after a not so lovely divorce, and a nasty breakup with my rebound guy, so single was an understatement. The kicker? I had actually spent a number of years trying to have a baby while I was married and had been told as of a few months before that I might never be able to have a baby naturally. HA! One of God's awesome "I know better than you" jokes on me.

There ya go, here I am, I'll get to more history later. The point? Well I've been told that my daily life is rather entertaining. Who else spends their day, breastfeeding, leading 18 people to greatness during 9-5 working hours, coming home and making homemade baby food while texting the latest man du jour that was found on a random online dating site, all while doing A LOT of praying and having a bunch of come to Jesus moments daily? Well I do, and while I'm sure no one else's life looks exactly like mine, we all strive for it all, daily. So why does there have to be a trade off? There doesn't. Well at least not in my life...
I have no greater desire than to share my experiences in hopes that is promotes freedom to LIVE and do life in whatever way best suits you so you never feel the need to be constricted by the rules and regulations that our society has bound us to.
So hang on, here we go, you are about to have a glimpse into the life of a very ADD, hairy armpit meets power diva single mom who's a geek at heart. Will I ruffle a few feathers along the way? Hell Yea. What good would I do if I didn't? However my real goal is to just bring a few laughs to the women/moms/housewives/college kids that feel constricted to the current status they hold in life. This one's for the "I won't be confined to the rules" girls...
