A Solo Mother and the Babylune Interview
Anybody noticed the links on my sidebar? Well, I don’t want it to look like my feeds at bloglines so if you or your blog is not listed, don’t despair (as if my link is that important eh? he he) that doesn’t necassarily mean that I don’t read you/your blog.
If you’d peep into my feeds, you’d be shaking your head with the varities, you’d wonder what really makes me tick. Oh yes, I am a celebrity buff and I read celebrity blogs too. Hah!
Anyway, like speedlinking, I want to point you out to the blog(s) closest to my heart. While I truly love (and find very informative) Melissa’s Parenting-Weblog, b5media’s Solo Mother has striken me with a slight pinch right in the middle of my heart.
It was through that blog that I got interviewed by Kate Baggot of Babylune. It took me a long time to wrap up my replies to Kate, it was in between typhoons and of no internet connection.
Finally (before Reming) I emailed the completed version to Kate. (Thanks so much Kate for your patience.)
And so here it is, Kate’s unedited single mother interview of yours truly with this last note:
Single motherhood may not be for everyone but when you find yourself in such a situation, take CHARGE of your life and your child’s life even when you are down in the pits (broke, bad credit standing, out of job or in between jobs, no child help/support, tirefull days and endless sleepless nights) for seemingly the longest time.
A single mother’s life gets BETTER only if you want it to.

“A single mother’s life gets BETTER only if you want it to.”
Darn right.. Our happiness does not depend on others, events or circumstances. It’s our response that makes it so. And you’ve responded greatly!
