Hey, so Valentine's day came and went!! What do you do when your single and a mom? You hang out with your kids, make them a nice meal, and be thankful for them!! So, that's what we did.  I cooked a nice meal, lit some candles, and told them how lucky we are to have each other, and how love will come!! My two daughter's and I are single, due to the quality of men out there, and how so many of them only want one thing!! And for them, the guys are so immature, and for me, they are immature too!! But I know our thoughts are powerful, and what we put out there come, so I know to stay positive and believe there are some men out there that are amazing, and wonderful!! lol

So, how's the homefront?? Kids have been somewhat calm for the last week or two.  The last time my girls were arguing, they both explained their sides to me, and they always seem to want me to stick up for them, of course.  I try to see how they are feeling, acknowledge their feelings, and then explain to them how their sister is feeling, her side.  And then I tell them to talk it out when they are calm.  They were made at each other for a few days, but finally talked and worked it out.

And for me, I am still trying to figure out a way to go back to court and have the child support I pay him dropped due to the kids spending more nights with me and me not working due to my car accident. And what else? Oh yeah, I had a birthday on the 8th, forgot about that.  That was fun, went out to eat with my three kids, we were having a really nice time, and then out of nowhere, the kids were arguing.  Seems like so many special days end up with my kids arguing, wonder why? Maybe they saw too much of that while they were small and we were still married.  But, its ok, I don't get as upset about it like I use to, and I don't take it as serious or personal, I let it go, and it didn't affect my birthday. So be it!!

My daughter has gotten a new puppy, and boy is he alot of work!! She's amazing with him, takes him out to pee constantly, and is always with him.  I have had many dogs and cats and did not want the responsibility of another one, so she agreed to care for him and she has.  It just gets tough when they want to chew, chew, chew. He has so many toys, bones, etc. but still wants your hand, shirt, etc. He will learn, it just takes time and patience.
