Read Single Mom Life
The blogs listed over on the left side of the page are there because I look in on them regularly. Particularly My Single Mom Life. A lot of lifeblogs can get self-absorbed, narrow and a bit neurotic. Kat's is different. She is out there fighting the good fight, dealing with Bad Real-Life Stuff, cussin' out those who require verbal correction, triumphing over workplace adversity, and dealing the whole single-parent situation ... and believe me, as a full-time single dad of teens, people are not as cool with single parents as you see on teevee. A lot of teachers, neighbors and whatnot simply assume you are a deviant, hippie, lost soul or nut case. They think you're disfunctional, don't love Jesus or Just Aren't A Good Parent and click their tongues about those poor kids who live in something they call "a broken home." Nothing you do can alter this.
In the latest episodes, Kat rescues lost neighborhood children from likely vehicular homicide and is both rewarded and punished for her good deed. The official reaction is not entirely as one would hope. She handles the situation with characteristic pluck, big-heartedness and honesty.
