Loving life, is half the battle.

Jack has always been a good sleeper, I put him to bed at eight o'clock he gets up at seven am. No problem, he lays by himself without crying and typically sings himself to sleep.

I started College on Jan 11th and ever since that date, he has decided that he doesn't want to sleep. It is close to impossible to get him to lay down in his bed and even harder to get him to stay there.

I have some questions for all the single parents out there.

I am so frustrated.
As I am starting my move from CA to North Dakota I feel like I am losing more than I am gaining to be close to my parents again. I don't want to live off of assistance, I want to get back on my feet and with the job that I accepted I will not even be able to get daycare assistance.

I went out on the worst date of my life last night. My friend set me up with a guy, we went on a blind date, I had assumed she told him that I had a son, but obviously didn't. We were talking waiting for our meals to arrive and I brought up Jack, he asked who Jack was and I told him my son, he kindly said I need to use the restroom, I sat and waited over 20 mins for him to come back, he never did.
