Being a single mom.

Everyone knows its not easy but in less your a single mom you have no idea how not easy it really is. and no im not saying only single moms have it hard i am sure there is tons of moms out there that are not single and still have a rough time but im not on that topic right now im on "SINGLE MOMS" i am a "single mother" of 3 i have a son who will be 4 this month on the 28th i have two daughters one who will be 3 in October and the other will be 2 in December I live with my parents and i work for my father yes you might say i have it made i get to work for my pops and live under his ruff but its not that simple not only am i the only one who watchs my babies there father is not involved what so ever he will not pay his child-support he will not call and he will not work. he is your topical "Deadbeat Dad"  he has not been in my childrens life for more that a 4th of there life. and he knows my number and i still live in the same house since the first day he met me. (thats a different subject as well) okay so my days pretty much go like this

7:00am- Wake up, Wash up
7:30am- Doll up! (hair and make-up) {to me this is one of the main things a woman should do every morning she should show that she appriates her body it is a timple and we need to take care of it!}
8:00am- Kids wake up kids want food kids want juice and kids want cartoons so they eat i change them get them ready for the day pick up there mess put some cartoons on they get to enjoy the tv for 30 min. so i finish up on me you know changing my clothes. bye this time it is about
9:00am- I get some dirty clothes separate the dark colors and the whites put a load in the wash, ask the kids to go in the room and play and of course they give me "hell" about turning there cartoons off but it happens and i start watching Desperate House Wife's its my fav. show. so as my clothes is washing the kids are playing and im trying to hear the tv. over them singing/screeming/yelling in the room and playing it is finally 9:30ish- and i make me something to eat and sit and watch some tv
10:00am- get the clothes from the washer put them in the dryer and put another load in than i go make the kids a snack because im sure they are jumping up and down on me asking for a snack! then i go in the room and play with them for a while until it is time to do another load and another around
12:30pm- i make them lunch give them drinks and clean up there room because i know after they eat they are going to want to relax and watch some cartoons so i let them (btw this is the only time they are quite) only one of my kids takes a nap so you can only imagine how that is by this time it is about
1:30pm- i vacuum and i wash everyone's dishes i finish washing drying and folding and putting everyone's clothes up and i put my parents clothes on there bed and that's towels and all by this time the kids are calm my mother gets home around
2:00pm- i sit and talk with her because i have finish just about everything in the house the kids room is clean everyone's clothes is washed the kitchen is clean and the carpet is clean
around
4:00pm- i either help my mom or i start on dinner myself we all eat around
4:30 or 5pm- i clean up after them and then its bath time
6:00pm=bath time and play in there rooms until the sun goes down and its about
8:00pm- and i ask them to lay down and they are asleep on the couch at around 8:30 so while there sleeping i go clean up there room once again and pick them up take them to there clean beds.

after they are asleep i basically stay up for at least 3 more hrs to get some "me time" you know bubble bath/shower watch some tv or get on the computer and talk to you lovely people.

{and if one of this kids wakes up in the middle of the night i take care of him or her}
so from the moment i wake up i start my day form 730 am until about 10:30 or 11:00 i am on the go and i love every bit of it but it is not easy what so ever! and if you think you can do all that i do during the day by all means come do it... with all this i still have to maintain and fit in some where my work i do for my daddy and school that i will be attending at the end of this month.
