Single Motherhood can be HELL!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (MsVip213) — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 07:28:00 +0000

Let me start by saying I love being a mom more than anything else in the world and I love being a single mom at that because I don't have a man bothering me for my time I get to be all about my son and I love it. Its me and Daylan against the world!!! But what is the HELL part all about well how do I put this nicely the man that is Daylan's father is not the sharpest knife in the drawer and has a mother that fights his battles for him which I guess makes him a child and not really a man. So this woman that is my son's grandmother writes my mother an email claiming that I have been condescending in all of my emails to her son. Sorry lady I have to say you are wrong I have just been straight forward which is the way you have to be with people who have selective hearing and reading. I send email correspondence to his father because I want to have proof that I am being fair and reasonable and now this lady is trying to call me out and make me a bad person because I won't let my 1year old go half way across the country to go visit people who he doesn't know and who don't even bother to pick up the phone and talk to him, and I am being unreasonable. I swear I think that these people just sit at their house and think of ways to make my life difficult. I am one hell of a mother and I wanted to be a mother and everything I do I do for my son. I swear the nerve of some people. So I wrote her a letter let me know what you all think of it....

Hello Kim,

I just want to start off by saying that you have a completely unreal picture of me. I have not been difficult I have been a mother and a good one at that, I don't feel in any way that i have to justify my decisions with you I am Daylan's parent, the one that is with him every single day, the one that wakes up in the middle of the night and the one that takes care of him when he is sick, he is my world and I believe that i know him better then anyone else and because of that I didn't feel like he was ready to be going to CT. If you can't understand that I am sorry. I am sorry that you feel as if I was being spiteful because I have not been, I don't have time or an empty house to sit around and think about how I can make someone elses life more difficult all I have time for is taking care of Daylan, going to school full time and working full time and building a wonderful life for me and my son, I leave no room for nonsense in my life sorry.
The reason I didn't reply to your email was because the issue at hand was between me and Robert and a third party was not required. I handle my own business because I am an adult and would think that Robert would be able to handle his so everything that I needed to say I said to him.
Now to address the issue you brought up to in the letter to my mother about Roberts check being intercepted. First off I work at the pay center so I don't know the story you heard but I have facts since I handle pay and pay issues. Robert had a travel claim for 1500 dollars did I recieve this NO I did not I received 820 leaving 680 if he didn't get the rest of that I don't know where it went or what other obligations he had that is not my business. The money that I recieved was for back child support. Let me explain it to so that you can understand. Robert sent money every month but he DID NOT send me the full amount of child support and the 820 was the difference in the amount he paid and the amount that was suppose to be paid. I didn't recieve anything that wasn't deserved for Daylan and everything that I did recieve I told the child support agency and I also emailed that to Robert stating that I told them.
So please don't make me out to be the bad person here. I don't sit at my house holding grudges there is to much other stuff on my plate and I don't need to be weighted down by untrue statements about me and my character. From the beginning I have been nothing but nice emailing you and your family pictures and videos, sending pictures out by mail and never did I have to do any of those things I did it because I want you guys to know Daylan and I want him to know you all. But the first time I disagree and don't let Daylan come up there and tell Robert that he needs to visit Daylan in Daylans own setting (its easier for an adult to visit than it is for a one year old) and you guys wanna get ugly about it that is uncalled for, I am a good person with a good heart I refuse to let you make me into being someone I am not.
All the time put forth in writing emails back and forth to me or my mother about how I am being this way or that way. No one ever stop to say let me put that energy in to calling and talking to Daylan so he can hear our voices, these are the things that I look at and it breaks my heart that Robert can find time to email me about stopping a child support case it took me a year to establish and talk to an attorney here and in California but has yet to pick up the phone and call and talk to his son just so Daylan can hear his voice ( I thought it was all about Daylan but its looking more like it is all about money on that end). So I suggest you all route your energy into something more productive.

Alright so do I have a sign on my forehead that says stalkers apply here or what. I must say that this is getting really old and I am so tired of the crazy people that I have run into on the streets here in Kansas. So my 4th month of living here I went out to my car to find a typed letter from a man that I have never met and never seen in my life. He knew things about that could only mean that he had watched me. He had to drive through my apartment complex just to find my car and leave the not on it. He started the note off with I am not crazy which led me to the conclusion that he was...LOL!!! I am pretty much on the defensive out here. Why must people be so weird, come on people get some social skills.

