Well, you already know my opinion about dating someone with a significant age difference. lol... I think many women who are looking for a younger man on a dating site aren't really looking for a long-term relationship that will benefit their child.…

Please note the HUGE RED FLAGS and the neon signs saying "WARNING! WARNING!" Back off of this dude. If you want to hang out with him, insist on hanging with him AND his GF. If he's not willing to do that, then your time together is totally inappropr…

About Me:
I've been a single mama for about 4 years. Initially, I managed to homeschool while working from home and thus began raising a brilliant child. I met my limits with that crazy schedule and had to put my daughter in public school, where she skipped a grade and proceeded to break academic records in her school. I love being a mom. I love teaching. I don't so much love being a single mom.

I try to remain active, spending weekends hiking with the dogs in the summer and walking or running locally year-round. I've adopted a menagerie of animals: 1 shelter mutt, 1 greyhound, 1 cat, and 4 angora rabbits. I've rescued and found homes for more along the way. I seem to be a magnet for creatures with fur.

I love to learn and am always drawn to people who make me think or consider new ideas. I'm a mix of crunchy granola and stiletto heels. I work as a medical transcriptionist in order to stay at home, but it's not exactly providing sufficient funds for the single mom gig, so I'm trying to get into one of the local police or sheriff departments with the long-term goal of becoming a K9 handler. This is proving difficult as no departments are hiring currently, but I'll be ready when they do!

Forgive Me iHeart; It's Been Three Months Since My Last Conf... errr... Login.

Thanks to all who have shot me emails or notes and my sincerest apologies for not responding. Having not logged in for a few months and not receiving any email notifications, I honestly had no idea you guys were trying to get a hold of me. That said, you rock, and thank you.

As one would expect of a single mom who works at a crappy job full time while seeking new employment full time and maintaining a menagerie, I've been very busy.

We've had two recent guests at the Stray Pet Inn (otherwise k… Continue

10 Don'ts for Guys Who Are Dating Online

Okay, women. I know you all can relate to this, so when the guys start harassing me in the comments, show me some support, and feel free to add to the 10 I have here!

All in the name of fun and truth, here are my 10:

1. Don't use terms of endearment in the first email. Don't call me "Sugar," "Babe," "Sweetie," "Sexy," or anything else representing familiarity that we do not yet have. I am not your Sweetie, and I never will be. Don't use cheesy pick-up lines. Put the 101 Best Pick-Up LinesContinue

In Which Rebekah Learns To Use Another Man Tool

It was nearly a year ago that I wrote the following, and since then, I have mastered the art of dog nail grinding, but I enjoyed looking back on this post and thought perhaps some of the ladies out there could relate.

****************************

Becoming a single mother makes a woman realize just how limited she is. The truth is, I have had to accept the fact that I cannot make it in life with only my Swiss Army knife. Though I have opened cans, put cheap furniture together, installed curtain… Continue

Deadly Mail

Yesterday as I was coming into the kitchen to wash dishes, I saw a black widow hanging from a web attached to my faucet. She literally grabbed up a small bug that had flown in through the kitchen window and then climbed up her web to a hiding place located underneath the fixture. I couldn't see under the fixture, and I am currently out of Raid, something I go through around here like most parents go through gallons of milk, so I turned on the faucet and washed dishes as usual. What else could I… Continue

Rant for the Right Wing Ear

I am usually a pretty upbeat, joyful person who finds humor in most of life. This leads those who don't know me to mistake me for someone who has it all together. But let's face it. I went from stay-at-home mom to full-time, sole custody, single mom with limited/no child support in a horrible recession. I don't have it all together. Life kinda sucks actually.

So after enduring some conversations with some arrogant egotists, I waltzed over to my regular blog,… Continue
