In fact, my mother also has a great social life. I, however, don't have time or energy to see anyone. People ask me if I date. DATE? Never mind who I would date. WHEN would I date? I get the kids to daycare at 7:45am, work all day, pick them up around 5pm. Go home, make dinner, and all of the other stuff that mom's do. On top of that, I'm VP of the Board for the daycare, take an on-line course, go to AA at least 3 times a week, and then work even more from home.<BR/>We do the large colour-coded calendar as well, it's the only way to go.<BR/>Oh yeah, this is about YOU and your kids. Ooppsss. <BR/>Fact is, us parent's done have time for a social life. I'm glad I'm single, I don't have to stress about spending time with the spouse. <BR/>Good luck to you, you're going to need it!Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09077319269501661887noreply@blogger.com