MTV is Slippin Fast

noreply@blogger.com (MsVip213) — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 06:02:00 +0000

Alright people whoever the Hell is out there watching MTV reality shows, someone needs to hit you upside the head...get a grip people if you seriously watch the Hills or Paris Hiltons new BFF or Parental Control or any other stupid reality show on MTV right now you are truly showing how stupid you are and are society is going to come to a screeching hault when your generation grows up because with shows like that I don't want any of you people running a company, running the country or even driving a car. Anyone who watches these show is seriously insane and has to be brain dead I was flipping through channels the other day and I stopped on the Hills and OMG was it the most boring an uneventful show I think I actually loss braincells when I watched it. What happened to all the role models. If young girls and boys are growing up imitating these losers of reality tv the world as we know it is doomed and just for the record MTV sucks since they stopped showing music videos. Video killed the radio star and reality tv killed MTV.....LOL

as a side note the one good show on MTV is TrueLife now that show is good the rest are crap and the people who are coming up with them should all be fired we are only creating a society of idiots.

So Thanksgiving just past and Black Friday.....and I am going to tell you that if you went out and stood in a line at 3am you my dear are a hot mess. There is not a physical item worth that much to me to go and stand in a line for....Sorry it just isn't that important which brings me to my next point. The Walmart associate that was killed by a mob of people rushing in to buy Christmas gifts <---yeah I said Christmas the day we celebrate the birth of Jesus, we have merchandise crazed people out killing folks I guess we know when judgement day comes those will be the first to burn (I suggest they repent now)....they might as well take down their nativity scene and there Christmas tree and hang up a big ol picture of Satan because there is no way in hell those people know the meaning of Christmas if they are out stampeding over people killin them like a pack of animals. Well that is my 2 cents on that PEACE LOVE and Happiness to all those that are sane...and understand what the true meaning of Christmas is which is not all that many when I really think about it so I guess to the rest of y'all I'll just pray for you.

Sex and the Single Mom

noreply@blogger.com (MsVip213) — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 22:34:00 +0000

So anyone who knows me or who has read this blog knows that I am a single mother but just because I am a single mother doesn't mean that I don't have needs also. I have currently been seeing someone but I have no desire what so ever to enter in to a really serious relationship with them I am more then happy with just the physical aspect of the relationship. I personally see nothing wrong with this in fact I see it as the best of both worlds I am able to focus on what is important such as my son and school but at the same time when I have needs to be met I know that this one person is dedicated to fulling those things for me. The agreement is as followed:

1) I am not obligated to spending time with this person like you do when you are in a relationship
2) There are no disagreements that cause undo stress on me with all the things that I have on my plate it just isn't needed
3) When I call you come...WHENEVER I CALL
4) You are not allowed to have relations with anyone else and as soon as you have decided to do that it will terminate this agreement.

So now I just want to get your views on this....and granted I know that it isn't for everyone I just happen to not need or want a relationship at this point in my life, I have far to much going on.

I sit at my office and I listen to the ongoing chatter around me. There is one person over there screaming how he is voting for McCain and another over here who says well I am voting for Obama. I listen to this all day long the long drawn out disscussion over who is right and who is wrong who is going to make it better and who is going to make it worse. Well I am here to tell you that I don't but my faith in any man. Why? Because he is just that, MAN and all men make mistakes and no man is any better than the next. What I do believe is that the only way to evoke change is through EDUCATION.

We constantly here politicians talking about fixing this problem or that problem. Sorry to say those are what I call Bandaids. Education is the only true fix here people. We talk about health care and quality of life well if you look at people with educations they have higher quality of life than those that don't have educations, they make a hell of alot more money too.

So what am I proposing? A better educational system, higher salaries for teachers and more school funding. We give all of this money to remedy problems that we could have put a stop to early on by just nuturing the minds of our children but instead we chose to ignore the schools, ignore our children, ignore the very people who spend the most time with your kids, TEACHERS by paying them little of nothing and yet we wonder why is the world such a scary place.

So the next time you see that man arrested for dealing drugs think to yourself if we hadn't been sitting around sticking Bandaids on everything and actually cared about education. That man may have been a successful businessman. People seem to think that all criminals are dumb but the reality is society failed them when they were children. You ever hear the saying "It takes a village to raise a child" well the village is to busy worried about it's self to think about uplifting the youth.

So the next time you find yourself complaining get up go to the nearest youth center and be a solution to the problem.
