Like "Julie & Julia"… Based on 2 true stories


“You are a single mother; you have given up the right to be frivolous.” -Jerry Maguire

Does that not just sum it up?  I almost hired a maid a couple of weeks ago, until my son said the day before, “I’m not doing that; it’s Pramila’s (the maid) job.”  I was horrified that my 2 able-bodied kids and I could not clean a house of 1400 sq ft.  Ridiculous, right?  With 3 dogs and 2 kids, I just can’t seem to keep it ALWAYS tidy…  And this weekend, I was going nuts trying to clean and feeling very frustrated…  Then I thought how sad I will be when the kids and dogs are gone and I’m left with a very clean house?  Ironic, right?  So, for now, I’m thankful for my “opportunity” to clean. 

And, just because I’m a single mom does not mean I will not be a risk taker and/or frivolous whenever I want to be!  🙂
