I am a single mom. I have been since a few days before I found out I was pregnant. I have never had a partner in this game- except for an incredibly supportive family! My adventure started almost eleven years ago when my boys were born. Yes, twins! And they turn eleven tomorrow! Amazing we have survived so long.
We have gone through life in what is probably a very typical manner. The boys, M and C, have been attending public school since kindergarten. I was a high school drop out when they were born and have made my way through community college and university since they were born. I have been working as a paralegal for the last couple years.
Recently we have had major changes in our lives. The boys have been having an increasingly difficult time at school, between bullies, homework, and issues with teachers. Because of these problems we have been discussing different school options between the three of us and with my parents. Just about the time we settled on pulling the kids out of public school and embarking on an independent study path, I lost my job. So now we are all trying to find our feet in all the chaos.
I am looking for work. The boys are enrolled in a school where 80% of the work is done at home. We are together ALL THE TIME! This blog will be an opportunity for me to express the frustrations and joys of our new path. Just like always we are making our life work.
