So, it seems like I am the only one NOT blogging these days! And since I have some down-time this afternoon, here goes: My first blog! Let me start by telling you a little about myself.
My name is Robin. I am a single mom of 2 boys, who are 2 and 5. My primary job in life is to be the best mom I can be to them! They are the loves of my life and my entire world revolves around them. My five year old just started full-day kindergarten this past September, which was very hard for me, so I get to spend a lot of one on one time with the baby, which is so much fun!
I seperated from my husband of 6 years about 3 months after our second son was born, so it was a huge adjustment for me, but it was really the best thing for all of us. The divorce was final in May of 2008. He lives a few towns over and sees the kids regularly, so I am happy that he is still in their lives, although I still can’t stand the sight of him, LOL. I did manage to meet a really great guy, though, and we will have been together for 2 years come February. He has a 12 year old son, who is a great kid, so it has all worked out (so far).
As far as work, I work from home, which is a good and a bad thing. It’s fantastic that I get to make my own hours, etc, but the pay isn’t great, so I end up having to work a shitload of hours to make enough to pay the bills (in addition to child support), which cuts into time I would rather be spending with the kids, but I gotta do what I gotta do. It’s a VERY easy job overall and I can do it and get it done well with half or less of my attention being spent on it, so that is good, I guess.
The only other thing I can think of that is worth mentioning, is my passion for scrapbooking. I started right after my first son was born and now that I have 2 kids, I work hard to keep up! LOL!
If there’s anything you want to know, ASK. If nothing else, I am not shy! I have a lot to say, so I am sure the blogs are gonna keep rolling.
Welcome to the blogosphere…..I am your first follower YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks 🙂 Gorsh, I feel special now! LOL!
Welcome! I'm warning you now that blogging will take over your brain. I just started about three weeks ago, and it sneaks up on you. I find myself thinking of things I might want to write about…and then trying to recall them when I actually have the time to write! Have fun with it. 🙂

Welcome to the deep dark world of blogging….
Welcome to blogging! I was persuaded in December of last year to start a blog and initially was fairly regular in entering posts. Recently it has been more sporadic and in fact, I think I missed out July entirely!! I'm trying to get back into the swing of things.
I hope you have a fabulous time doing this and I look forward to reading as you walk this journey!!
Btw, hope you like my blog!!
Thanks you guys! I feel like I fit in now, LOL! I have tons of things floating around in my brain, so this is probably going to be very therapeutic for me.
This is probably gonna sound corny, but I just had to let you know……I think you are doing a great job at being a single mom. I see your status updates on Facebook of all the things you do with your sons, and I'm so envious of your energy and determination. It seems like you take them someplace new every day! Enjoy your time with them now as much as possible, cuz before you know it, they'll be teenagers like my kids, and you will only see them when they need money or a ride somewhere. LOL!
