I'm living the single life with my son Jake. Over the next few months, you'll take the journey with me of my soon-to-be empty nest life. He's the light of my world. There's no 'teenager' manual, so I'm treading water about 1/2 the time wondering if I'm going to sing or swim! Jake makes it easy tho...90% of the time he's great and easy...unlike most teenage stories I've heard. So my blog is my experiences in the life of a single mom...of a teenager!

Marshmallows & coke
ok...now tell me why I spend 100's of dollars on healthy, but good food, just to find out my son would rather eat marshmallows dipped in Coke! I'm getting a vivid picture here of how my son's eating habits will be in college! So I'm guessing instead of buying a meal ticket at the University of Texas, I should invest in marshmallows! Do they spoil? I know they get hard if left opened...great, now I'll have to buy Rubbermaid to store the marshmallows in! This gets better and better. The saga of a single mom surviving a teenager continues!
Day 6 of being a Sophomore Mom
Well I've survived the first 6 days of my son's sophomore year. Yes, there's been drama; yes, there's been a slew of homework - but the good news is we're both still alive! Don't get me wrong - I have the most wonderful son! But the bottom line is HE IS A TEENAGER! I'm still adjusting to no longer being the female of choice - I was recently replaced with Megan Fox. I don't understand it...I feed him, clothe him, do his laundry, take him to school, run him all over town....and yet he still chooses a scantily clad vixen over his mother! Imagine that! My grandparents always said my childhood would come bite and haunt me someday! So I'm begging - God please have mercy on me! It's back to reality, meaning my real job. Would love to hear your stories of raising teenagers, especially boys!
