Back in the Dating Game

Well, being a single mom is hard enough, being a single mom trying to date again is even harder!  You would never expect that there would be so many great guys ouot there who don't mind you being a parent.  I was shocked and pleasantly surprised to find this out.  However, you get torn between your heart and your head.  I have been seeing a great guy, ex-military with 3 tours in Afghanistan, in school, great job, and younger than me... which I always like.  But I just can't get past that any time I spend with him is time away from my girls.  What to do... what to do?  My heart says stay, but my head says go:(

Daycare Blues

Well the girls have officially been in daycare for 2 weeks now:(  I was having such a hard time seperating myself from them, but it needed to happen for me to get anything done.  Part-time, Wed-Fri lets me put in the hours I need at work, while still being able to spend my nights with them.  The upside is that they are doing great.  My Second Home is a wonderful close-knit daycare with lots of one-on-one attention and a fabulous staff.  I swear, the first time I dropped them off they didn't even care I was leaving.  I was in total shock, expecting them to scream bloody murder!  But nope... they just turned and started playing like mommy wasn't even there.  Let me tell you, I have been blessed with the most amazing children... they are the happiest babies I have ever seen and I thank God everyday for them.
